Isaiah19:12
Ver. 12. Where are they? where are thy wiſe men?] q. d. Vile latens virtus: if they have that wiſdom they pretend to, let them predict thy calamities, and help to prevent them. Mihi hominum prudentia ſimilis videtur talparum labori non ſine dexteritate ſub terra fodientium, Gaſp. Ens. ſed ad lumen ſolis coecutienttium. The worlds Wizzards are like children alwayes ſtanding on their heads, and ſhaking their heels againſt Heaven.
