There is a two-fold perishing; First, By way of annihilation. Secondly, By way of transmutation. When Elihu saith, all flesh shall perish, we are not to understand it of annihilating all flesh; (God can do that, he can turn man back into that nothing out of which he was made) but the perishing in the Text importeth only a change. Death is called a change, & a change to perishing, as that good & great woman said, I will go in unto the King, and if I perish, I perish, (Hest. 4.16.) that is, If I die, I die. The Prophet laments (Isa. 57.1.) The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart. All flesh shall perish 1Together.
