John Trapp on Job 7:4

Verſe 4. When I, lie down, I ſay, when ſhall I ariſe &c.] Here is a graphicall deſcription of a weariſome night. The night is moſt laborious and irkeſome to ſick people[illegible: 1 letter] then they revolve their troubles, and being free from viſits of friends, they viſit their own afflictions, and ſtudy their owne diſtempers freely, then they lye all night wiſhing for day, telling the clock hearkning for the cock (that natural cloc[illegible: 1 letter]) toſſing to and fro unto the dawning of the day, not able to gee the leaſt wink of ſleep, that nurſe of nature, and ſweet parentheſis of mens griefes and cares. Oh preſent the condition of a reſtleſſe ſick man to your thoughts, (ſaith an Interpreter here) praiſe God for quiet nights, and pity thoſe to whom weariſome nights are appointed.
