John Trapp on Job 15:24

Verſe 24. Trouble and anguiſh ſhall make him afraid] Or, Scare him, not only out of his comforts, Mentis inops moritur. Epiſt. Hiſt. Gal. Plut. but out of his wits and ſenſes too, as it did Charles the great Cardinal of Lorrain. See Deut. 28.34. Tullus Hoſtilius the third King of Romans deriding the Religion of his Predeceſſour Numa, as that which did emaſculate mens minds, was afterwards ſo terrified, that he ſet up and worſhipped two new gods; viz Pavorem & Pallorem, Trouble and anguiſh, which he had perpetually preſent with him, as Lactantius reporteth. What a pitiful agony Vitellius the Emperor was in, [non-Latin text not transcribed] when Veſpaſians Army marched toward Rome, is notably ſet forth by Dio in his life. Not long after that at the ſack of Jeruſalem, ſome Jewes killed themſelves, left they ſhould fall into the hands of Veſpaſians ſouldiers.

Hic rego; non furor eſt, ne moriare, mori?

They ſhall prevail againſt him:] Or, begirt him as a King is inviron'd in peace, by his Guard, in War by his Army. Or, They ſhall deſtroy him, as a King ready to the battle doth his enemies forces, which he routeth and ruineth. Fear hath a deadly force upon feeble ſpirits; neither is it nay wonder that they ring their bells backward, when things begin once to be on fire.
