Psalms91:11

Verſ. 11. For he ſhall give his Angels charge over thee] This guard of Angels, many Angels, yea all, if need be, to ſecure every poor beleever, how manly ſoever he thinks of himſelf, or is eſteemed by others, is no ſmall priviledge. See Mat. 4 6. with the Note.

To keep thee en all thy wayes] In all thy lawfull and Chriſtian undertakings; for no further doth God or his holy Angels take charge of thee. If we keep not within Gods precincts, we cannot look for his protection. Wefts and ſtrayes fall to the Lord of the ſoil. The State ſecureth none that are abroad at undue hours, that travell not betwixt Sun and Sun. Divines obſerve, that the Devil, citing this Text, Mat. 4.6. left out theſe words on purpoſe, as not for his purpoſe; yet doth not our Saviour ſo much as upbraid him with this mutilation, nor yet tell him of that which followeth, verſe 13. Thou ſhalt tread upon the Lyon and Adder, &c. to teach us, in dealing with an adverſary, not to lye at the catch, but anſwer to the thing, &c.
