Three or four things are taught us concerning these Elders, which they did or performed, not to every body, but to him that sitteth on the throne, and liveth for ever & ever. For so be the titles of God repeated, whereof is spoken before. We told you also that the seats of the Elders were set round about the Throne, in which they sate clothed with white raiment, crowned with crowns of Gold, living with him that liveth for ever.
Three or foure thinges are taught vs concernyng these Elders, whiche they did or perfourmed, not to euery body, but to him that sitteth on the throne, and liueth for euer & euer. For so be the titles of God repeted, wherof is spokē before. We tolde you also that the seates of the Elders were sette rounde about the Throne, in whiche they sate clothed with white rayment, crowned with crownes of Golde, liuynge with him that liueth for euer.
They first arise out of their seats or chairs,1 and fall down ([Greek or Hebrew] fall) upon their knees or on their face before god. And in falling or kneeling down, they show a submission or lowliness of mind, that we might learn with great humility and reverence to submit our souls and bodies to our God, submitting I say, our selves and all our things to his good will and pleasure. But if the blessed souls, now purified, and already having the fruition of the sight of God, fall down before the Lord. What should not a wretched man do miserable, mortal, and a sinner? Let him be ashamed of rebellion and slothfulness, which seeth so great submission in the most noble and Godly souls of heavenly dwellers.
