Isaiah14:8
Ver. 8. Yea the Fir-trees rejoyce at thee] A notable Metaphor, whereby ſenſe and ſpeech is attributed to ſenſleſs creatures: the trees once afraid to be felled, are now freed from that fear. This Tyrant was the terrour of things on earth, and things under earth. Hence men and trees are ſaid to rejoyce, Hell to be in an hurry, &c.
No feller is come up againſt us] As was wont to do, for thy Shipping, Buildings, Warlike Engines, &c.
