John Trapp on Proverbs 30:27

Verſ. 27. The Locuſts have no King] They are all belly, which is joyned to their mouthes, and endeth at their tayls: hence they make ſuch havock where they come in thoſe Eaſtern-countries. See Joel 2. where they are called Gods great army. For though they have no King to command them, yet they goe forth by bands, and march all in a company, to teach men concord and combination in lawful affairs and attempts. For, Conjuncti pollent etiam vehementer inertes.

Thoſe Locuſts in the Revelation (whereby is meant the Popiſh Clergie) have their King Ahaddon, the Pope, Revel. 9.11. to whom they appeal from their lawful Soveraign; yea the rebellion of a Clergie-man againſt his Prince, is not treaſon ſaith Sa the Jeſuite, quia non eſt Principi ſubjectus, becauſe he is the Popes ſubject. And when the Engliſh Clergie whipped King Henry the ſecond for a Penance for Beckets death, one of the Popes Legats ſaid unto him, Domine, noli minari, &c. Sir, never threaten us,Jacob. Revin. de vit. Pontif. for wee fear no menaces of men, as being of ſuch a Court as uſeth to command Kings and Emperours.
