John Trapp on Revelation 20:9

Verſe 9. And they went up] As a ſloud, Ezek. 8.9, 16.

And compaſſed] As reſolved that none ſhould eſcape them, Pſ. 118.11, 12. 2 King. 6.14, 15. & 35.1.

The camp of the Saints] The Church militant.

And the beloved City] The new Jeruſalem, Cap. 21.2. [non-Latin text not transcribed]. The dearly beloved of Gods ſoul, Jer. 12.7. or, Gods dearly beloved ſoul, as the Septuagint render it. For preſent, the Turk is the bridle that holds in the Pope with all his followers, from any univerſall proceeding againſt the Proteſtants: who herein are greatly advantaged above them, in that their oppoſites lie between them and the Turk: or in that their countreys coaſting ſo much as they do toward the North (as Denmark, Swethland, &c.) are out of his way,Spec Eur[illegible: 1 letter]p. and no part of his preſent aim. Italy is the mark he ſhoots at. And when once he ſhall riſe againſt the true Church, fire from heaven ſhall devour him.
