Daniel3:2
Ver. 2. Then Nebuchadnezzar the King ſent to gather together the Princes] Satrapas, not ſo called, quia ſat rapiant, as Lyra doateth: for it is a Perſian word ſignifying ſuch as were near the Kings perſon. Superſtition firſt looks to wind in great Ones, Ezr. 8.11. the vulgar are carried away to dumb idols, like as they are led, 1 Cor. 12.2. They are ſheepiſh and will follow a leader as well into a penfold as a paſture: they alſo feed moſt greedily on the graſſe that will rot them.
