John Trapp on Ezekiel 1:26

Ver. 26. And above the firmament] See on ver. 22.

Was the likeneſſe of a throne] Far beyond that of Solomon, 1 King. 10.18, 19. That was of Ivory, but this of Saphire: that had a rich canopy over it, but this the azured sky under it: See Exod. 24.10. all to ſet forth Chriſt's kingly dignity, and ſurpaſſing Majeſty.

And upon the likeneſſe] All was but likeneſſe and appearance, becauſe all was viſional here.

As the appearance of a man] This was the Man Chriſt Jeſus, and this is the laſt and beſt part of the viſion, viz. Chriſt ſet by his father in ſuperceleſtial places, far above all Principality and Power, &c. Epheſ. 1.20, 21. One of Auſtin's wiſhes was to have ſeen Chriſt on earth. Bede comes after, and wiſheth rather to have ſeen Chriſt in his glory, and on his heavenly throne.
