John Trapp on Lamentations 3:6

Ver. 6. He hath ſet me in dark places] Dungeons haply which are a kind of graves, and where poor priſoners lye as forgotten. The Perſians called their priſons [non-Latin text not transcribed] oblivions: And Ezekiel ſaith that Babylon was to the Jews as a grave, where they lay for dead, till thoſe dead bones lived again, chap. 37.

As they that be dead of old] Free among the dead, and forgotten. It may be ſaid of a Saint in ſome caſes, that Vivit, & eſt vitae neſcius ipſe ſua.
