Job26:3
Verſe 3. How haſt thou counſelled him that hath no wiſdom?] q.d. Thou lookeſt upon me as a fool and an Atheiſt; but this thou doſt with far greater folly: for I am not the man thou takeſt me for, but can ſay as much for God as thy ſelf, and more too: and if I were ſuch as thou wouldſt make of me, I might ſo continue for any help I ſhould have by thy counſel. The like hereunto we may ſay to the Papiſts and other Seducers, who pretend to tender our good, to counſel us for the beſt, and to wiſh our ſalvation.
And how haſt thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?] Heb. the Eſſence, or the Reaſon, or the naked truth: q.d. What ado haſt thou kept to tell me, no mere then I knew before? wherein thou haſt fairly loſt thy labour, and miſſed of thy deſign, if ever thou intendeſt to counſel and comfort me. Very wiſely haſt thou done it, I muſt needs ſay for thee.
