4. The grave is a silent house, Psal. 31. 17. Let me net be ashamed, Oh Lord, for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed and let them be silent in the grave. The Psalmist prays here for deliverance from his Persecutors, here is nothing but clamour, persecution and opposition, and one shall not have a good word from them. But as Job comfort• himself in the grave, There the voice of the Oppressor shall not be heard: 1So may we, we shall be at rest and silence there, there the weary shall be at rest, and there the Prisoners shall rest together. For the Uses of this point.
