Make Kerchiefes upon the head, &c,

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Vailes wherewith Women did cover their faces; hereby is meant the flatteries and false Prophesies whereby they vailed and covered up the people in security, that they might sleep securely in utramvis aurem, and not be troubled with any apprehensions of danger; though they sinned grie∣vously, they perswaded them, the Lord was not angry with them, and they fitted their words and prophesies to the con∣dition of every one; they had that fitted the humours of the ancient, of the middle age, of youth, they through their craft and lying Prophesies applyed themselves to the head of every stature; and so pleased all, and lulled them in a generall se∣curity. Junius thinkes these Kerchiefes were, Triumphales pilei, made up into the forme of crownes of Hats, and set upon the heads of the Statues, thereby presaging they should have not onely safety from, but victory over their enemies, which they learned from the practice of Aegyptians and Babylonians; and to this purpose is Deodate, who expounds Vailes of the mour∣ning and calamity of others; now if the Jewes had been con∣querors of the Babylonians, the Babylonians had had cause of covering their faces and mourning for their losse.
