John Trapp on Habakkuk 1:16

Verſe 16. Therefore they ſacrifice to their net] Thus wicked men grow worſe and worſe: their ſinne is infinite,, what marvail then, if their puniſhment bee alſo infinite in hell?Sejanus ſibi ſacrificabat. Deo. To all other their iniquities theſe Caldeans adde this of abominable idolatry, they ſacrifice to themſelves, as Sejanus did, to their net, drag, &c, that is, to their weapons, as Ajax called his ſword, his god; and thanked it for all his brave atchievments. And as Mezentius (another Atheiſt) is brought in, ſaying; Dextrae mihi Deus,Virg. Aeneid. lib. 10. & telum quod miſſile libro. So Seſoſtris, king of Egypt (in Sampſons dayes) would needes be called [non-Latin text not transcribed] Lord of the whole world: and when he had conquered any countrey, he cauſed theſe words to be engraven there upon marble pillars, This countrey I gained by mine own ſtrength &c. So Antiochus, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Herod. l. 2. (that little Antichriſt) is ſaid to worſhip his God Mauzzim, that is, his forces and armies Dan. 11.38. It was Nebuchadnezzar that was here pointed at: and how he deified himſelf and his own doings ſee Eſ. 10.13. Dan. 4.26.

and burn intenſe to their draggs] whiles they aſcribe to the inſtrument, that which is due to God alone, the chief Agent. Hold out net, ſaid they: well done dragge &c. Hoc ego primus vidi, ſaid Zabarell, Hoc ego feci ſaith Another. But what ſaith Luther? By mens boaſting in this ſort, Haec ego feci, haec ego feci, Luth. in Pſal. 127. they become nothing better then mere Faeces, dreggs and lees.

becauſe by them their portion is fat] By them, that is, by their net and dragge, they think that their condition is well mended, and their meat is fat, opimus & optimus. God (the giver of all this) is not in all their thoughts: but as the moon, the fuller it is of light, the further it getts from the Sun the fountain of her light: ſo deale men with God.
