John Trapp on Psalms 118:17

Verſ. 17 I ſhall not dye, but live] This hee was well aſſured of by Faith: as was alſo the Church in Habbakkuk, chap. 1.12. Art not thou from everlaſting, O Lord my God, mine boly One? wee ſhall not dye. Learned Keckerman lying on his death bed, and deſirous (if it had ſo pleaſed God) to have lived a while longer for the finiſhing of thoſe excellent peeces hee had in hand, made uſe of theſe words of the Pſalmiſt, I ſhall not dye, but live, and declare the works of the Lord (hee was then upon his ſyſtem of naturall Philoſophy) but God had otherwiſe appointed it, and hee ſubmitted.
