Vatab. thebreath thall no tonnes be out of their bodyes,but their bodyes than be thruit into the grave. Men who dye in honour,are buryed with deliberation ; but all men,even neerea friendsand relations íhall be to weary of thefe, that the,) hall hafen, yea hurry their carkaffes to the earth.So tobe buried in death is to beburied even while dying, or before death hash, made a perfet% conqueft over them,implying that all are gild to be ridof'them.So Mr.Brough- ton leaves to made; fond yobs text, tranflating it thus ; His rem- scant (hall be buryed asfool as theyare dead. Which hegloffeth thus ; A, condom, edHaves prefently ; Accordingto this interpre- tation, the fence is, they (hall be brought to the grave without any comfy attendance, and (hall have an ignoble burial!. The dead bodges of great men arekept fomecimes a week,ometimes a month, yea fomecimes feverall months above ground, that they May be buried at laff with greater folemnicy. But there no fooner deadbut buried, away with them. The particleBetb,ufed here in the text, (hews fuch a fuddenncffe of one thing done after ano- ther,as if there came no timebetween, muchletíc any confiders- ble time.So °cisrendred in that famous Prophefie of the kingdom of Chuif in and vairh the Saints (Dan. 2.41,)And in the dayet of thole Kings (hall the Godof Heaven fee up a kingdom wbcb fhallne ver be deflroyed.
