Ezekiel28:8
8 They shall bring thee down to the pit , and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
These strangers shall s[illegible: 1 letter]ay thee, which is a blemish to the honour of a King thus to be brought to the Pit.
A usual periphrasis of Death and the Grave.
In the plural, because of the many Terrors, Dangers, and Wounds such mee[illegible: 1 letter] with, the successive deaths s[illegible: 1 letter]ain, drowned, eat of fish, cast upon shoar, and become meat to Sea Fowl.
If literally understood, Thou shalt dye as other common Marriners, and be cast overboard, if figuratively; Seas for great distresses, then amidst multitude of deep distresses thou shalt meet with more than one death, be often dying.
