Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

he had--Greek, "Having." in his hand--in his left hand: as in Re 10:5 (see on Re 10:5), he lifts up his right hand to heaven. a little book--a roll little in comparison with the "book" (Re 5:1) which contained the whole vast scheme of God's purposes, not to be fully read till the final consummation.
