John Trapp on Job 36:3

Verſe 3. I will fetch my knowledg from afar] Even from heaven, as one taught of God; I will diſcourſe of ancient things (for [non-Latin text not transcribed]) and fetch my reaſons from the wonderful and ſublime works of God,De arduis atque admirandis Dei operibus. thoſe real demonſtrations of his Deity. Eſt autem planè hic Elihu mirus & egregius, ſaith Mercer: And he is not a little wronged by that French Paraphraſt, who ſaith of him, That he knew well how to begin a diſcourſe, but knew not how to end it: and that ſeeing well that his tediouſneſſe might make him troubleſome, he awakened his languiſhing Auditours by this artificial preface.

And will aſcribe righteouſneſſe to my Maker] This is both the maine propoſition of the enſuing Oration, and the main end of mans creation; viz. to glorifie his Maker, Rom. 11. ult. Rev. 4.11.
