John Trapp on Job 17:14

Verſe 14. I have ſaid to corruption, Thou art my father] See how he beſpeaks corruption and the wormes, Ac ſijam juris illorum, & Domeſticus eſſet as if he were of family with them, and neareſt of kin to them; ſo doth he court them, as it were, that they might be willing to receive him: ſhewing withal how willing himſelf was to dye; for whether do men in a ſtrange Country, and in miſery, deſire rather to go, then to the houſe of their parents? Here alſo Job declareth what will be the end of all men, and what ſhall be their kindred in the grave. Of corruption we came (for what elſe is the ſeed and blood of generation?) to corruption alſo we go, as ſons thereof; and Pulvu & Putredo we ſalute for ſiſters, that ſhall be moſt tender of us, and attendant upon us. Why then ſhould any boaſt of high kindred? To the pit I cry, O father. O ſiſter; O mother to the worm, ſo Broughton rendreth it Why ſhould any boaſt of bodily beauty, ſince corruption will ſhortly ſeize upon the faireſt face, which is now but putrefaction and wormes, once removed, and to the ſame muſt ſuddenly move back again. Mihi experto credite, ſaith Auſtin, Believe me who have made trial of it? Open a grave, and upon the dead mans head you ſhall find toads leaping begotten of his braines; upon his loynes Serpents crawling, begotten of his raines;Serm. 48. ad frat. in crem. in his belly wormes abounding, ariſing out of his entrailes. Behold what now we are, and what we ſhortly ſhall be; Behold the Original and filthineſs of ſin, &c.
