Job26:11

Verſe 11. The Pillars of heaven tremble] i.e. the Angels, ſay ſome, who tremble out of conſcience of their own comparative imperfections. The beſt of Saints on earth, ſay others (according to Gal. 2.9. Rev. 3.12. Prov. 9.1, 2.) who tremble at Gods Word, Iſai. 66.2. and have many concuſſions by afflictions. But better underſtand the Firmament of heaven, Hag. 26, 7. Matth. 24.29. The Powers of heaven ſhall be ſhaken, they ſhall quake with the loud check of his Thunder claps. Or the high and mighty mountaines whereon the heavens ſeeme to reſt, as on ſo many pillars, ſhaken by Earth-quakes, and ſometimes with great aſtoniſhment removed out of their places.

And are aſtoniſhed at his reproof] As all the beaſts of the field are at the roaring of the Lion;Lavat. Ʋt quis a gravi & magnae pot[illegible: 1 letter]ſtat[illegible: 1 letter] vire. objurgatus, iremit & [illegible: 2 letters]hementer ſolicitus eſt, as a ſlave chidden by a Prince trembleth, and is aghaſt.
