Job4:15

Luke 24.37. for elſe, how could he be ſeen of Eliphaz, gliding rather then going, as a ſhip upon the face of the waters?
The hair of my fleſh ſtood up] Horripilatus ſum; In a fright the heart falleth down, the haire ſtandeth up; the blood haſtening to the heart to relieve it, as ſoldiers do to the caſtle, when all is likely to be loſt.
