John Trapp on Job 19:5

Verſe 5. If indeed yen wil wagnifie your ſelves againſt me] Or, will you indeed magnifie your ſelves againſt me? ſcil. becauſe of mine error, as verſ 4. which yet ye have not convinced me of? Will ye inſult over me therefore, and throw dirt upon me? Of Bonaſſus, a certain beaſt as big as an On, Ariſtotle reporteth,Hiſt. Animal. lib. 9 cap. 45. that having hornes bending inward and unfit for fight, after that he is wounded by the hunters, he flyeth for his life, and often letteth flye his dung for four yards or more, upon the dogs or men that purſue him, to their great annoyance. In like fort deal many diſputers of this world; when they cannot make good their matter by ſtrength of Argument, they caſt upon their adverſaries the dung of calumnies, ſo ſeeking to magnifie themſelves againſt him, and pleading againſt him his reproach.

And plead againſt me my reproach] Affliction expoſeth a man to reproach. Where the hedge is low, the beaſt will be breaking over. See Zeph. 3.12. with the Note there.
