The word notes such fear as is caused by an Earth-quake,1 Isa. ⟨p. 438⟩13.13. Joel 2.10. Psal. 109.23. Nah. 3.17. As importing, that though the horse should hear a crashing or rushing sound, like that of an Earth-quake, when the ground under us opens and shakes, yet he is not moved nor quakes, as Mr. Broughton renders. The horse is rather enraged, than scared like a Grasshopper, by any noise; His spirit is rather whetted and inflamed, than cowed (as we say) and cooled by the strongest alarms; as will further appear in the latter part of this description. Horses are observed sometimes (as also men) quaking before a battle, yet not for fear, but with indignation. Canst thou make him afraid? &c.
