Nahum3:11

Verſe 11. Thou alſo ſhalt be drunken] ſc. with the cup of the wine of Gods wrath, Jer. 25.27. thou ſhalt drink, and be drunk, and ſpue, and fall, and riſe no more, becauſe of the ſword which I will ſend amongst you. This is that [non-Latin text not transcribed], dry drunkenneſſe of them that are drunk, but not with wine, Eſay. 51.21. of them that remember their affliction and their miſery, the wormwood and the gall, Lam. 3.19. If the ſaints ſip ſometimes of the top of Gods cup, the wicked ſhall drink deep of it, yea though it be eternity to the bottom.

thou ſhalt be hid] Or, thou ſhalt lurk, either for fear of the enemy (who waſt once above fear, and thine enemies below hope) or, for ſhame of thine undone condition. See Rev, 6.16. Luke 23.30. Hoſ. 10.8. Or, thou ſhalt vaniſh, and be brought to nothing; as if there never had been any ſuch. Confer Obad 16. Nineveh is nothing elſe now, ſaith One who had been there, but a ſepulture of her ſelf, a little town of ſmall trade, where the Patriarch of the Neſtorians keeps his ſeat at the devotion of the Turk.

thou ſhalt alſo ſeek ſtrength becauſe of the enemy] Or, from the enemie: beg help of them, to whom thou wouldeſt once have ſcorned to be beholden: or of them, againſt whom thou haſt profeſſed, and practiſed open hoſtility.
