They bring on themselves swift destruction.] This is the punishment. The•• are plagues enow, that wound the flesh, and fetch blood of the soul, without perishing; but this the utter ruin, Destruction. But yet this may be far off, and happily doth wait the succession of ages, and intervention of many years: and when it cometh, it shall give warning of the approach, like a Porpoise before • storm: nay, it comes on a sudden, it is Swift destruction. But who shall inflict this, that they may fortify themselves against it? Themselves: here need no e• gines, no enemies, no invasions; [Greek or Hebrew], Superinducunt sibi, Themselves bring it, or, They bring it on themselves. So that their punishment is described, by the Autho••, Measure, and Manner. The Author, Themselves: the measure, no less than Destruction: the manner, Swift and sudden.
