And first is showed in what place of the throne the beasts were:1 to wit in the midst of the Throne, and in the circuit of the same. You will are, if they be in the throne, how should they be about the Throne? if they be about the Throne, how be they in the midst of the Throne? The thing must be so conceived, as I admonished also before, that we should understand, that under the Throne the midst of the beasts do with their hinder parts reach to the midst of the ⟨p. 149⟩Throne inwardly, and so as it were to have borne up the Throne: And with their fore parts, I mean, with their breasts, and heads and wings to have stand forth, and so to have compassed the Throne, and as it were environed it round about. For so might they seem to be in the midst of the same Throne, and round about the same.
And first is shewed in what place of the throne the beastes were:1 to witte in the middes of the Throne, and in the circuit of the same. You wil are, if they be in the throne, how should they be about the Throne? if they be about the Throne, how be they in the middes of the Throne? The thynge muste be so conceaued, as I admonisshed also before, that we should vnderstāde, that vnder the Throne the middes of the beastes doe with their hinder partes reache to the middes of the ⟨p. 149⟩Throne inwardely, and so as it were to haue borne vp the Throne: And with their fore partes, I meane, with theyr brestes, and heades and winges to haue stande forth, and so to haue compassed the Throne, and as it were inuironed it rounde about. For so mighte they seme to be in the middes of the same Throne, and rounde about the same.
