Who hath not heard of the patience of Job his herds of Cattle were driven away: his houses consumed with fire: his children slain: his body stricken with a scurf or manginess: his wife loathed him, and his friends for soak him. What did Job in all these miseries? what thought he? or what spake he? let his patience in suffering, & his words of thanksgiving teach us how to bear adversity, The Lord (sayeth he) hath given, and the Lord 1hath taken it: blessed be the name of the Lord: Again, Though he slay me, yet will I 2trust in him. Who is able to express the manly comfort of his heart? which said, I will trust in him though he kill me. He is my God, I am his creature. His will be done. I will always give him thanks, and praise his holy name. By these we are learned to give thanks in poverty, in afflictions, in misery, and in all things, though they are heavy and grievous unto us.
