1Some think she was Jobs wife, whose life they cast into the time of Jacob; I have nothing to allege either for, or against this opinion. It is a conjecture, take it as you see good: but it is probable, that Job might live about this time, but of that no more till we come to speak of Job.

1Now we go on with Dinah, of whom we read, as I said, nothing but evil, Gen. 34.1. She would needs walk into the City of Shechem, when Jacob lived thereabouts; forsooth, To see the daughters of the Country, whether they were fair maidens, what garments they wore, of what carriage, what garbs and fashion they had. A folly to which many of you maids be too subject, you let your eyes look over wistly upon the daughters: If you did alone take up your selves in contemplating the fashions at the Market, or as you walk in the streets, or the like; yet it were a spending of time worse than you need to spend it, sure it is not good to go abroad idly, when there is nothing to do but gaze here and there, when the mind hath no employment or business to set it self about.
