Isaiah3:18

Ver. 18. The Lord will take away the bravery] All the following bravery: for the Prophet as punctually and particularly threatneth all down, as if he had lately ſeen the Ladies Wardrobes in Jeruſalem. And if this vanity of gallantry be ſo blameworthy in a woman, who is naturally [non-Latin text not transcribed] addicted to fine attire, how much more in a man, who ſhall turn Lands into laces, and embroyder his cloak with Woods and Parks, and Lordſhips, lining it, haply, with Obligations, and Bonds, and Statutes?

Of their tinkling ornament, &c.] Here and in the following Verſes we have an Inventory of the Ladies gallantry, ſuch as made the mighty men fall in the War, ver. 25.26. This was the fruit of their twinkling eyes and tinkling Ornaments, Vatablus ſaith that the Spaniſh women did wear bells about their heels when they danced.

And the round tires like the Meon] Lunata monilia. Statius.
