John Trapp on Isaiah 11:7

Ver. 7. And the Cow and the Bear ſhall feed] An Allegorical deſcription of greateſt confidence and innocence, ſaith Junius; Bears are angry and vindictive creatures; ſo are the beſt by nature, Tit. 3.3. till cicurated and manſuefied by Gods diſtinguiſhing Grace. As for thoſe ſemiperfectae vertutis homines (as an Ancient calleth them) Temporaries and Hypocrites, who do only the outward works of duty, without the inward principle, it may be ſaid of them as the civil Law doth of thoſe mixt beaſts, Elephants, Camels, &c. operam praeſtant, natura fera eſt, they do the work of tame beaſts, yet have the nature of wild ones.

Their yong ones ſhall lie down together] Heb. their children, i e. ſay ſome, children after Parents ſhall do thus, and their children after them from age to age:Arcularius. not revolting any more to barbariſm.

And the Lyon ſhall eat ſtraw] Not men, and other ſenſitive creatures, as now.C[illegible: 1 letter]nverſi non vivent ex rapto: ſed legitime partis reculis contenti erunt. This (ſay the Chiliaſts after ſome Rabbins) ſhall be literally fulfilled in that golden Age of Chriſts perſonal Reign upon earth: A meer fancy, firſt vented by Papias, a man of ſome holineſs, but ingenii pertenuis, of very little judgement, ſaith Euſebius.
