John Trapp on Ezekiel 34:10-11

Ver. 10. Behold I am againſt the ſhepherds] Heb. Lo, I againſt: by an angry Apoſiopeſis.

And cauſe them to ceaſe from feeding the flock] They ſhall be Officiperdae, Quondams, laid aſide like broken veſſels, as have been ſome Kings of this land in their ſeveral generations (one of recent remembrance) Popiſh Biſhops not a few, Bonner and others outed and deprived..

Ego, ego, Nominatium abſolute [illegible: 1 letter]o tu[illegible: 1 letter]. Oeconom. lib. 1. Ver. 11. Behold I even I will both ſearch] Ego ego repoſcam & anquiram: rather then the work ſhall be undone, Ile do all my ſelf, and then 'tis ſure to be well done. Ariſtotle telleth of a certain Perſian, who being asked What did moſt of all feed the horſe? anſwered, the Maſters eye: And of a certain African of whom when it was demanded, What was the beſt manure or ſoil for a field? anſwered, the owners foot-ſteps, that is, his preſence and perambulation. Praeſul ut praeſit & profit ſuis, ab iis non abſit, Shepherds ſhould reſide with their flocks: the Archſhepherd will not fail to do ſo.
