Ezekiel28:12
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the King of Tyrus, and say unto him: Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum , full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
See chap. 27. ver. 2. let. a, b.
Called Prince, ver. 2. let. b.
In the search into the frame of thy Government, the manage of it, the prosperity thereof, and its Glory, Power, Riches, and Confederacies thou doest think thy self but just to thy Kingdom to account it the perfect Idea of a good Government, that in the Tyrian State nothing is wanting that might be required in a good Government, in the best Government, and so sealest to the premisses; thus vainly puft up thou wilt have it, that fulness of Wisdom, and perfection of Beauty are in thee, but neither thy Wisdom shall prevent, or defeat the attempts of thine Enemies, nor thy Beauty charme their rage, thou shalt fall by them.
