Job21:23
Verſe 23. One dieth in his full ſtrength.] Iſte moritur, There's one dieth in his very perfections; or, in the ſtrength of his perfection, when he is in the Zenith, in the higheſt degree of earthly felicity: And he ſeemeth to point at ſome one eminent wicked perſon, well known to them all. Confer Eccleſ. 9.2. God is pleaſed to do wonderful contradictory things in mans reaſon: ſo that we muſt needs confeſs an unſearchableneſs in his wayes. In hoc opere, ratio humana talpâ magis caec[illegible: 1 letter]eſt, ſaith Brentius; In this work of his, humane reaſon is blinder then a Mole: Averroes turned Atheiſt upon it: and Ariſtotle was little better, as being accuſed at Athens and baniſhed into Chaelcis, quod de divinitate malè ſentiret.
Being wholly at eaſe and quiet.] At eaſe in body and quiet in minde. The common ſort ask, What ſhould ayle ſuch a man? The Iriſh, What ſuch an one meaneth to die?
