Job37:17

Verſe 17 How thy garments are warme, when he &c.] Canſt thou give a reaſon of the extreme heat that is about the Summer-Solſtice, when the warm South-winds blow ſo gently, that they are ſcarce felt at all, and thy cloathes heated by thy body are a burden to thee, ſo that thou art ready to caſt them off, and but for common honeſty, thou couldſt go naked? Brentius thinks, That although one of the winds only is here inſtanced, yet the diſpoſing of them all is intended; wherein much of God may be ſeen: for it is he alone, who holdeth them in his fiſt, hideth them in his Treaſures, ſendeth them out as his Poſtes, rideth upon them as his Chariot, 2 Sam. 22.10. Pſal. 104.3. checks them at his pleaſure (whence they concluded Chriſts Deity, Matth. 8.27.) makes them pace orderly appointing them their motion, &c. chap. 28. Nos motum ſentimus, modum neſcimus, Joh 3.8. Thou heareſt the ſound of the wind, but knoweſt not whence it cometh, nor whither it goeth. Now if in theſe common matters men are ſo blind, how much more in the deep judgements of the moſt High?
