Ezekiel13:5

Ver. 5. Ye have not gone up into the gaps] Reclaimed the People from their impieties (thoſe inlets of plagues) nor interceded for them by your prayers to God to turn away wrath, but haſtened it. Ye have built indeed a wall, and dawbed it with morter, but ſuch as is untempered, ver. 10. arena ſine calce, like ill architects.

Neither made up the hedge] To keep foxes out of Gods vineyard: it is even opentide.

To ſtand in the battle] As Davids three Worthies did in the Barly-field and delivered it,Turk hiſt. 417. 1 Chron. 11.14. Or as Marulla the maid of Lemnos, who like a fierce Amazon, deſperately fought with the Turks in defence of her country Coccinum (a City in that Iſland) and kept them out, till more company came to her relief, moved with the alarm.
