John Trapp on Job 14:6

Verſe 6. Turn from him that he may reſt] Heb. Look away from him, i. e. from me; look not ſo narrowly, and with ſuch a critical eye upon mine out-ſtrayes, thus to hold me ſtill on the rack; look not ſo angerly, afflict me not ſo heavily, but let me reſt or ceaſe from my preſent preſſures, and doleful complaints, and ſpend the ſpan of this tranſitory life with ſome comfort, and then let the time of my departure come when thou pleaſeſt.

Till he ſhall accompliſh, as an hireling, his dayes.] That is, ſaith the Gloſſe, till I am as willing to die, as a labouring man is to go to ſupper, and to bed. The word rendred accompliſh, ſignifieth properly to acquieſce, and reſt in a thing, and vehemently to deſire it. The Saints, when they die, ſhall reſt in their beds, Iſ[illegible: 1 letter]i. 57.2. they reſt from their labours, Rev. 14.13. and that [non-Latin text not transcribed] preſently, ſtraight upon the ſtroke of death; no ſooner have they paſſed under the flaming ſword of that puniſhing Angel, but they are forthwith in Paradiſe. Here they are ſeldome quiet, but toſſed up and down as the ball upon the racket, or ſhip upon the waves: and hence it is that they ſometimes fret or faint, as Job, and ſpeak unadviſedly with their lips; theſe firm mountains are moved with earth-quakes, theſe calm ſeas are ſtirred with tempeſts; and truly, whoſoever hath ſet himſelf to do every dayes work with Chriſtian diligence, to bear every dayes croſſes with Chriſtian patience, and is ſenſible of his failings in both; libentèr ex vita, & qunſi pleno paſſu egredietur, ſaith one, he will be full glad to be gone hence, and be as weary of his life, as ever any hireling was of his work.
