Lamentations1:13

Ver. 13. Form above hath he ſent fire into my bones] Like as when the marrow and natural moiſture is dryed up by a violent fever: or rather, as when the ſolid parts of bodies below are lightening-ſtruk from above, and ſcorcht by theſe ſulphureous flames that pierce unto them.

And it prevailed againſt them] Or. And he ruled it, viz. the fire: i. e. he directed and diſpoſed it.

He hath ſpred a net for my feet] And ſo hamperd me an unruly creature, ut conſtricta fuerim in ruinam, that there is no eſcaping from him: yea the more I ſtrive to get out, the faſter I ſtick.

He hath turned me back] Laid me on my back.

He hath made me deſolate and faint] My calamities come thick, one in the neck of another; words are too weak to utter them: and yet here is very great copy and variety of words: ſo that Paſchaſius ſaith this book may well be called the Lamentations of Lamentations: like as Solomon's Song is called for its excellenty The Song of Songs.
