John Trapp on Daniel 4:14-15

Ver. 14. How down the tree and cut off his branches] One Angel ſeems to call to another to expedite the execution: ſo earneſt they are in the Churches revenge, Rev. 18.21.

Let the beaſts get away] Let this great Conquerour be ſtript at once of his train and dignity. The Duke of Florence gave for his enſign a great tree with many ſpreading boughs, one of them being cut off, with this Poſy, Ʋno avulſo non deficit alter: but here it was otherwiſe.

Pintus in loc.Ver. 15. Nevertheleſſe leave the ſtump of his roots] Which, having life ſtill in it, may ſhoot out again.

Even with a band of iron and braſſe] Hic ab arbore deſilit Angelus ad perſonam: this band intimateth Nebuchadnezzar's madneſſe: for mad folk uſe to be bound.

Let his portion be with the beaſts] Turn him a grazing among beaſts, for his beaſtly conditions.
