Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

younger--than sixty years old (1Ti 5:9). refuse--to take on the roll of presbyteress widows. wax wanton--literally, "over-strong" (2Ch 26:16). against Christ--rebelling against Christ, their proper Bridegroom [JEROME]. they will--Greek, "they wish"; their desire is to marry again.
