Dedi[illegible: 1 letter]ionis eſt ſ[illegible: 1 letter]gnum. Dare manus eſt fateri ſe victum; victum [illegible: 1 letter]eadere palmas Auſoniividere. Virg. Ver. 15. Shout againſt her round about] As they did once at Jericho; ſhe ſhall come down aſſuredly.
She hath given her hand] i. e. She hath yeilded and cryed quarter: add hereunto, that two Princes of Babylon being diſpleaſed by Baltaſhar, ſent for Cyrus to take the City, and ſhewed him how he might beſt do it. This was giving the hand ſaith Calvin.
