Ezekiel11:13

Ver. 13. And it came to paſſe that when I propheſied] God heweth men by his Prophets, and ſlayeth them by the words of his mouth, and his Judgements are as the light (or, lightening) that goeth forth, Hoſ. 6.5. Eliſha hath his ſword as well as Jehu and Hazael, 1 Kings 19.17. See Jer. 1.10. 2 Cor. 10.6.

Pelatiah the ſon of Benaiah died] Suddenly, and before his time in Solomons ſenſe, Eccleſ. 7.17. Driven away he was in his iniquity, Prov. 14.32. ſo were Ananias and Sapphira, Magnum eſt ſubito opprimi. Corinthus, Arius, Steven Gardiner, Cardinal Pool, Dick of Dover, as they called the perſecuting Suffragan there, Nightingal Parſon of Bocking, &c. See Prov. 6.14, 15.

Then fell I down upon my face] Out of an holy ſollicitude about Gods Elect, leſt they alſo ſhould have periſhed, as Pelatiah had done: whoſe very name might ſeem ſomewhat ominous, for it ſignifieth The eſcaped one of the Lord: and therefore his ſo ſuddain death might portend deſtruction to the remnant of Iſrael.

And cryed with a loud voice] Suddain or ſingular Judgements put Saints upon humble, earneſt, and argumentative prayer.
