Job40:6

Verſe 6. Then anſwered the Lord unto Job out of a Whirl-Wind] As before, chap. 38.1. notwithſtanding Jobs ſubmiſſion. See the reaſon on verſ. 4. God took his out-burſts againſt him ſo very ill, that he is not eaſily pacified; but the better to abaſe Job, and quite to break the neck of his pride, he anſwereth him again angerly, not by a ſoft and ſtill voice, as he dealt by Eliah, but out of the whirl-wind, though with ſome abatement of terrour, as Rainban conceiveth from the leaving out here the notificative Article, ſet before Segnarab the whirl-wind in the 38 chapter. Peter was not over-forward to comfort thoſe that were prickt at heart with ſenſe of ſin, and fear of wrath; but preſſeth them yet further to repent, Act. 2.38. Men are apt to ſlight and ſlubber over the work, doing it to the halves; and muſt therefore be held hard to it, leſt it ſhould not be done to purpoſe.
