They shall bind themselves in their two furrows.

That is,* 1.1 They shall Covenant together. When the e∣nemy comes upon them then they shal Covenant together and joyn together, as Oxen that are yok'd together, and Judah and Israel shall joyn together, and they shall be in their furrows,* 1.2 in their trenches, as in reference to us: that when the people are gathered together, England and Scot∣land shall bind themselves together, and lie together in their several Trenches. So I find others take it.

But rather from the chief and genuine scope, I suppose the meaning is this, That they shall be brought into mise∣rable bondage, they shall be like Oxen: and so saith one Interpreter upon the place, When you see Oxen yok'd to∣gether then be put in mind of the yoke of the enemies; you live daintily and bravely now, but when God shall let out the enemies upon you, you shall serve as slaves, yea, as beasts.
