The principal things recorded concerning this Court of Elders, or Judges; are § 14 (First,) Their Orders, namely, that there was one that always presided amongst them, whom they called [Greek or Hebrew], the Prince, and [Greek or Hebrew], the Excellent, who supplied the place of Moses. And on his right hand sate he, whom they called [Greek or Hebrew], the Father of the House of Judgement, or consistory, who gathered the suffrages of the Assessors. By whom stood two Scribes [Greek or Hebrew], Scribes of Judgements, one on the right hand of the Prince, the other on his left; one whereof wrote down the sentences of them who condemned, the other them who absolved the persons that were to be judged. There belonged also to the Courts two Criers, and two who received the Alms that was given by them who were absolved. Before them at some distance sate these wise men, out of whom the number of the Sanhedrin when any dyed, or were removed, was to be supplied.
