Job36:5
Verſe 5. Behold God is mighty, and deſpiſeth not any] Much leſſe oppreſſeth he any one in a good Cauſe, or tyrannically abuſeth his power to the cruſhing of an Innocent. He is equally good, as great; neither was Job well adviſed in ſeeming to ſunder theſe two excellencies in God, the one from the other; ſith whatſoever is in God is God; neither ought we to think of him otherwiſe, then of one not to be thought of; as of one, whoſe Wiſdom is his Juſtice, whoſe Juſtice is his Power, whoſe Power is his Mercy, and all Himſelf.
He is mighty in ſtrength and wiſdom] Or, He is mighty the ſtrength of the heart. He was ſo to David, Pſal. 138.3.Validus eſt, virt[illegible: 1 letter] animi. Trem In the day when I cryed, thou anſweredſt me, and ſtrengthnedſt me with ſtrength in my ſoul. At the ſack of Ziglag, in the fail of all outward comforts, David encouraged himſelf in the Lord his God, 1 Sam. 30.6. A Chriſtian is never without his cordial.
Ʋna eſt in trepida mihi re medicina, Jehovae Cor patrium, os verax, omnipotenſque manus.
