Isaiah60:14-15

Ver. 14. The ſons alſo of them that afflicted thee] When once they ſhall return and diſcern betwixt the righteous and the wicked, as Mal. 3.18. there ſhall be a ſtrange alteration wrought in them as was in Paul, Cyprian, Vergerius, Latimer, others.

Shall bow themſelves at the ſoales of thy feet] Such was the cuſtome of the Eaſterlings: And this, the Popiſh writers ſay, is fulfilled in their Vice-god; as we may in the worſt ſenſe beſt call him. The firſt that held forth his feet to be kiſſed was Diocleſian the Tyrant.

Eutrop.Ver. 15. Whereas thou hast been forſaken and hated] The Primitive Chriſtians ſuffered Odio humani generis, Lib. 15. ſaith Tacitus, through the general hatred conceived againſt them: and non tam crimen quam nomen puniebatur, ſaith Another, their very name was odious.

I will make thee an eternal excellency] Here in part: but hereafter, in all perfection. God ſo favoured the firſt orthodox Chriſtian Emperours, ut cum illorum pietate, Dei liberalitas certare videretur, That Gods liberality might ſeem to ſtrive with their piety.
