John Trapp on Job 6:26

Think you that I doe onely make a noiſe, or rave like a mad than, and a[illegible: 1 letter] accordingly to be dealt with? ye have not hitherto had [illegible: 1 word], windy words from me, bur words full of weight and matter, words of truth and [illegible: 1 word] wherefore then do ye ſpeak thus? Do ye imagine to reprove words?

And the ſpeeches of one that is deſperate, which are as wind? Do ye thinke I ſpeake like one that is diſtracted, who knowes not what he ſpeakes[illegible: 1 letter] of that I have at once loſt my hope and my wits?
