And so — In like manner. The wicked — Wicked princes or rulers. Buried — With state and pomp. Who — Had administered publick justice, which is frequently signified by the phrase of coming in and going out before the people. The holy — The throne or tribunal seems to be so called here, to aggravate their wickedness, who being advanced by God into so high and sacred a place, betrayed so great a trust. Where — They lived in great splendor, and were buried with great magnificence. This — That men should so earnestly thirst after glory, which is so soon extinct.
