Isaiah60:6
Ver. 6. The multitude of camels ſhall cover thee] i. e. Of ſuch peoples as uſually ride upon Camels, viz. the Arabians and the adjacent Countries: theſe ſhall come flocking and flowing to the Church with their precious and pleaſant riches.
The Dromedaries] A leſſer and lower kind of camels, commended for their ſwiftneſſe, Jer. 2.23. (we call ſlow people Drom[illegible: 1 letter]daries by Antiphraſis) and for this, that they can travel four dayes together without water. Bajazet beaten by Tamberlan fled for his life, and might have eſcaped, had he not ſtayed to water his mare by the way, which thereupon went the more heavily, and was overtaken by the Tartars.
They ſhall bring gold and incenſe] This, the ancients interpret of thoſe wiſe men from the Eaſt, Mat. 2.11. which was indeed a ſmall eſſay of this Prophecy. But why ſhould the Papiſts call them the three Kings of Cullen?
And they ſhall ſhew forth the praiſes of the Lord] Gratanti animo. This is more than all their rich gifts. A thankful man is worth his weight in the gold of Ophir.
