John Trapp on Zechariah 1:10

Verſe 10. And the man that ſtood among the myrtle-trees] The man Chriſt Jeſus, that is ever with his Church, and in the midſt of his people, that feedeth among the lill[illegible: 1 letter]es, and walketh in the middeſt of the ſeven golden candleſticks. He being asked by the foreſaid Angel, anſwered him (in Zacharies hearing) for he is Palmoni hammedabber, that excellent Speaker, as Daniel calleth him, and therefore asketh him of the viſion, Dan. 8.13.

Theſe are they whom the Lord hath ſent] As his Epoptai, or Overſeers and Intelligencers. Not that God needeth them, as Princes need the counſell and aid of their ſubjects. The holy Angels receive möre from God, then they performe, or bring to him. But he maketh uſe of their ſervice about us. 1. For the honour of his Majeſty, and comfort of our infirmity. 2. To make out his love unto us, by employing ſuch noble creatures for our good. 3. To make and maintain love and correſpondency between us and Angels, till we come to walk arm in arm with Angels, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. as Zach. 3.7. and to be like unto them, yea their equals, Luke 20.36. if not more, Epheſ. 1.23.
