Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
The word which we render strike, specially notes the striking of one hand against the other; our hands clashed, or struck together, make a sound, or noise: Thus some Interpret the word here, He strikes them with an Ignominious sound. Many rejoice and clap their hands when they fall; They are destroyed with shouting. Others take the metaphor from a bladder filled with wind, which being cast on the ground, and stamped upon with the foot, breaks with a noise, or gives a crack in the breaking: Wicked men, in all they think, and purpose, and do, are but wind, and when they break, they break like bladders, which have nothing of solidity, only breath and fume in them. Such an Elegance there is in this word, hitting the vanity and vacuity or emptiness of wicked ⟨p. 692⟩men, all their filling being but like that of a bladder, which puffs them up, but never makes them wise or solid men.

Many rejoyce and clap their hands when they fall; They are destroyed with shouting.

Such an Elegancy there is in this word, hitting the vanity and vacuity or emptiness of wicked ⟨p. 692⟩men, all their filling being but like that of a bladder, which puffes them up, but never makes them wise or solid men.
Further, I find this word used for striking in a three-fold sense.
