We have perused the Map to the end of the Inscription, the Description stands next to our speech; where we have an Edomite standing on Mount Seir and calling to the Watchman, with the voice of derision, What he saw in the night, &c. a proud Edomite securing himself the strength of his own arms, deriding the Prophet of God, which came against him with the burden of Wars: this is the sense I fasten on. I have read other Expositions, as if it was a question of fear: I approve and dwell on the former: from the persuasion then of immunity, impunity, and safe standing out of the reach of Earth,¹ of Hell, of Heaven, proceeds this Question. Edom hath shaken off the yoke of Israel, and begins to crown his days with the Rose buds of Peace, and not to fear the Sword of Egypt, nor Ashur, nor Gods himself in Heaven: their conceit was (though feignedly) as strong of this Mount Seir, as the promise of God was really true to Mount Zion, never to be moved, though the battlements of Heaven shot Thunder, and the pillars of the Earth quaked.
