Job11:17
Verſe 17. And thine age ſhall be clearer then the noon-day] The reſt of thy life which thou giveſt for loſt, ſhall be the very prime part of thy time for glory. Solid glory ſpringeth out of innocency of life, beneficence toward all men, acts done valiantly and ſucceſfully with juſtice and moderation of mind: whereunto is added the conſtant applauſe of good men, proceeding from an admiration of ſo great vertue. This Zophar promiſeth Job upon his true repentance, with a daily increaſe thereof, as the Sun ſhineth more and more unto the perfect day. Fame followeth vertue, as the ſhadow doth the body at the very heels. If there be any vertue, if any praiſe, ſaith the Apoſtle Philip. 4.8. Where the one is, the other will be. Abel for his faith and righteouſneſſe is yet ſpoken of (as ſome render Hebr. 11.4.) though dead long agoe. The Righteous ſhall be had in everlaſting remembrance, Pſalm 112.6.
Thou ſhalt ſhine forth, thou ſhalt be as the morning] Iſai. 58.8. Or, If thou doſt wax obſcure, yet thou ſhalt match the morning which diſperſeth darkneſſe, and conquers it by the approaching light. Look how the Moon wadeth out of a cloud, ſo ſhall thine over-caſt righteouſneſſe break, forth as the light, and thy judgment as the noon-day, Pſalm 37.6.
