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.
Yet, let me add, by way of Caution, that neither this Text, nor the notes given from it, are so to be understood, as if all righteous persons might hence expect great advancements in this world, or to be the special Favourites of Kings and Princes: The word of God doth not feed such humours, but mortifies them; nor doth it cherish any such aspiring expectations in righteous men, but teaches them quiet submission in their own private stations and callings, to those who are upon the Throne. So that while Elihu saith of the righteous, With Kings are they on the Throne, his meaning must be taken soberly, and may be taken distinctly, thus;
First, That God hath great respect to, and high favours for righteous men.
Secondly, That he brings some of them (as it is said of Daniel with the Prince of the Eunuchs, Chap. 1.9.) into favour and tender love with Kings and Princes.
