Ezekiel38:4
Ver. 4. And I will turn thee back] As he did Antiochus Epimanes by the Jewes: the Turks oft by Hunniades: the Popes forces by the Huſſites in Germany, and lately by the Suedes. It hath been long agoe foretold, and for many ages believed, and by the Turks themſelves not a little feared, that the Mahometan ſuperſtition by the ſword begun, and by the ſword maintained,Turk. Hiſt. 1153. ſhall at length by the Chriſtian ſword alſo be deſtroyed, ſo that the name of Gog and Magog (ſaith the Hiſtorian) ſhall be no more heard of under heaven. A cold ſweat alſo ſtands at this time upon the limbs of the Weſtern Antichriſt, by reaſon of the growing greatneſſe of the Proteſtant Princes.
And put hooks into thy chaws] A Metaphor from thoſe that catch Whales: Confer chap 29.4.
And I will bring thee] But, for an ill bargain.
