Verse 10. Take heed that ye despise not, &c.]
Gr. Look to it if you do, a foul mischief is towards you. Look to it as you tender* 1.1 your own safety here, or salvation hereafter. Cast not the least contempt upon Christs little ones. As little as they are, they have a great champion, Isa. 37. 22, 23. and so many Angels to right them and fight for them, that a man had better anger all the witches in the world, then one of these little ones. I tell you, some great ones have been fain to humble themselves, and to lick the ve∣ry dust of their feet sometimes, that they might be reconciled to them, Isa. 60. 14. If Cain do not lowre upon Abel, God will ar∣raign him for it. Why is thy countenance cast down, &c? Why* 1.2* 1.3 dost look so doggedly? If Miriam do but mutter against Moses

God will spet in her face: And, if Aaron had not made the more hast to make his peace by repentance, he also had tasted of the lame sawce.
Their Angels do allwaies behold the face]
Angels in the Syri∣ack are named 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 of the face, because it is their office and ho∣nour to look alwaies on Gods face. They are sent about Gods messages to this earth, yet are never out of their heaven, never 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of the vision of their maker. No more are godly men, when busi∣ed in their callings. And, howsoever slighted in the world, yet Angels are sent forth for their safeguard and service, Heb. 1. 14. yea for the accomplishment of all designes for the Saints good, they stand alway looking God full in the face, to receive com∣mandments.
