John Trapp on Matthew 18:12

Verse 12. [illegible: 1 word] he not leave the ninety and nine] I am not saith a Divine, of their fond opinion, that think the Angels are [illegible: 1 word]. 99 oves [illegible: 4 words] non [illegible: 1 word], [illegible: 1 word], [illegible: 1 word]. here meant by the ninety nine sheep, as if they were [illegible: 1 word] infinite in number beyond the number of mankinde: yet, without question, they are exceeding many, and that number cannot be known of us in this world, Dan. 7. 10. Psal. 68. 17. The Chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of Angels: the Lord is among them as in Sinai, &c. that is, those myriads of Angels make Sion as dreadfull to all her enemies, as those Angels made Sinai at the delivery of the law. But the application of this [illegible: 1 word] makes it plain, that the hundred sheep are Gods elect [illegible: 1 word] ones; all which are set [illegible: 1 word] by Christ upon the everlasting mountains, and not one of them lost, Joh. 10. Matth. 24.
