Job38:14
Verſe 14. It is turned as clay to the ſeal] That is, The earth now diſcerned, by reaſon of the aire inlightened. The ſenſe is this, Like as clay in the lump that hath no figure ſtamped upon it, is changed by a ſeal impreſſed,Piſcator. and receiveth the figure of the ſeal upon it ſelf: ſo the earth, which by night was without form by reaſon of darkneſſe, when once the Sun is up, is figured as it were: that is, it ſhewes the ſeveral figures ſtamped upon it.
And they ſtand as a garment] All the ſeveral fruits, flowers, and various workmanſhip of God in her produced creatures that grow thereupon,Abbot. appear as a ſtately garment or ornament on a man, Mat. 6.28, 29. the Sun-beams ſhining upon it as lace.
