His complaint is very rhetorical and high,1 yet with an allay or mixture of modesty. Indeed his spirit brake out, and passion got head, at the 18, and 19 verses, where he expostulates with God, in the language of the third Chapter, Wherefore host thou brought me forth out of the womb, &c? But abating that excess of his tongue and spirit, his complaints are knit up with solid arguments, and his Queries put the point resolutely, yet humbly, home to God himself: that he would be pleased to show the reason of his present dealings, and why he varied so much from what he had done in former times.
