Isaiah7:6
Ver. 6. Let us go up againſt Judah and vex it] So they had done ſeverally, and ſo they think much more to do joyntly. Sed aliter Deo viſum eſt. There is a Council in Heaven that daſheth the mould of all contrary Counſels upon earth, as Pſalm 2.4.
And let us make a breach therein for us] Or, let us divide it, and ſhare it betwixt us, or ſet a King over it that may be a vaſſal to us both. Thus the Pope gave away England Primo occupaturo, to him that ſhould firſt take it in Henry the eighths dayes: but he reckoned without his Hoſt, as they ſay.
Even the ſon of Tabeel] A Syrian, likely, as Tabrimmon, 1 King. 15.18. a good Rimmonite, 2 King 5.18. So Tabeel a good God. Rimmon was the Syrians God. The Chaldee expoundeth it Good or Right for us.
