CHAP. VI. Whether any die before their time.
But here some will object, and say with David, 1The bloody and deceitful men shall not live half their days. Again, God added fifteen years unto the days of Hezekiah. And Jonah preached to Nineveh, 2saying: Yet forty days; and Nineveh shall be destroyed. Forty days came, and Nineveh was not destroyed. Therefore to some their time is shortened for a plague, and to some their days are prolonged for a blessing, as God hath promised. And the time of death, and certain end of mans life, is not determined.
BVt here some will obiect, and say with Dauid, 1The bloudie and deceitful men shall not liue halfe their dayes. Againe, God added fifteene yeares vnto the dayes of Hezechias. And Ionas preached to Niniuie, 2saying: Yet fortie dayes; and Niniuy shall be destroyed. Fortie dayes came, and Niniuy was not destroyed. Therefore to some their time is shortned for a plague, and to some their daies are prolonged for a blessing, as God hath promised. And the time of death, and certaine end of mans life, is not determined.
