John Trapp on Esther 5:5

Verſe 5. Then the King ſaid, Cauſe Haman to make haſte] Heb. Accelerate or haſten Haman, ſc. to an ill bargain, as it proved the very next day. Look how thunder commonly happens, when the sky ſeemeth moſt clear: ſo Haman ſaw himſelf inveloped with a ſtorme, in one of the faireſt dayes of his fortune. Philoſophers ſay, that before a ſnow, the weather will be warmiſh: when the winde lies; the great rain falls, and the aire is moſt quiet, [non-Latin text not transcribed] Dic. when ſuddenly there will be an earthquake.

So the King and Haman [illegible: 1 span] ] Who but the King and Haman? So Tiberius called Sej[illegible: 2 letters], My Sej[illegible: 2 letters] Partaker of all my cares and counſels, [illegible: 1 word] and made him his Colleague in the Empire. But he ſoon caſt him from ſupreme honour, to extreme ignominy; ſo that the ſame Senatour, who accompanied him to the Senate, conducted him to priſon, they which ſacrificed unto him as to their god, which kneeled down to him to adore him, ſcoffed at him, and loaded him with contempt and concumelies. So Caeſar Borgia, that reſtleſſe Ambitioniſt, who emulating Julius Caeſar, would needs be aut Caeſar, aut nullus, was ſhortly after & Caeſar, & nullus, being ſlain in the Kingdom of Navarre.
