    • 1641, Joseph Hall, A Short Answer to the Vindication of Smectymnuus:
      The first is true: all under the first is obnoxious to error; the puisne posthumous antiquity hath been a refuge for falsehood: the primigenous antiquity, which proceeded from the Ancient of Days, is certain.
    • 1611, The Holy Bible, [] (King James Version), London: [] Robert Barker, [], →OCLC, Daniel 7:13-14:
      I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
