John Trapp on Micah 4:11

Verſe 11. Now alſo many nations are gathered &c.] that is, they ſhall be once gathered, when the Babylonians, who are Lords of the world, ſhall muſter many nations againſt thee. Would any man take the Churches picture ſaith Luther? then let him paint a ſilly poor maid, ſitting in a wood or wilderneſſe, compaſſed about with hungry lions, wolves, bores and beares, and with all manner of cruel and hurtfull beaſts,Loc. com. de perſee. ver. Eccleſ. and in the middeſt of a great many furious men aſſaulting her every moment and minute, for this is her condition in the world.

that ſay, Let her be defiled] ſc: with blood and ſlaughter. Or, Let her be condemned as an hypocrite, Let her be ſtoned as an adultereſſe, ſo the Trent tranſlation. Thus they pretend, as Rabſhakeh did, that they were ſent by God againſt an hypocriticall nation, that had broken their faith with God and men. The like craft and cruelty was uſed in the Pariſian maſſacre, and Gunpowder-plot: God and man; ſaid they (in that blind letter, that brought all to light) have agreed to puniſh the wickedneſſe of this age. Thoſe that would kill a dog, give out that he was mad firſt, ſaith the French Proverb. Whom no man looketh after Jer. 30.17.

and let our eyes look upon Zion] Let us feed our eyes with ſuch a delightfull ſpectacle: and ſay as that cruel Charles the 9. of France did, when he ſaw the ſtreetes ſtrawed with the bodies of the maſſacred Proteſtants, and the rivers dyed with their blood, O pulchrum ſpectaculum! O brave ſight, Or, as the Q. Mother of Scotland, when ſhe beheld the dead carcaſſes of her Lutheran ſubjects, ſaid, that ſhe never ſaw a goodlier peece of Arraz in all her dayes. See the accompliſhment of this prophecy in the Lamentations, Pſalm. 137. and in the book of Nehemiah.
