Isaiah29:20

Ver. 20. For the terrible one is brought to nought] This is part-matter of the Juſt mans joy: where obſerve the contrary Characters given to the godly and the wicked: thoſe are ſaid to be lowly, meek, poor in ſpirit: theſe to be tyrants, ſcorners, ſedulous in ſin, catch-poles, incorrigible, ſuch as turn aſide the Juſt, &c. ver. 20.21.

And all that watch for iniquity] Surgunt de nocte latrones: they alſo break their ſleep to deviſe miſchief, Pſal. 36.4. Mic. 2.1. but they ſhould watch for a better purpoſe, Mar. 13.37. as Seneca alſo could ſay, and Pliny, qui vitam mortalium vigiliam eſſe pronunciat; Proaem. nat. Hiſt. who calleth mans life a watch.
