John Trapp on Job 20:13

Verſe 13. Though he ſpa[illegible: 2 letters] it, and forſake it not.] This is the ſame in ſenſe with the former verſe, and the ſecond time repeated, that Job might know, that he was the man here meant; Ʋt qui in malis artibus ſiti placaiſſet, ſaith Merlin, as one who took pleaſure in raiſing himſelf upon anothers ruines. And another good Note the ſame Author giveth here, viz. That as any thing is more ſweet and delectable to the ſenſual appetite, ſo much the more ſhould we ſuſpect it, as fearing a ſnare laid for us therein, by that old man-ſlayer. Vipera latet in veprecula. Diabolus capite blanditur, ventre oblictat, [illegible: 1 word] light. Divorce the fleſh from the divel, and then there is no no great danger.

But keeps is ſtill within his mouth] And will not be drawn to ſpet it out by confeſſion, and to carry it through the dung-port of his mouth into the brook Kedro[illegible: 1 letter], which was the Town-ditch. Satan knowes there is no way to purge the ſick ſoul but upwards. He therefore laboureth to hold his lips cloſe, that the ſoul may not diſburden it ſelf, and God come in with his Cordi[illegible: 1 letter]ls of comfort. See the Note on the former verſe.
