An Eagle of all the fowls in the air is the swiftest and strongest of wing: An Eagle is the chief of birds. We find in Scripture, swiftness expressed by this similitude of an Eagle (Hab. 1.8.) the Chaldeans who invaded the people of Israel, are thus described, Their horse-men shall come from far, they shall flee as the Eagle that hasteth to eat. See the like instances, Jer. 48. Jer. 49. Ezek. 17. And in Isa. 40.31. They shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as Eagles, &c. noting the exceeding swiftness of the Saints in the ways of God, the speed they shall make in ways of holiness, though the youths faint, and the young men utterly fall, yet they that wait upon the Lord shall mount up with wings as Eagles, that is, they shall be swift and strong.
