Job20:7

Verſe 7. Yet he ſhall periſh for ever like his own dung.] Then the which nothing is more filthy an deteſtable. See this exemplified in Herod, Haman, Boniface the Eight, bloody Bonner buried in a muck-hil, &c. The word rendred dung, hath its denomination from rowling, becauſe it is rolled out of doores, and ſwept out of ſight: Many inſtances hereof might be given in the priſtine and moderne Perſecutors, puniſhed with ignominious and diſgraceful ends. Siſera and Jabin periſhed at Endor, and became as dung for the earth, Pſal. 83.10. Jehorans died undeſired. Julian the Apoſtate abhorred. Iſai. 14.23 God hath for ſuch, a Beeſome of Deſtruction.

They which have ſeen him Where is he?] They which have ſeen him with wonder, ſhall now ſee him with horrour, when they ſee him at ſuch an under, ſuch an ebbe, ſuch a dead low water. See this exemplified in that proud Caldean, Iſai. 14.4, 12, 16.

Tam ſubito caſu, quae valuere, ruunt.
