* the shepherds.
   The shepherds of Israel, signify their kings and princes,
   priests and prophets; the flock, the whole of the people; the
   fat and wool, the tithes and offerings, taxes and imposts:
   these they exacted with great rigour, and even oppressed and
   destroyed the people to enrich themselves; but they bestowed
   no pains to provide for the welfare of the state, or for the
   souls of those entrusted to them.  They knew nothing about
   their flock:  it might be diseased, infirm, bruised, maimed,
   strayed, or lost, for they watched not over them.
