John Trapp on Ezekiel 38:15

Ver. 15. Out of the North-parts] Ab Aquilone nihil boni: from ſpiritual Babylon comes all miſchief to the Church.The King of Syria is called King of the North, Dan. 10.

A great company and a mighty army] Such was the army of Antiochus Epiphanes againſt the Jews; of the Turk againſt Chriſtians; of the Pope againſt the Huſſites, Waldenſes, &c. He deceiveth the Nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the ſand of the ſea,De Rom. Pont. lib. 3. cap. 16. & 17. Rev. 20.8. He hath at his command the Italians, Walloons, Spaniards, whom Bellarmine rightly reckoneth among the ſouldiers of Antichriſt.
