Job21:6

Verſe 6. Even when I remember I am afraid] Surprized I am with a moſt formidable amazement, when I call to mind and conſider how ill (by the divine Providence) it fareth with me, how well with many wicked; and how little you pity me, or ſeek by ſound reaſon to ſettle my mind; I am ready to cry out, Oh the depth of Gods ſtupendious diſpenſations! Confer Pſal. 73. where David delivereth himſelfe to like purpoſe.

And trembling taketh hold on my fleſh] Heb. My fleſh hath taken hold on trembling. Totus horreo, Horrour hath taken hold on me, Pſal. 119.53. ſuch as makes my body to ſhake and ſhudder. So Habak. 3.16. With chap. 1.3, 13. Job had called upon his friends to mark and be aſtoniſhed: here he propoundeth himſelfe to them for an example. Quod juſſit, & geſſit, as Bernard ſaith of Another. See chap. 18.20.
