1The word here translated, Lyon, it is not that ordinary word that is for a Lyon, but Shacal, that signifies a fierce Lyon: And so you have it in Joh, 4.10. the roaring of the Lyon, and the voice of the fierce Lyon, Shacal. So that God threateneth here to be a fierce Lyon. This creature is very fierce, and therefore Gesner in his History of living creatures saith, That nature hath so ordered it that because the Lyon is so fierce of himself, that always he hath a kind of a quartan fever or ague upon him to mitigate or refresh his fierceness. And it were well with many if it were so with them. Many that are fierce and of Lyon-like spirits, for their lusts, and for the satisfying of their own humours, but are sheepish enough for the cause of God.
