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.
