Isaiah14:20
Ver. 20. Thou ſhalt not be joyned to them in burial] i. e. To thy Compeers, thy fellow Kings in Funeral-ſtate and pomp. Chriſtians have an honeſt care [non-Latin text not transcribed], with whom they be buried, and where they are laid when dead, that as they lived together and loved together, ſo in their death they may not be divided, 2 Sam. 1.23.
Becauſe thou haſt deſtroyed thy land] Tyrannized over thine own Subjects alſo.The Septuagint read it my land, and my people. So did Saul, Manaſſ[illegible: 1 letter]h, Herod (who butchered about Bethlehem 14000. Infants, as ſome affirm, and his own ſon among the reſt) Tyberius that Tyger, Nero that Lion, Commodus, who was (ſaith Oroſius) cunctis incommodus, Charls 9 of France, &c.
The ſeed of evil-doers ſhall never be renowned] The houſe of the wicked ſhall be ouerthrown: but the Tabernacle of the upright ſhall flouriſh, Prov. 14.11. See the Note there: & notanto hoc parentes, & à ſceleribus ſe abſtinento: ni ſibi velint parcere, ut poſteritati parcant.
