John Trapp on Job 7:14

Verſe 14. Then thou skarest me with dreames] Extremam tentationem deſcribit, ſaith Vatablus; and the divel doubtleſs, had a great hand in this buſineſs, (for it was within his commiſſion, and he would not neglect any part of it;) but Job taketh notice of none but God the chief agent, and to him he applieth himſelf. His providence is exerciſed even about dreams, which in melancholy people, fall out (eſpecially when they are ſick) to be oftentimes very horrid and hideous; as that they fall down from ſome high place, commit ſome capital offence, are ſlain, torn in pieces by divels &c. Biſhop Foliots terrible night-viſion was before mentioned. Richard the third after the murther of his two innocent Nephews, and Charls the ninth of France after the Pariſian maſſacre had ſuch dreadful dreams; that they became a terror to themſelves and to all about them. But to inſtance in better men;Beza in vitae. Calvin in the year of grace 1562 being ſick of the gout, dreamed, that he heard a great noiſe of drums beaten up moſt vehemently, as they uſe to be in warlike marches. Pareus alſo Anno 1618 ſaw in a dream the City of Heidelberg ſet on fire in may places, and the Prince Electors palace all on a light flame: this he ſet down the next morning in his day-book, and added theſe words, O Deus clementiſſime averte ſiniſtrum omen &c. Such fearful dreams cauſe a ſick ſleep, and a worſe waking. This Job complaineth of here:Philip. Par. in vita Patris. and yet more fully in the next words.
