Isaiah8:3

Ver. 3. And I went unto the Propheteſs] Prophets wives were anciently called Propheteſſes; like as Biſhops wives (ſaith à Lapide the Jeſuit) were alſo called Biſhoppeſſes, Presbyters wives Presbytereſſes, Deacons wives Deaconeſſes: Jeſuits have ſtill their Jeſuiteſſes, as Majors their Majoreſſes, &c.

Maber-ſhalal-haſh-baz] q. d. Make haſte, come away to ſo rich a booty, to the rifling and ruinating of theſe two potent and opulent Kingdoms. God hereby ſeemeth to beſpeak the Aſſyrian as Cicero once did his friend, Si dormis, expergiſcere: ſi ſtas, ingredere: ſi ingrederis, curre: ſi curris, advola, &c. and at the calling of this child by his name, the prediction was remembred, and the thing aſcertained.
