Isaiah34:16
Ver. 16. Seek ye out of the book of the Lord] Sciſcitamini ex libro Domini, the Holy Bible: which Biſhop Bonneri Chaplain called in ſcorn of the Martyrs, Your little pretty Gods-book: Another Bohemian blaſphemer for Biblia called it Vitlia: which in the Bohemian language ſignifieth Vomit. But let us ſearch the Scriptures, (and particularly this Prophecy commanded to be written in a book, chap. 30.8.) and compare the truth of theſe predictions with the events.
None ſhall want her mate] Some write of the Aſp, he never wandreth alone without his companion; and none of theſe birds of deſolation want their mate: ſo craft and cruelty do ever go together in the Churches enemies.
