Isaiah33:12
Ver. 12. And the people ſhall be as the burning of lime] As hard chalk-ſtones which when burnt to make lime, crumble to crattle.
As thorns cut up] Sear-thornes, that crackle under a pot, and are ſoon extinct. The Hebrews tell us, that the Aſſyrian Souldiers were burnt by the Angel with a ſecret fire: that is, with the peſtilence as Beroſus cited by Joſephus witneſſeth: and our Prophet hinteth as much in many paſſages. Lib. 10. cap. 1.
