2. The righteous consist of perishing principles as well as the unrighteous: the righteous are earthly vessels made of dust, I, their foundation is in the dust; their lives are a vapour as well as the lives of the unrighteous:
3. The righteous must dye as well as others, because they have a body of sin which they carry about them; for there is no man so wise, that lives and sins not, Eccles. 7.10. wherefore there is that which deserves death in a righteous man.
Lastly, and especially, The righteous perish upon a peculiar account: For if we have hope only in this life (saith the Apostle) we are of all men most miserable, and therefore they must perish to keep them from perishing: they must say as Themistocles, Perissem nisi periissem, they must dye that they may rest from their labour: for here is not our rest, Mich. 2.10. there remaineth a rest for the people of God: there is no rest in this world: the word quies wants the plural number.
