Isaiah60:8

Ver. 8. What are theſe that fly as a cloud] Which flyeth more ſwiftly than any bird, and covereth the sky far and near. Deus bone, Confertis agm[illegible: 1 letter]nib[illegible: 1 letter]. quam multi catervatim accurrunt! (ſaith the Church here) wonderful! what trooping and treading upon the heeles one of another is here?

And as the doves to their windows] To their columbaries, —Columba Radit iter liquidum, cele[illegible: 1 letter]es neque comm vet auras. whereinto they ſcour and ruſh gregatim, & mira pernicitate, eſpecially if they have young ones there, or elſe are driven by ſome hauke or tempeſt. Gods people are free-hearted, Pſal. 110.3. they ſerve the Lord with cheerfulneſs, Pſal. 100.2. Amor enim alas addit: and well might Plato deſcant upon the word, [non-Latin text not transcribed], whom men call Love, the Immortal call winged.
