John Trapp on Ezekiel 1:6

Ver. 6. And every one had four faces] To ſet forth, ſaith an Expoſitour, that the power of Angels is exerciſed about all creatures. It is as if the Angels did bear on them the heads of all living-wights, i. e. did comprehend in themſelves all the Elements and all the parts of the world: not as if they did move or act by their own power, but as they are Gods hands and Agents, employed by him at pleaſure, for the good of his Church eſpecially, Heb. 1.14. as being fit and ready to every good work: ſo ſhould we ſtrive to be, Tit. 3.1.

And every one had four wings] To ſet forth their agility,De aſcenſ. ment. in Deum, grad. 7. their incredible ſwiftneſs, far beyond that of the Sun, which yet, if Bellarmine reckoneth right, runneth in the eighth part of an hour, ſeven thouſand miles: others ſay many more.
