Profitable for all such as heartily desire the same: in the which, more particularly true Christians may learn how to lead a godly and comfortable life every day.

And of Job, how clearly doth the holy Ghost witness this,1 whereof I speak? Insomuch, that he not only withdrew himself, and departed from the corrupt examples of the people of his time, but also had a particular regard §Bof the actions of his life, both towards God and men:2 For proof whereof, his strong faith with patience, prayers and sacrifices do testify the one: his just dealing with all men, and mercifulness to the poor, with rare wisdom in governing his own family and in carrying himself toward all, do show most clearly the other: All which were not at times, but usually and ordinarily performed, and through his course of life looked unto and continued.
