One Cried to another, & said, Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts, the whole Earth is full of his Glory. Every Knee in Heaven bows to Him, and every Tongue there Celebrates his Praises; and shall not we on Earth do so? Had we the Tongue of Men and Angels, we could not set him forth according to what He is worthy of. He has done more for us, than ever He did for Angels. He has dyed for us, but not for them. They are indeed beholden to him as GOD for their Beings. By Him were all things created that are in Heaven and •n Earth, visible and invisible: But He is our Mediator and Redeemer, which cannot be said of Angels; if then they Love and Admire and Serve our Lord Jesus Christ, •et us go and do so.
