Who in the Heavens? i. e. say some, in the Starry-Heavens, among the Celestial Bodies, Sun, Moon or Stars; which were adored as gods, not only by the Persians, but also by some Idolatrous Jews, because of their brightness and beauty, their lustre and glory. Which of all those famous Lamps, and heavenly Luminaries, is to be compared to the Father of Lights, and Sun of Righteousness? They may glister like Glowworms in the Night of Paganism, among them who are covered with the Mantle of Darkness; but when this Sun ariseth, and day appeareth, they all vanish and disappear.
