Job37:10

Verſe 10. By the breath of God froſt is given] Froſt is the exceſſe of cold by the blowing of the coldeſt winds, which are here called, The breath of God: theſe congeal the waters, and turn them into ice contracting them into a narrower room. Hence it is, that as any Countrey is more Northerly, ſo it is colder; the ſea alſo is frozen and unpaſſable.

And the breadth of the waters is ſtraightned] This the ſame again in other words, though ſome underſtand it of hail: when the broad-flowing water in the clouds by the force of the cold is narrowed up into hail. All this is of the Lord. Fides non in ordinem operis, fe[illegible: 1 letter] in authorem oculos ſuos dirigit, ſaith Brentius upon the Text: Faith ſeeth God in all.
