And there he gives us warning, neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. That is, by the Pestilence or Plague (as 'tis expressed, Numb. 14.12, 37.) which the Apostle Paul calleth a destroyer, because, doubtless it was executed by some invisible destroyer, or Angel. The Devil, whom John in the Revelation (Chap. 9.11.) calleth, the Angel of the bottomless pit, is there also set forth by this Title, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. The Devil is the Apollyon, the Abaddon, both which signify a destroyer; yea the Devil (Heb. 2.14.) is said to have the power of death, as if he were set over that sad work, and Lorded it over dying men; yet (let us know to our comfort) the Devil hath not the power of death as a Lord, or Judge, but only as an Executioner; thus the sick mans life may be said to draw nigh to the destroyer, that is to the destroying Angel, or to the messenger of death.
