John Trapp on Revelation 4:10

Verſe 10. The four and twenty Elders] The people yeeld their aſſent, and ſay Amen: the want whereof S. Paul accounts no ſmall loſſe, 1 Cor. 14.16.

And caſt their crowns] Canutus King of England ſet his crown upon the crucifix, and proclaimed, ſaying,Hen. Hunting[illegible: 2 letters] Let all the inhabitants of the world know, that there is no mortall man worthy the name of a King, but he to whoſe beck heaven, earth and ſea, by his laws eternall are obedient. When the great Turk cometh into his Temple, he laies by all his ſtate, and hath none to attend him all the while. Solomons mother ſet the crown upon his head (ſo doth the Church upon Chriſts head) in the day of his eſpouſals, Cant. 3.11.
