Lamentations1:4
Ver. 4. The wayes of Zion do mourn] So they ſeem to do becauſe unfrequented, overgrown with graſſe, and out of their kindly order.
Her Prieſts ſigh] For want of employment.
The virgins were afflicted] Or diſcomfited: thoſe that are uſually ſet upon the merry pin, and were wont to make mirth at thoſe feſtivities.
And ſhe is in bitterneſſe] Zion is: but for nothing ſo much,Cultus Dei deſertus eſt, & omnia luctifica. Jun. as for the decay of religion, and the loſſe of holy exerciſes: when this befalleth, all things elſe are mere Ichabods to good people. See Zeph. 3.18.
