And with their hands they shall lift thee up, lest, &c.]
As Pa∣rents* 1.1 use to lift their little ones over rough and foul waies: Or, as 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in an house love to get up into their arms their young master. In Christ and for Christ, they count it their greatest glory, to doe us any good office for soul or body: they save us from the foul fiends, that else would worry us. These walk a∣bout as Lions to 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉 us, whiles alive, and to hinder our pas∣sage to heaven, when we die: the other, as guardians, to keep us here, and to convey and conduct us thorow the devils ter∣ritories (who is Prince of the air) when we goe hence to hea∣ven,* 1.2 in despite of the 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉 that would intercept us, Dan. 10. 21.
