Ezekiel27:3
Ver. 3. O thou that art ſituate as the entry of the ſea] As now the City of Venice is, —Mediâ inſuperabilis undâ. Environed with her embracing Neptune, to whom (as the ceremony of throwing a ring into the ſea implyeth, ſaith one) ſhe marrieth her ſelf with yearly nuptials. But hath ſhe ſo learned Chriſt? and doth not the Nebuchadnezzar of Conſtantinople now threaten her ſore?
Thou haſt ſaid, I am of perfect beauty] So that nothing can be added to me: I am ocellus orbis. But who made thee to differ? is not all thy beauty borrowed? will not this thy bulging wall down ere long?
