John Trapp on Isaiah 28:18

Ver. 18. And your covenant with death ſhall be diſannulled] See ver. 15.They made a covenant with death and hell; but death and hell make no covenant with them. God ſhall ſhoot at ſuch with an arrow ſuddenly, Pſal. 64.7. and when they ſhall ſay peace and ſafety, then ſhall ſuddain deſtruction come upon them, as travail upon a woman with child, and they ſhall not eſcape, 1 Theſ 5.3. Thus it befell the rich fool. Luk 12. Alexander the great, whom his paraſites flattered into a fond conceit of an immortality: and Pope Sylveſter the ſecond, who dealt with the Devil for the Popedom, and was perſwaded by him, that he ſhould never dye till he ſang Maſs in Jeruſalem: but when he ſaw how he was cheated, and that he muſt dye, he cryed out, Ah miſer aetern[illegible: 1 letter]s vado damnatus ad ignes.
