John Trapp on Psalms 22:13

Verſ. 13. They gaped upon mee with their mouths] As if they would have ſwallowed mee up at a bit, like ſo many Lycanthropi, or ſavage Canniballs.

As a ravening and a roaring Lyon] Rapiens & rugiens Le[illegible: 1 letter], licet non ſit mos Boum rapere; Bulls do not uſe to raven though they roar;Kimchi. but the malignities of all fierce and fell Creatures are to bee found in cruell perſecutors. 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, Bulls,Loc. cum de Perſec. Boares and Beares, and with all manner of cruell and hurtfull beaſts, and in the midſt of a great many furious men, or rather Monſters, aſſaulting her every moment and minute; for this is her condition in the World.
