Wicked Men compared to Bulls.
Psal. 22.12. Many Bulls compassed me about, strong Bulls of Bashan.
The Hebrews call the Bull Tor, or Taur; which the Chaldee call Abir, for a strong Ox; the Grecians, Tauros; the Latins, Taurus; the Italians, Tauro; the French, Taureais; the Germans, ein Steir, ein Unuchersteir, das Uncher, ein Mummelsteir, ein Hagen, and ein Bollen; the Illyrians, Vul, and Juneez. By all which several Applications it is evident, that the Name Taurus in Latin is not derived from Tanouros, the stretching out of the Tail, nor from Gauros, signifying proud, but from the Hebrew Tor, which signifieth great, &c.
