Isaiah46:6-7
Ver. 6. They laviſh gold out of the bag] They ſpare for no coſt: Nebuchadnezzar did not in that vaſt Coloſſus, Dan. 3.1. Canutus beſtowed upon a Croſs his whole annual Entrado, or revenue. He alſo gave an hundred talents of ſilver and one of gold, for St. Auſtine arme, which he beſtowed on Coventry as a memorial of his blind zeal. The Lady of Loretto hath her Churches ſo ſtuffed with vowed Preſents and memories as they are fain to hang their Cloyſters and Church-yards with them.
Sands Relat. Ver. 7. They bear him upon their ſhoulders] As the Papiſts breaden god furfuraceum illud numen is, at this day, born about to be adored: whereas the true God beareth up all things by the word of his power, Heb. 1.3.
Yea one ſhall cry unto him] As they did to Baal in Eliah's dayes: and the Cretians to their Jupiter, whom they therefore pictured without eares.
