Job 5. 12. Sometimes the word is taken in a good sense, Prov. 1. 4. & 8. 12. & 22. 3. but most commonly in a bad sense, for such as use their wisdom to hurt others, Gen. 3. 1.

Crane]
Hereof mention is made, Isa. 38. 14. where it's said to chatter, and Jer. 8. 7. to observe the time of its coming. It's easily tamed, and taught to leap, dance, &c. It's most tender of its young ones, loveth both to feed and fly in company of its own kinde. In their flying they use this order; The most experienced amongst them flyeth foremost, as their Captain: In the middle follow the young and lesse skilful; in the rear, such as are strong and skilfull: If their Leader wax weary or hoarse, another takes his place. They fly high, that they may see the place whither they fly; when they fly swiftly, it's to avoid a tempest, and in their flying they make a noise, that they may not stray one from another. In the night some of them watch by turns, holding little stones in one of their feet, that they may be kept awake. When secking warmer places, they fly over the sea, they fly in a tryangular form. In summer they return to the places which they left in winter. To prevent the danger of Eagles, they take little stones in their mouths, that they may make no noise. When they fly not in order, they foresee a tempest. If any of their company be wanting, by making a continual noise, they recal them. The juyce of the vine is deadly unto them. They sometimes fight together, and will rather become a prey to the Hunters, then agree one with another. But others say, that though at some time they are eager in fight, yet they are quickly reconciled.
Crashing]

Crowning]
Isa. 23. 8. or, the crowned; namely, the royal City, which hath the title of a kingdom. Ezek. 28. 2, 12. Deod. Or, that She-crowner; to wit, that City which not only assumed the title of a … Queen but also crowned all her inhabitants and merchants, with joyes and honour, making many of them as Princes. D. Annot.
So is Tyre termed either as a stately Princess, (being a royal City, …. 25. 22. & 27. 3.) wearing a goodly rich Crown, Ezek. 27. 3. & 28. 12, — 14. or, as one that crowneth her followers, and favorites, her merchants, and inhabitants, with wealth and state, Ezek. 27. 33. Annot.
… crucifie]
;;To fasten one to the Cross, there to languish till death. Mat. 27. 35. Crucified him.
;;2. To mortifie or kill sinful lusts by little and little, Gal. 5. 24. Have crucified the flesh.
;;3. To lay open Christ unto the scorn and mock of the world. Heb. 6. 6. Crucifie Christ.
;;4. To despise the world, and to be despised and set at nought by the world, Gal. 6. 14.
It's put also for dead, or subdued, to make to die, Rom. 6. 6. Offer as a sacrifice for sin, 1 Cor. 1. 13, 23. Feel the virtue of Christ crucified, Gal. 2. 20.
… be crucified among you]
;;Christ crucified, by the most plain and evident preching of Paul, to be in such sort set forth to the Galathians, as if they had seen him die among them, they could not have had a more lively portraiture or image of his death. After this plain and clear sort is Christ his passion represented in the Sacrament of the Supper, Gal. 3. 1. Before whose eyes Jesus hath been crucified among you. Therefore no such obscurity and hardness is to be found in the writings of holy Scriptures, as Romanists pretend: neither ought Papists to trouble themselves with Crucifixes to remember Christ, or profane persons to scorn plain and simple preaching, without wisdom of words.
… be crucified with Christ]
;;To obtain this by faith in Christ, that, that death of his Cross which hath merited reconciliation, should be effectual to mortifie and subdue the concupiscences of the flesh. Gal. 2. 20. I am crucified with Christ.
;;A Christian by earnest and devout meditation of the death of the Son of God, joyned with the curse of God, groweth unto an inward true loathing of those his sins which were so dearly ransomed, with care and watchfulness not to offend so gracious a Saviour; which is our being crucified with Christ.
Crucified]
;;Slain, and put cruelly to death, either by the death of the Cross, or any other kinde of violent death. Rev. 11. 8. Where our Lord also was crucified. Christ our Lord was not slain at Rome (whereof this Text speaks, by the figure of Sodom and Aegypt) otherwise then in his members, according to that which is said, Act. 9. 5. Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? Yet Christ was sentenced to death by a Romane Governour, and to a kind of death peculiar to the Romanes.
In respect of the place, our Lord Jesus was crucified at Jerusalem, but if we respect the power and authority that put him to death, he was crucified at Rome, for Christ was put to death by a Romane Judge, by Romane lawes, by Romane authority, by a kind of death proper only to the Romanes, and in a place which then was within the Romane Empire. Leigh's Annot.
