John Trapp on Job 42:15

Verſe 15. And in all the Land there were no women found ſo [illegible: 1 word], &c.] [illegible: 1 word] though but a [illegible: 1 word] fragile, and one of the gifts of Gods left hand, Prov. 3.16, [illegible: 1 word] is it the Flower of vertue, as Chryſippus called it; one of the greateſt excellencies of Nature, and ſingular degree of Gods Image in man, as Another.Plat[illegible: 1 letter]. And although vertue is — Proprio contenta theatro, yet to others Gratior eſt pulchro veniens in corpore virtus. That Vertue hath a better grace. That ſhineth from a beauteous face. Such probably were Jobs Daughters, not fair and fooliſh, as thoſe Daughters of Jeruſalem, Iſai. 3. but adorned with all variety of Moral vertues, as a clear Skye is with Stars, as a Princely Diadem with Jewels. Hence their good father ſo affected them, that he

Gave them inherit[illegible: 4 letters]s among their brethren] Making them coheires with them in his eſtate, which as it was an extraordinary expreſſion of his love to his daughters; ſo it importeth, as ſome think, a deſire in him to have his daughters live ſtill with him amongſt the reſt of his family: either for that he was loath to part with them,Val. Max. Chriſtian pag. 308 (the like whereof is reported of Charles the Great, who being asked, Why he did not beſtow his daughters in marriage, anſwered, That he could not be at all without their company) or elſe as fearing leſt they ſhould be defiled with Idolaters, which peradventure, out of Jobs family, were ordinary in that Countrey.
