John Trapp on Isaiah 30:16

Ver. 16. But ye ſaid, No] we will not return or reſt. This is a golden rule of life, In ſilentio & ſpe fortitudo veſtra: but theſe refractaries would none of it: they knew a better way to work then all that came to. Politicians are like tumblers, that have their heads on the earth, and their heels againſt heaven. Croſs-gtain'd they are for moſt part to all good.

For we will flee upon horſes] whereof Egypt was full, and for which it was famous of old, and ſo is yet, for the Mamalukes horſes eſpecially.

Therefore ſhall ye flie] but in another ſenſe, ſc. fuſi, fugati que ab hoſte, with the enemy at your heels.
