John Trapp on Isaiah 47:8

Ver. 8. Thou that art given to pleaſure] Delicatula; It is not good to take pleaſure in pleaſure, no not to go as far here as we may: verecunda ſunt omnia initia peccati, ſin ſeemeth modeſtat firſt, &c.

Thou faiſt in thine heart, I am] ſc. the Lady of the world. Heathen Rome was called by the Heathens Terarum dea gentiumque. Rome Papal ſaith as much, Rev. 17.4.

And none elſe beſides me] i. e. None worth ſpeaking off. The Jeſuites brag in like ſort of their tranſcendent learning, and profeſſe skil beyond the periphery of poſſible knowledge.

I ſhall not ſit as a widdow] i. e. Be bereft of my Monarchy, which is as it were my husband.

Neither ſhall I know the loſſe of children] I ſhall not ceaſe to ſubdue Countries and Kingdoms, which are added unto me as ſo many children.
