John Trapp on Job 27:20

Verſe 20. Terrours take hold on him as waters] Abundantly, ſuddenly, irreſiſtibly; he is even ſwallowed up by them and over-whelmed: as he that is plunged into a deep pit full of water, or that hath the proud ſurges going over his ſoul, Pſal. 124. The miſery of it is, That theſe waters are fiery, and Hell is a lake, but a burning lake, and ſuch alſo as hath eternity to the bottom.

A tempeſt ſtealeth him away in the night] i. e. Furtim, & repontè & horribiliter; Night is it ſelf full of terrour: but much more when a tempeſt is up, and theeves are abroad, &c. Oh! it muſt needs be a terrible time indeed, when death ſhall come with a Writ of Habeas Corpus, and the Devil with another of Habeas animam upon a man at once. Petrus Sutorius ſpeaketh of one that preaching a funeral Sermon on a certain Canon at Paris, and giving him large commendations,Pet Sutor, de vit. Carth. heard at the ſame time a voice in the Church, Mortuus ſum judicatus ſum, damnatus ſum; I am dead, judged, and damned. Oh! let us but think with our ſelves, though it paſs all thought, what a ſcreech the poor foul giveth when hurled into Hell; there to ſuffer ſuch tortures and torments as it ſhall never be able to avoid or abide!
