Psalms83:6
Verſ. 6. The Tabernacles of Edom, and the Iſhmaelites, &c.] Exercitu ex variis gentibus couflato, at odds amongſt themſelves, and yet well agreed for a miſchief to the Church, who might ever well ſay as the Hare in Martiall. In me omnis terrae que avium que mariſ que rapina eſt; Forſitan & caeli, ſi canis astra tenet.
As Dogs fighting and intertearing one another, can give over and joyn together to follow the harmleſſe Hare that paſſeth by them; ſo here! If Manaſſeh be againſt Ephraim, and Ephraim againſt Manaſſeh, yet they will be both againſt Judah.
And the Hagarens] Who came alſo of Hagar, as well as the Iſamaelites; but were a diſtinct people, and would be called Saracens, Saracens in Arabick is Theeves. from Sarah the freewoman: for honour ſake, as if the Promiſes made to Abraham and Sarah had belonged to them. Ptolomy maketh mention of the Saracens, and placeth in Arabia the ſeat of the Hagarens; where there is alſo a City called Agra, of Hagar, likely. Aben-Ezra ſaith they came of Agar, by another husband. The Chaldee calleth them Hungarians.
