Job39:5
5. Who hath sent out the wild ass free ? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass ?
Who hath given him this disposition that he loves freedom, and avoids and hates that subjection which other Creatures quietly and contentedly endure.
Which is not to be understood privatively, as if God took off the bands which men had put upon him, but Negatively, that he keeps him from receiving the bands and submitting to the service of Man. Who hath made him so untractable and unmanageable? Which is the more strange, because home-bred Asses are so tame and tractable.
