Here it is questioned, who are meant by Saints; 1there are three opinions about it. The word Saint in general signifies a person separated, or one set apart from others; Holiness is ⟨p. 62⟩our separation from the world unto God: holy persons are separated persons; that's their state. But more distinctly, who are these holy persons, these Saints? The Greek Interpreters restrain the Text to the old Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as also Moses and Aaron, with whom God at some times was angry, or found fault with some of their actings: Secondly, others by the Saints understand the confirmed Angels, who are called Saints, by way of excellency;2 because among all creatures they are (in one sense) the most holy, as having ever been without the least spot or taint of sin, whether in their natures, or in their lives; and having ever continued as the Household servants of God, observant of, and obedient to all his commands.
