This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Ch_21:18 And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
Ver. 18. And after all this.] Because he proved incorrigible. Plectimur, nec tamen flectimur.
Smote him in his bowels.] So he did Arrius; John de Roma, that cruel persecutor; Alexander, the cruel keeper of Newgate; Twiford, who was executioner of Frith, Bayfield, Bainham, Lambert, Tewkesbury, and other good men in Henry VIII’s time; {a} and Arminius, who, being grievously tormented with a cough, gout, ague, and incessant pain in his bowels, ended his wretched days at Leyden, where he had craftily revived the heresy of Pelagius.
{a} Act. and Mon., 1904; Ibid., 1146.
