his memory, Verse 12. let there be none to extend mercy unto him, neither any to favour his fatherless children. There's another subtraction; a denial of all pity to him and his, Verse 7. Let his prayer become sin: there's another subtraction; no audience from heaven, Verse 8. Let another take his office, there's a subtraction of his place. Let his days be few, there's a subtraction of his life, Psal. 69.28. Let him be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous; there's the last, the subtraction of his soul. This is a fearful arithmetic: if the wicked add sins, God will add plagues.^x Add iniquity unto their iniquity, and let them not come into thy righteousness, Rev. 22.18. God shall add unto them the plagues written in the book. If they subtract from others their rights, God shall subtract from them his mercies.
