John Trapp on Job 41:12

Verſe 12 I will not conceal his parts nor his power] That therein, as in a picture of the moſt principal piece of my Workmanſhip, thou maiſt behold how great, and how glorious a God I am. In the year of Grace 1577, July 2. the Ship-men took a Whale not far from Antwerp. the picture whereof was printed and publiſhed to this effect, His hide was without ſcales, and of a leaden colour, he was 85 foot long, and ſixteen ſoot high. From his mouth to his eyes was fifteen foot; from his eyes to his finnes, four foot and three fingers, &c. Such a kind of picture, or character of this Sea-monſter we have here, from the moſt skilful hand of heaven. Pliny obſerveth that pictures of things exact and excellent, are ſeldom drawn but with great diſadvantage. Not ſo this in the text, as will appear in the ſequel.

Nor his comely proportion] Heb. Nor the grace of his diſpoſition. i.e. Dicam quàm egregiè & concinnè membra [illegible: 1 letter]jus compoſita ſint; I will declare how finely and fitly all his parts are proportioned,Vatab. and put together. In the moſt deformed Creatures (as we count them) there is no part ſuperfluous, uſeleſſe, or uncomely. Deus eſt magnus in minimis, nec parnus in maximis.
