1. On the right hand of the Majesty. 2. On high.
By the Majesty, is meant God himself, as more plainly is expressed in other places, where Christ is said to be at the right hand of GOD (Rom. 8. 34.) and to be set down on the right hand of God, Heb. 10. 12.
• Majesty importeth such greatness and excellency as makes one to be honoured1 ⟨p. 25⟩of all and preferred before all. It is a little proper to Kings, who in their dominions are above all and over all. eBy way of excellency a King is styled fMajesty it self: as when we speak of a King, we say, His Majesty: when to him, Your Majesty. A word like to this coming from the same root, is translated gmagnificence: which also is applied to God, and translated, as the word here Majesty, 2 Pet. 1. 16.
