56. On Angels.

Angels heav'ns nobles; those bright flaming powr's,
Untainted Spirits, are the Saints Servitors,
22

While here they live, and when of life bereaven,
Those blessed Convoys carry them to heaven.
Thus they attended Abram, Daniel, Mary,
And Laz'rus when dead, did to glory carry.
Saints by creation are than Angels lower,
But Saints above them by adoption soar.
