Job19:6

Verſe 6. Know, that God hath overthrown me.] Do not you therefore add affliction to the afflicted, which is ſo odious a thing to God, Pſal. 41.2.Diodaze. and 69.26. but regard the greatneſſe of mine evils, which draw theſe complaints from me that ſeem ſo immoderate to you. See Job 6.2.

And hath compaſſed me with his net.] Hath encompaſſed me round with affliction, that I can get out no way. An hunting term, Job 10.16. La[illegible: 2 letters] 1.23, Ezek. 12.13. Hoſ. 7.12. Bildad had made much mention of nets and grins, chap. 18.8, 9. where in God enſnareth and enſnarleth the wicked. Job granteth, that Gods not had encompaſſed him; but withal denyeth himſelf to be wicked, or that his friends ſhould therefore reproach him, but rather pity him.
