John Trapp on Isaiah 25:8

Ver. 8. He will ſwallow up death in victory] As the fire ſwalloweth up the fuel: or as Moſes's Serpent ſwallowed up the Sorcerers Serpents. The kiſſes of Chriſts mouth have ſucked out the ſting of death from a juſtified believer: ſo that his heart doth live for ever, as Pſal. 22.6. and if ſo, then in death it ſelf: which made Cyprian receive the ſentence of death with a Deo gratias; as did alſo Bradford, and many more Martyrs, accounting the dayes of their death their Birth-days, and welcoming them accordingly. Hierom inſults over death as diſarmed and devoured, Illius morte tu mortua es: Animaſque in vulnere ponunt. V[illegible: 2 letters]g. devoraſti, & devorata es, &c. Ever ſince Death ran through the veins of Jeſus Chriſt, who is Life Eſſential, it is deſtroyed or ſwallowed up: like as the Bee dieth, when ſhe hath left her ſting in the wound. Hence Saint Paul doth ſo crow over death, and as it were, call it craven, 1 Cor. 15.55, 56, 57.

And the Lord God w[illegible: 1 letter]ll wipe away] A Metaphor from a Mother.

And the rebuke of his people] Or, the reproach; their afflictions and perſecutions, for which the world reproacheth them.
