deliverance_n be_v oftentime_o spiritual_a and_o so_o job_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o all_o his_o trouble_n when_o god_n give_v he_o patience_n to_o endure_v his_o trouble_n but_o special_o lazarus_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o his_o trouble_n when_o he_o be_v carry_v by_o angel_n into_o abraham_n bosom_n verse_n 7_o and_o here_o it_o fall_v out_o fit_o to_o mention_v angel_n for_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n encamp_v round_o about_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o and_o deliver_v they_o we_o little_o think_v we_o have_v a_o continual_a guard_n about_o we_o and_o less_o we_o think_v that_o we_o have_v a_o whole_a camp_n for_o our_o guard_n but_o least_o of_o all_o that_o it_o be_v a_o camp_n of_o angel_n oh_o how_o safe_a shall_v we_o think_v ourselves_o if_o this_o be_v so_o o_o my_o soul_n this_o be_v so_o and_o yet_o we_o think_v ourselves_o not_o safe_a enough_o and_o may_v it_o not_o then_o be_v just_o say_v what_o doubt_v you_o of_o o_o you_o of_o jittle_a faith_n but_o how_o can_v we_o think_v there_o be_v angel_n to_o guard_v we_o when_o we_o scarce_o think_v there_o be_v any_o angel_n for_o if_o there_o be_v they_o must_v be_v creature_n of_o god_n and_o then_o certain_o creature_n of_o a_o most_o excellent_a nature_n and_o will_v moses_n then_o have_v leave_v they_o out_o in_o his_o catalogue_n of_o creature_n where_o he_o reckon_v they_o all_o up_o indeed_o for_o this_o very_a reason_n because_o they_o be_v creature_n of_o a_o most_o excellent_a nature_n have_v moses_n leave_v they_o out_o for_o he_o speak_v but_o of_o material_a creature_n in_o this_o material_a world_n of_o which_o number_n the_o angel_n be_v none_o but_o we_o may_v think_v perhaps_o there_o be_v none_o because_o we_o can_v see_v none_o as_o though_o we_o can_v see_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v invisible_a shall_v we_o therefore_o think_v we_o have_v no_o soul_n because_o we_o can_v see_v our_o soul_n we_o live_v now_o by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o sight_n and_o therefore_o can_v neither_o see_v soul_n nor_o angel_n we_o shall_v then_o see_v both_o when_o we_o shall_v live_v by_o sight_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n alas_o if_o we_o believe_v no_o more_o than_o we_o see_v we_o seem_v not_o to_o live_v by_o faith_n neither_o for_o faith_n believe_v that_o which_o it_o can_v see_v oh_o therefore_o my_o soul_n to_o make_v it_o appear_v thou_o live_v and_o that_o thou_o live_v by_o faith_n let_v this_o be_v a_o article_n of_o thy_o creed_n that_o the_o angel_n encamp_v and_o pitch_v their_o tent_n about_o thou_o that_o if_o at_o any_o time_n thou_o be_v assault_v if_o assault_v by_o enemy_n if_o by_o a_o army_n of_o enemy_n thou_o may_v have_v recourse_n to_o the_o confidence_n of_o this_o guard_n and_o never_o tremble_v for_o any_o alarm_n see_v there_o be_v more_o with_o we_o then_o be_v against_o we_o but_o how_o can_v the_o godly_a think_v they_o have_v a_o guard_n about_o they_o when_o it_o be_v for_o prince_n only_o to_o have_v a_o guard_n and_o the_o godly_a for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v but_o private_a man_n o_o my_o soul_n this_o be_v a_o guard_n that_o attend_v no_o less_o the_o poor_a man_n than_o the_o great_a prince_n and_o attend_v he_o with_o as_o much_o carefulness_n as_o if_o he_o be_v a_o prince_n but_o if_o there_o be_v angel_n to_o defend_v the_o godly_a why_o do_v they_o not_o defend_v they_o why_o do_v they_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v so_o molest_v so_o afflict_v as_o they_o be_v for_o who_o be_v in_o such_o trouble_n who_o groan_n under_o such_o affliction_n as_o the_o godly_a and_o will_v this_o be_v so_o if_o that_o be_v so_o will_v they_o be_v so_o oppress_v if_o they_o have_v angel_n to_o relieve_v they_o o_o my_o soul_n thou_o little_o consider_v the_o infinite_a benefit_n that_o the_o godly_a re-receive_a by_o the_o ministry_n of_o angel_n if_o perhaps_o they_o suffer_v trouble_n of_o the_o body_n do_v they_o not_o escape_v far_o great_a of_o the_o soul_n if_o they_o endure_v perhaps_o some_o momentary_a affliction_n do_v they_o not_o avoid_v affliction_n that_o will_v be_v everlasting_a be_v there_o not_o a_o army_n of_o malignant_a spirit_n to_o assault_v they_o and_o can_v they_o be_v safe_a from_o tear_v in_o piece_n if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o camp_n of_o angel_n to_o assist_v they_o but_o though_o the_o angel_n be_v a_o guard_n to_o the_o whole_a man_n both_o body_n and_o soul_n yet_o be_v creature_n spiritual_a and_o invisible_a they_o be_v chief_o a_o guard_n to_o the_o invisible_a and_o spiritual_a part_n which_o be_v the_o soul_n the_o body_n they_o know_v must_v go_v to_o the_o earth_n and_o therefore_o though_o a_o part_n be_v the_o least_o part_n of_o their_o care_n it_o be_v the_o soul_n they_o chief_o wait_v upon_o because_o it_o be_v the_o soul_n they_o chief_o wait_v for_o for_o they_o stand_v wait_v for_o the_o soul_n when_o it_o shall_v leave_v the_o body_n that_o they_o may_v take_v it_o and_o carry_v it_o into_o abraham_n bosom_n for_o till_o then_o they_o break_v not_o up_o their_o campe._n and_o now_o o_o my_o soul_n see_v the_o angel_n be_v so_o beneficial_a and_o so_o good_a unto_o we_o oh_o taste_n verse_n 8_o and_o see_v how_o good_a the_o lord_n be_v for_o by_o the_o goodness_n we_o find_v in_o the_o angel_n we_o may_v take_v a_o taste_n of_o the_o goodness_n that_o be_v in_o god_n if_o it_o be_v a_o great_a goodness_n in_o the_o angel_n to_o encamp_v about_o we_o how_o great_a be_v his_o goodness_n that_o give_v it_o they_o in_o charge_n for_o the_o angel_n will_v not_o do_v it_o if_o god_n do_v not_o command_v they_o alas_o they_o can_v not_o do_v it_o if_o god_n do_v not_o enable_v they_o oh_o then_o taste_n and_o see_v how_o good_a the_o lord_n be_v not_o how_o good_a the_o angel_n be_v though_o they_o be_v good_a and_o exceed_v good_a in_o their_o kind_n as_o minister_n yet_o what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n who_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o goodness_n to_o the_o angel_n themselves_o o_o then_o taste_v and_o see_v how_o good_a the_o lord_n be_v for_o taste_v he_o we_o may_v but_o we_o can_v but_o taste_v he_o while_o we_o live_v here_o we_o shall_v not_o have_v a_o full_a comprehension_n of_o he_o till_o we_o come_v to_o see_v as_o we_o be_v see_v when_o we_o shall_v need_v no_o more_o encamp_v of_o angel_n round_o about_o we_o o_o then_o taste_n and_o see_v how_o good_a the_o lord_n be_v but_o how_o can_v we_o taste_v he_o that_o be_v not_o bodily_a how_o see_v he_o that_o be_v not_o visible_a not_o he_o indeed_o but_o his_o

