Job23:14

Verſe 14. For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me] He hath performed all my neceſſaries; ſo Vatablus rendreth it: 'tis the ſame word that was uſed for appointed or neceſſary food ver. 12. Voluntas Dei, neceſſitas rei; God hath decreed thus to deal with me, and therein I muſt reſt ſatisfied.

And many ſuch things are with him] I know not but that there may be many more ſufferings yet decreed to come upon me in his ſecret counſel. Fiat volunt[illegible: 2 letters] Domini. Godly people though they know not many times what the Lord will do, and how he wil deal with them; yet they always know that he is a merciful father to them, and wil order all for the beſt. This ſhould content them, and keep them from chatting againſt God; and from nouriſhing hard conceits of him, or heavy conceits of themſelves, as if wicked becauſe afflicted.
