Psalms79:3

Verſ. 3. Their blood have they ſhed like water] They made no more reckoning of it, than of ditch-water; and were ready to ſay as Hannibal did when he ſaw a ditch full of mens blood, O formoſum spectacutum! O beautifull ſight!Contemptim vel abjecte.

And there was none to bury them] Either none to bury them at all;Immaniatis eſt Scythicae non ſepelir[illegible: 1 letter] mortuos. Sen. ad Ma[illegible: 1 letter]tiam. which the Jews accounted worſe than death, Eccleſ. 6. and the Romans extreme cruelty: Or none to bury them, cum ritibus with the accuſtomed rites and ceremonies, as Jacob was buried, Gen. 50. but not Jeconiah, Jer. 22.18.
