Isaiah47:3
Ver. 3. The nakedneſſe ſhall be uncovered] Thou ſhalt be ſtript, and worſe dealt with: the ordinary lot of women-priſoners. At the ſack of Magdeburg by Monſieur Tilly, Ladies, Gentlewomen, and others, like beaſts and dogs, being naked and coupled together, were led into the woods, and there raviſhed. Such as reſiſted, the Souldiers ſtript naked, whipped them, cropt their ears, and ſo ſent them home again.
I will not meet the as a man] But as a Lion rather:Abſque omni humanitatis contemperatione. Scult. Tractabo te pro divina potentia mea. Piſcat. thou ſhalt have vengeance without mixture of mercy (See 2 Sam. 7.24.) Iſa. 13.6. & 27.7, 8, Hoſ. 5.14.) Men uſe ſometimes to deal favourably with women: but they ſhall not do ſo with thee.
