And the four and twenty Elders. By these Elders we may1 understand all the faithful people of God, especially their chiefs and leaders, godly Magistrates and godly Ministers going before, stirring them up, and directing them to magnify ⟨p. 6⟩the name of the Lord. Among the Saints some are Elders by Office, many in regard of Age, all in regard of that real gravity and dignity, which spiritual wisdom and2 holiness casts upon them. Wisdom and holiness are the grey-hairs of young-men. The hoary head is a crown of Glory when it is found in the way of righteousness. And the ways of righteousness are a crown of glory upon the greenest head.
