First, Some interpret this whole verse concerning the stars or the heavenly bodies, not only taking the first part of the verse literally for the stars in heaven; but by the sons of God in the latter part of the verse, they understand the stars in a figure; as I shall show more fully, when I come to the opening of those words. Thus they expound the whole verse concerning ⟨p. 76⟩the glory and praise which the stars in heaven gave to God, for the Work of Creation at the laying of the foundations of the Earth.

1A second sort of Interpreters expound the whole verse of the Angels, and not of the Stars properly at all; they suppose the morning Stars to be Angels in a figure, and the Sons of God to be Angels in the letter: and so expound the whole verse of the Angels, as if the words were a description only of that joy which the Angels of Heaven only expressed, when they saw God beginning the Work of Creation, or laying the foundations of the Earth.
