Zechariah6:11
Verſe 11. Make crowns] Two, ſaith Piſcator: one of gold, for the Kingly dignity, another of ſilver for the Prieſthood. Three, ſaith A Lapide, who makes it a type as of Chriſts threefold office, ſo of the Popes triple crown: which later relateth rather to Prides picture drawn by the old Romanes, with three crowns on her head; On the firſt whereof was in ſcribed Tranſcendo: on the ſecond Non obedio: on the third Perturbo. Danaeus thinks it likely by the 14. verſe, that here were foure crowns made according to the number of the foure perſons here mentioned, that brought in the gold and ſilver. Ribera will have it to be all but one crown made of both metalls, and called crowns for the greatneſſe of it;Chald. vertit Facies coronam magnam. as Wiſdomes for ſingular wiſdome, Pro. 1. Behemoth Beaſts, for an huge beaſt Iob 40. The Verb ſingular tihieh ver. 14. ſeemes moſt to favour this conceit of his. But in Hebrew the ſingular is oft put for the plurall.
