Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 1:23

23 And under the firmament were their wings straight , the one toward the other ; every one had two which covered on this side , and every one had two, which covered on that side their bodies .

Below at a great, which is but due, distance of Angels, and Creatures and Servants to their God, Creator and Lord, stood these living creatures. i. e. Two of each living creature as appeareth by the phrase, one toward the other.

Stretcht [illegible: 1 letter]orth ready for motion if commanded and with equal straightness and heighth, in close and affectionate union, joyning in the work appointed them.

Each of the [illegible: 1 letter]our living had two other wings with which they covered their bodies.

The two living creatures on the one side of the Chariot, and two living creatures on the other side. So that in what position soever the Prophet look towards them, their lower wings covered them.

Bodies here asc[illegible: 1 letter]ibed to them representatively and as all the rest visionally.