pleasure_n in_o other_o meat_n if_o you_o will_v but_o see_v he_o you_o will_v never_o delight_v in_o other_o object_n o_o my_o soul_n if_o thou_o can_v but_o taste_v the_o sweetness_n if_o but_o see_v the_o goodness_n that_o be_v in_o god_n it_o will_v make_v thou_o fall_v into_o a_o great_a ecstasy_n than_o that_o of_o saint_n peter_n at_o the_o sight_n of_o christ_n glory_n in_o the_o

the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o taste_n to_o the_o sweetness_n that_o be_v in_o god_n but_o as_o bitter_a aloe_n to_o the_o sweet_a honey_n what_o be_v the_o delight_n that_o pass_v by_o the_o sense_n

which_o shall_v never_o end_v as_o the_o day_n be_v in_o god_n court_n be_v better_a than_o a_o thousand_o which_o have_v a_o end_n as_o all_o the_o day_n of_o this_o world_n be_v if_o he_o have_v

doorkeeper_n of_o paradise_n and_o be_v there_o not_o a_o conceit_n that_o saint_n peter_n be_v the_o doorkeeper_n of_o heaven_n which_o though_o it_o be_v a_o vain_a conceit_n yet_o it_o may_v lead_v we_o to_o this_o congruous_a interpretation_n of_o david_n speech_n to_o conceive_v as_o if_o he_o say_v that_o he_o have_v rather_o be_v saint_n peter_n in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n then_o be_v annas_n or_o caiphas_n in_o the_o court_n of_o herod_n indeed_o in_o the_o sense_n that_o christ_n be_v a_o door_n david_n may_v well_o be_v content_a to_o be_v a_o doorkeeper_n and_o though_o in_o
