Psalms41:8
8. An evil disease , say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth, he shall rise up no more .
Heb. A word or thing of B[illegible: 1+ letters]lial, (i. e.) Either, 1. Some wicked Calumny which they had raised, and which stuck close to him. Or, 2. His great Wickedness, whereof this is a sign. Or rather, 3. This sore Disease or Mischief, Either sent upon him, in way of Vengeance for his horrid Crimes; Or, such as God useth to inflict upon the Sons of B[illegible: 1+ letters]lial, to shew that he is in Truth such an one, whatsoever he pretends to the contrary.
Seeing God hath begun to punish him, he will make an end of him.
