Ezekiel24:7-8
Ver. 7. For her blood is in the midſt of her] She careth not who knows of her murthers and oppreſſions. He ſeemeth to allude to that law, that blood being let out of a beaſt ſhould be covered in the ground.
She ſet it upon the top of a rock] Super limpidiſſimam petram, ſaith the Vulgar, as glorying in it. So Abimelech ſlew all his brethren upon one ſtone, Judg. 9.5. the Jews crucified our Saviour on Mount Calvary.
She poured it not] Pudet non eſſe impudentem.
Agit cum illa ex lege talionis. Pol. Ver. 8. I have ſet her blood upon the top of a rock] Where it will be ſeen afar off and for along time. As her ſin was in propatulo in open view; ſo (to cry quittance with her) ſhall her puniſhment likewiſe be: my viſible vengeance ſhall follow her cloſe at heels as a blood-hound.
