That Body which was fed so assiduously, cared for so anxiously, loved so passionately: is now tumbled into a pit, and left to the mercy of crawling Worms. The change which judgment made upon that great and flourishing City Nineveh, is a fit emblem• to shadow forth that change ⟨p. 199⟩which death makes upon humane Bodies. That great and renowned City, was once full of people which thronged the streets thereof: there you might have seen children playing upon the Thresholds, Beauties showing themselves through the windows, Melody sounding in its Palaces. But what an alteration was made upon it, the Prophet Zephaniah describes, Chap. •. v. 14. Flocks shall lye down in the midst of her, all the Beasts of the Nations: both the Cormorant and the Bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it: their voice shall sing in the windows, desolation shall be in the thresholds, for he shall uncover the Cedar work.
