John Trapp on Job 19:10

Verſe 10 He hath deſtroyed me on every ſide] Heb. He hath demoliſhed, me, he hath pulled me down piece-meal, as an old houſe is taken down part by part. See Levit. 14.45. Judg. 8.17. God had made and faſhioned Jobs body together round about, chap. 10.8. and now he deſtroyeth it round about. The body of a man is a wonderful fabrick, wherein the bones are the timber-work, the head the upper-lodging, the eyes as windowes, the eye-lids as caſements, the browes as pent-houſes, the ears as watch-towers, the mouth as a door to take in that which ſhall uphold the building, and keep it in reparation; the ſtomack as a Kitchin to dreſſe that which is conveyed into it, the guts and baſer parts as ſinks belonging to the houſe, &c. All theſe were decaying apace in Job. to his thinking.

And I am gone] That is, I am as good as gone already; every day I yeild ſomewhat unto death, I am free among the dead, free of that Company.

And my hope hath he removed like a tree] He hath not left me ſo much as hope (which is the laſt comfort of the afflicted) of ever recovering here my health, wealth, and former enjoyments: but hath leſt me as a tree, that is plucked up by the roots, and ſo can never grow again, A Saint may be at that paſſe here in regard of his outward eſtate, that there may be to him neither hope of better, nor place of worſe, This was Cranmers Caſe.Melch. Adam.
