Job36:25

Verſe 25. Every man may ſee it] ſcil. In quo eſt vel mica bonae mentis; for a brutiſh man knoweth it not, Pſal. 92.6, 7. But ſtupidus eſt, & dignus cui oculi eruantur ſaith Plato. He is a very blockhead, and worthy to have his eyes pulled out of his head, who looketh not above him, and about him, that he may magnifie and admire the wiſdom of the Creator of all, and Preſerver of mankind.

Man may behold it afar off] For heaven is far above earth, and it is a wonder that we can look to ſo admirable an height, and that the very eye is not tired in the way. And for things that are neerer to us, we ſee them but as through a glaſs obſcurely; our knowledg of them is very imperfect, 1 Cor 11.13. the reaſon of many things is above our reach. We read of one who had ſpent above forty yeares in finding out the Nature and Property of Bees, and yet was not fully ſatisfied of many things therein.
