'Wonderful order': praying the Michaelmas collect with Bullinger

From Bullinger's Decades (and we might recall MacCulloch's statement that "The Ecclesiastical Polity was much more in the spirit of the Decades than has often been realized"), an extract on the ministry of the holy angels that could act as a commentary on the Prayer Book collect for Michaelmas and is a reminder of the rich angelic theology known to Reformed Catholicks:

But that the angels are most free and swift, and without impediment, burden, and let, the scripture in many places declareth ... These angels, that is to say, these heavenly ambassadors, being of their own nature most swift and speedy spirits, are now conversant in heaven, the power of God so willing and working: but so soon as it shall please the Lord of all, by and by they are present with men in earth, unto whom they are sent of God from heaven ... Angels therefore are swift and passing speedy, being kept down with no weight, neither hindered nor stayed from performing those things for which they are sent from heaven ...

But because of his special goodness he created them to the partaking of everlasting life and salvation, he useth their ministry to us-ward, as he also doth the service of other creatures, to whom they declare their faith and obedience to God-ward; and God exerciseth his unspeakable good-will both toward them, whom by grace he hath made partakers of everlasting joy, and also toward us, whom he hath vouchsafed to honour with the service of so excellent a company. For among other innumerable and the greatest benefits of God, whereat not without cause we are astonished, this is not to be accounted the least, that he hath given us angels to be our servants. Truly this is an exceeding great token of his fatherly care and regard to us-ward, first of all because he frameth himself so sweetly to our capacities and dispositions ... 

And doubtless angels love men exceedingly; and that which they do, they do of their own accord, not of constraint or unwillingly. For they cannot but exceedingly love them whom they see to be so dear to their Creator, that for their sakes he spared not his only-begotten Son, but for them delivered him up into most bitter death: that I make no mention here of the most ready obedience which they perform to their God, who willeth and commandeth them to serve him and men. 

... they take upon them the charge and defence of us, God so commanding: they are our keepers, ready at hand watching over us that no adversity happen unto us, and do guide our ways: for hitherto belong the testimonies of the Psalms, and very many examples of the scripture.
