Behold a certain man] Heb one man, a ſingular man, a glorious perſon; Meſſias the Prince, deſcribed here by his habit and parts as a Judge, ſay ſome, or as a Prieſt, ſay others: See chap. 12.6, 7. Rev 1.13, 14, 15. & 10.5.
Cloathed in linnen] To ſhew his innocency and purity, as alſo his righteouſneſſes (Imputed and Imparted) wherewith he cloatheth his Saints, Rev. 19.8. that fine white linnen and ſhining.
Whoſe loins were girded with fine gold of Ʋphaz] Or of Ophir, Peru, haply, or Malaca, or Sophala. This golden girdle about his loines denoteth Chriſts ſtrength and alacrity, Pſal. 93.1. Luke 17.8.
