Farther, The words translated, The multitude of the City, 1may be rendered, The abundance or plenty of the City. If there be abundance any where, it is in Cities; and therefore heaven is called a City, because of the great abundance of all good there, and all in God. Thus the word is rendered (Psal. 37.16.) A little that a righteous man hath, is better than the riches of many wicked; that is, than all their large sums of money, of gold and silver, as also, than their large inheritances of houses and Lands. The word may bear that sense in the Text, and 'tis a good sense; the wild Ass scorns the abundance of the City, he can content himself with the barren Land; he cares not though he fare hard, so he may live free from hard labour; he scorneth, both the multitude and plenty of the City; Neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.
