Isaiah14:13
Ver. 13. For thou haſt ſaid in thine heart] The natural heart is a Palace of Satanical pride: it is like unto the Table of Adonibezek, at which he ſat in a Chair of State, and made others, even Kings, to eat meat like dogs, under his feet, with their thumbs cut off.
Oecolamp. I will aſcend into Heaven] Vide quomodo non ſatientur honore ſuperbi. Ambition as the Crocodile, grows is long as it lives, and is never ſatisfied.
Above the ſtars of God] i. e. Above all the Kings of the earth, or above the Saints, Rev. 12.1. thoſe earthly Angels.
I will ſit alſo upon the Mount of the Congregation] I will ſit upon the skirts of Gods Church: yea I will ſet my Throne upon Gods Throne, and take up his room. See the like madneſs in Pharaoh, Ezek. 29.3. that proud Prince of Tyre, Ezek. 22.28. Antiochus ſirnamed [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Herod, Act. 12. Caligula, Choſroes, Diocletian, Antichriſt, of whom and his practiſes One cryes out, O Lucifer out-devil'd, &c. 2 Theſſ. 2.4. One of the Popes Paraſites Valladerius ſaith of Paul the fifth, that he was a God, lived familiarly with the Godhead, heard Predeſtination it ſelf whiſpering to him, had a place to ſit in Council with the moſt bleſſed Trinity, &c.
In the ſides of the North] In Mount Moriah, where the Temple ſtood.
