John Trapp on Job 3:7

Verſe 7. Lo let that night be ſolitary] And ſo conſequently ſorrowfull; for aloneneſſe is comfortleſſe, & optimum ſolatium ſodalitium. There is a deſirable ſolitarineſſe: ſuch as was that of Iſaac, Gen. 24.63. of Iacob, Gen. 32.24. of Chriſt, Mark 1. of Peter, Acts 10.9. to talk with God and with themſelves. But uſually to ſit ſolitary is a miſery, Lam. 1.1. (for Satan is readieſt to aſſault, when none is by to aſſiſt) neither is there a greater tye to conſtancy, then the ſociety of Saints. This the Heathen Perſecutors perceived, and therefore baniſhed and confined the Chriſtian Confeſſors to Iles and Mines, where they could not come together for mutuall edification and comfort. There is a Woe to him that is alone, and good reaſon ſhewed for it by Solomon, Eccleſ. 4.9, 10, 11, 12. Let no man ſtye up himſelf, or affect ſolitarineſſe: but make conſcience of fellowſhip in the Goſpel, as the Philippians did from the firſt day of their converſion to Chriſt, Phil 1.5. accounting, that Communion of Saints is a point of practice, as well as an Article of belief.

And no joyfull voyce come therein] That is, ſaith One, No pleaſing ſtilneſſe, (as in other nights there is) to invite the melody of Muſick. Or, let there be no merry-meetings, feaſtings and jollities, as was uſuall in the night-ſeaſon. Let not ſo much as the voyce of the Cock be heard that night (ſo the Chaldee here paraphraſeth) but the dolefull ditties of Screech-owles, and other inauſpicate creatures. Let no traveller, that is then benighted, ſolace himſelf with ſweet ſongs, or Muſicians play from houſe to houſe, as City-waits do.
