John Trapp on Job 42:16

Verſe 16. Fliny tels of one Xenophilus, who lived 10[illegible: 1 letter] years without ſickneſs Lib. 7 cap 5. After this lived Job an hundred and forty years. &c.] And this was not the leaſt part of his happineſſe. Length of dayes is a piece of Wiſdoms wages. Prov. 3.16. And what a mercy, [non-Latin text not transcribed], or a good old age is, hath been before noted; See chap. 5.26. For a ſhort braid of adverſity, Job had an hundred and forty years health and proſperity: Like as Joſeph for his thirteen years of ſlavery and impriſonment, had fourſcore years liberty, proſperity and preferment. Who would not ſerve thee, O King of Nations?

And ſaw his ſons] Who doubtleſs were good and towardly (though nothing is ſaid of them) agreeable to their education, and anſwerable to Jobs former children, chap. 1.

And his ſons ſons] To his great joyes increaſe.

Even four generations] Joſeph ſaw but three, Gen. 50.23. If God deny this happineſs to any of his, yet he hath promiſed them a Name in his houſe better then of Sons and Nephews, Iſai. 56.5.
