8. As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away. As the snail makes its own way by its slime, and so dissolves as it
goes, or as its shell is often found empty, as though the inhabitant had melted
away, so will the malicious eat out their own strength, and shall themselves
disappear. Like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun. Their character is shapeless, hideous, revolting. Their life never
comes to ripeness, their aims are abortive, their only achievement is to have
brought misery to others, and horror to themselves. Every unregenerate person
is an abortion, missing the true form of God-manhood, corrupting in the
darkness of sin, never seeing the light of God in purity, in heaven.
