Job37:7

Verſe 7. He ſealeth up the hand of every man] i.e. He, by his great ſhowres, ſendeth men home for ſhelter, glad to intermit their work till better weather. See Exod. 9.19. The Hebrews call rain, Sagrir, Prov. 27.15. from ſhutting up: becauſe it keeps men at home, from travelling or working abroad.Vide Joan [illegible: 1 word] Indag. Chiromancie findeth here no footing, whatever ſome have doated: as if God had ſet certain ſignes and notes in mens hands of what ſhould hereafter befal them; and this text is alleaged for proof; but abſurdly.

That all men may know his work] i.e. That they may take notice of Gods handy-work in ordering the ſeaſons: and have time to think on their domeſtick affairs.
