Job16:15

15. I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin , and defiled my horn in the dust .

i. e. I put on sackcloth sowed together, not upon my other garments, but next to my skin, as was done in great Calamities; as 2 Kings 6. 30. So far am I from stretching out my hands against God, whereof I am accused; Chap. 15. 25. that I have humbled my self deeply un[illegible: 1+ letters]er his hand,

I have willingly parted with all my Wealth, and Power, and Glory (as the horn oft signifies in Scripture; as Ps[illegible: 1+ letters]lm 75 5. & 132. 17 Luke 1. 69.) and been contented to lie in the dust, and to endure the contempt which God hath brought upon me.
