Job40:18

Verſe 18. His bones are as ſtrong pieces of braſſe] Or, As Conduit Pipes of braſſe. whereby may be underſtood his hollow bones. as by bars of Iron the ſolid ones and by both, (together with his Trunk, compoſed of griſtles, and his teeth and tuſhes eight foot long ſome of them) we may conjecture of the bigneſſe of his whole body; the hugeſt of all earthly creatures, ſaith Pliny; nine cubits high, ſaith Elian of ſome. Now can Job look upon ſuch a monſtrous creature, or hear his noiſe or ſtand before him without great horror? and will he not ſubmit to the great God and give him all his glory.
