Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

Interpretation

Thus greatly may good men be afflicted, and such dismal thoughts may they have about their afflictions, and such dark conclusion may they make about their end, through the power of melancholy and the weakness of faith.
