Job39:8
8. The range of the mountain is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.
That which he searcheth out or findeth in the Mountains. He prefers that mean provision and hardship with [illegible: 1+ letters]is freedom before the fattest Pastures with servitude. Why so weak and harmless a Creature as the wild Ass should be untamable when the most savage Lions and Tigers have been tamed; and how there comes to be so vast a difference between the tame, and the wild Ass, thou canst give no reason, but must refer it wholly to my good pleasure, to which also thou shouldst upon the same grounds refer all the various methods of my providence and dealings with thee and with other men, and not so boldly censure what thou dost not understand.
