Sometimes they that do not fear God, have Angelical Aides and Assistances, ⟨p. 43⟩for the sake of such as do fear him. It was before noted, that the Angel said of Darius, I stood to confirm and strengthen him: and yet we cannot say, that Darius was a true Fearer of the Lord. But much more do they assist them, that do indeed fear him, when they are called to any singular Service for his Name. It was from this consideration, that Abraham did encourage his Servant to go on that great Concern, which he was sent to manage, for his Masters Family: The Lord (said he) before whom I walk, will send His Angel with thee, and prosper thy way, Gen. 24.40. His way was made prosperous; he did obtain that which he was sent about, because God sent Angels with him, who caused his faithful Endeavours to prove successful.
