Job36:14

Verſe 14 They dye in youth] They dye before their time, as Solomon expreſſeth it; then, when it were better for them to do any thing then to dye, for they are killed with death, as Jezebels children were, Rev. 2. Their ſoul dyeth, as the Hebrew here hath it. Their ſoul periſheth among the boyes, their life among that buggerers; as Beza tranſlateth this Text, and thus Paraphraſeth. Therefore as accurſed before God they dye, and are reckoned amongſt thoſe impure young men, whoſe youth being ſpent in all filthineſſe and uncleanneſſe, was ſubject to that moſt abominable luſt which is not to be named. The ſum of all is, ſaith Brentius, Hypocrita peribit turpiter; The Hypocrite ſhall once come to a ſhameful end. And when the fowle ſinner ſhall be damned, what ſhall become of the faire Profeſſour? God will lead ſuch forth with the workers of iniquity, yea, with the worſt kind of ſinners (Sodomites for inſtance) ſhall he puniſh them.
