Ver. 17. Whose carcases fell] Gr. κωλα. Whose members, joints, limbs. Cadavera a cadendo. Oh that we could make that use of their disaster, that Waldus the French merchant (father and founder of the Waldenses) did of that sad sight that befell him. For walking in the streets, and seeing one fall suddenly dead, he went home and repented of his Popish errors and profane courses.
