Isaiah47:15
Ver. 15. Thus ſhall they be unto thee with whom thou haſt laboured] But all in vain, viz. with thy Wizzards and Diviners, thoſe deceivers of the people,Cic de divinat. lib. 2. concerning whom Cato once ſaid, Poteſt Augur Augurem videre & non ridere? Can thoſe fellows look one on another, and not laugh when they conſider how they cozen people, and cheat them of their moneys?Cic. orat. 4. in Ver. hence they are called merchants alſo in the next words, as ſome think, qui non tam coeli rationem quam coelati argenti ducunt. Such money-Merchants hath myſtical Babylon alſo not a few, Rev. 18.11. Non deſunt Antichriſto ſui Augures & malefici, ſaith Oecolampadius; Antichriſt hath thoſe abroad that trade with him, and for him: theſe ſhall be caſt alive with him into the burning lake, Rev. 19.20. and though they wander, yet not ſo wide as to miſſe of hell.
