Grey hairs] That is, their miseries were so long upon them, that made them grey, they were lasting sorrows, they were old in sin, and God made them old in miseries and punishments for their sins. Thus Germany hath been grey-headed for many years together, in respect of the length of their miseries.

Grey hairs: that is, They have been a long time and might have gained more knowledge of me, and got large experiences of the goodness of my ways, yet they know me not, nor my ways; the whiter mens heads are, the blacker are their sins many times; 'tis a most dreadful sight to see a white head and an old sinner. I have read of one Eleazer, 1which would not do any thing which might seem to be evil, because he would not spot his white head. Grey hairs should be a strong argument to move men to walk blamelessly in their lives.
