mafeo, ibi demum aram idolo facram u

, Damafcus fpoliabitur ciuitati-
bus , 8c non erunt munita vt confu-
giat Ephraim. Videfnc caufam ilico
introdudam , cur dicat Damafcum
ciuitatibus expoliandam ? Non enim
amplius e runt, inquit, fie munita ,
vt profugiat eo Ephraim , qui in Samaria
regnauit. Traducit igitur ora-
tionem ad terram Ægyptiorum. Ac-
cedebanc enim 8c ad eos Ifraelitæ, maxime
verb hi qui habitarunt Hierofo-
lymis, ipforumque confortium 8c fub-
fidium magnopere expetebant, inua-
dentibus maxime Babyloniis. Siqui-
dem voce prophetæ ait : Væ defeen-
dentibus in Ægyptum propter auxi-
lium , qui equis 8c curribus confift
funt. Hoc autem ita fe habuit. Arma
tulit contra terram ludæorum Nabu-
chodonoforus , aliis atque aliis tem-
poribus. In tranlitu autem , omnes ,
vt lie dixerim, orientales vrbes depræ-
datus eft. Cumquc Tyriorum vrbcm

fifus, mare iuflit fieri permeabile, mole

caperetur ciuitas , Babyloniorum
