6 Lastly, when the Lord God hath gone thus far with the children of men that are abominable, he will not here rest, so filthy & vile is Pride and sin in his sight: but their memorial shall perish with them, their posterity shall be cut off, and their name shall be clean put out. Therefore saith the Prophet David, 1The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. And Eliphash saith in the book of Job of such men. Their branch shall not be green, 2but shall be cut off before his day, God shall destroy him, &c. and the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate.

Therfore saith the Prophet Dauid, 1The face of the Lorde is against them that do euil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. And Eliphash saith in the booke of Iob of such men. Their braunch shall not be green, 2but shall be cut off before his day, God shall destroy him, &c. and the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate.
