Psalms55:10
Verſ. 10. Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof] The ruffianly ſouldiers do, as in garriſons is uſuall: Or Violence and Strife do; ſo that in no place are good men in ſafety, from rapines and robberies.
Miſchief alſo and ſorrow are in the midſt of it] What work may be thought make the common ſouldiers, among the women eſpecially, when Abſolom openly defileth his Fathers concubines in the ſight of all Iſrael, 2 Sam. 16.22? when Tilly took Magdeburg in the late German wars, beſides many other outrages, the Ladies, Gentlewomen, and others, like beaſts and dogs they yoked and coupled together, leading them into the woods to raviſh them. Such as reſiſted they ſtripped naked, whipt them, cropt their ears, and ſo ſent them home again.
