The word signifies to guide, or conduct gently, softly, canst thou guide them as a Shepherd guides his flock? canst thou guide them as a Father guides his Family, his Wife, Children, and Servants? canst thou direct them their course, how or which way to go? Some think he useth the word guide, because this constellation represents the form of a Wane or Wagon, and is by us commonly called Charles-wane, or the greater Bear. Canst thou guide Arcturus.

Some read Arcturus, and her Daughters; Master Broughton, and her Children: We render in the Masculine Gender, and his Sons. There is one principal Star, and several other Stars that stand as Children about their Father or Mother; and therefore the Lord expresseth them by that familiar Allusion, Arcturus and his Sons, canst thou guide them?
