Verſe 9. The grin ſhall take him by the heel] Or, He ſhal lay hold on the grin with his heel. ſo Mercer readeth it: that is, he fooliſhly runs upon his own ruine, he periſheth by his own overſight.

And the Robber ſhall prevail againſt him] Horridi ſitibundi, the ſhaghaired Ruffians that have waſted their own eſtates, and now thirſt after other mens. Broughton readeth it, The ſavage ſhall lay hold on him. So that either by ſecret contrivance, or open violence he ſhall be undone.
