Ver. 24. But the angel] If an angel stand in the way of a sorcerer's sin, how much more ready are all those heavenly spirits to stop the miscarriages of God's dear children! Surely as our good endeavours are oft hindered by Satan, so are our evil by good angels; else were not our protection equal to our danger, and we could neither stand nor rise.
