Isaiah13:8
Ver. 8. And they ſhall be afraid] Conturbabuntur — Innumerabilibus ſollicitudinibus.
They ſhall be amazed one at another] Amuſed, amazed, amated, as being at their wits ends.
Their faces ſhall be as flames] So Jer. 30.5, 6. a voyce of fear and trembling, every man with his hands on his loines (the poſture of a travelling Woman) and all faces turned into paleneſs. The Prophet here alludeth, ſaith Muſculus, to the face of a Smith at dark night, when he ſtandeth blowing his fite: for his face appears as if it had no blood in it, moſt wan and pa[illegible: 1 letter]e. Or, as others think, to a man afrighted, who firſt looketh pale (the blood running to the heart to relieve it) afterwards, upon the return of the blood to the outward parts, he looketh red, and of a flame-colour.
