Acts5:19

19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison-doors, and brought them forth, and said,

God useth the Ministry of Angels, tho he might otherwise do what pleaseth him; An Angel rolled away the stone from the door of the Sepulchre. Angels ministred to Christ, Matth. 4.11. And are all ministring spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation, Hebr. 1.14. And encamp round about them that fear God, Psal. 34.7.

And shut them again, after that the Apostles were gone out, as appears ver. 23.

Marginal references: Chap. 12.7, and 16.26.
