Psalms49:17
Verſ. 17. For when he dyeth he ſhall carry nothing away] Nothing but a Shrowd, as that great Emperour cauſed to be proclamed at his Funeral. He was a fool that on his Death-bed clapt a peece of Gold into his mouth, and ſaid, Some wiſer than ſome; I will take this with me. See Job 1.21. 1 Tim. 6.7. with the Notes there.
His glory ſhall not deſcend after him] No, nor be able to breath one cold blaſt up-on him, when he is burning in Hell. O that wicked rich men would think of this, before the cold Grave hold their bodies, and hot Hell hold their ſouls.
