Lamentations5:12

Ver. 12. Princes are hanged up by the hand] Made to dye a dogs death,Calvin. and (as ſome will have it) by their own hands, [non-Latin text not transcribed].

The faces of the Elders were not honoured] Magna fuit quondam capitis reverentia cani: Inque ſuo precio ruga ſenilis erat.Ovid. But now it was otherwiſe with the Jewiſh Elders, who haply were not worthy of their years, as we ſay: like as the Princes had done wickedly with both hands earneſtly, and were therfore not undeſervedly hanged up by the hand: But if Quakers amongſt us might have their way, our families (ſaith One) would ſoon be like the cabbins of the Leſtringonians in Sicily, where every body was at liberty, and none regarded or reverenced their Seniours or Superiours.
