Job18:6

Verſ. 6. The light ſhall be dark in his Tabernacle] The glory of his family ſhall be obſcured: he and his ſhall come to utter and unexpected ruine, as Hamans did.

And his candle ſhalt be put out with him] He and his proſperity ſhall dye together: he ſhall go out in a ſnuff, and leave nothing behind him but a deteſtable name. Sicat fetis fugrens vedit, ſit ille moritas hone erepitium cecenit, ſaith Melancthon concerning Echius his laſt piece, De conjugio ficet duum, Or, his candle ſhall be put out above him, ſo the Vulgar Interpreter: the Lamps which gliſtered over head, during the pride and pomp of his Feaſts, ſhal give us more light: or if they give any, it ſhall be but to ſhine upon his Tomb.
