Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Secondly, There are others, who,1 a little mistaking the word which we translate Kings, render it Angels; They are with Angels on the Throne. There is but very little difference in the Hebrew between those two words that signify Kings and Angels, (the former is Melachim, the latter Maleachim) which hath given occasion for this reading, He placeth them with Angels on the Throne; and so the words are interpreted of the glorious exaltation of the righteous in Heaven, (when indeed they shall be like Angels, Angels Fellows, (Mat. 22.30.) and walk hand in hand with Angels.) Mr Broughton though he translate (with Kings) yet seems to carry it in that sense, giving his gloss in the Margin, thus; They shall be made fit for light with the living, with the Angels of God, his servants, in their degree, and be placed for ever in honour, and be high in honour and dignity; so ye shall sit upon twelve Thrones, judging the twelve Tribes of Israel. But this Text will not serve that purpose neither; and therefore I shall take it plainly as we render it, They shall be with Kings upon the Throne. 2There is a two-fold interpretation of the words according to this translation.
