Again, When Job saith, My soul is weary of my life. Life may be taken either for the act of life, and so the sense is, I am weary of living; or it may be taken for the manner of life, and so the sense is, I am weary of that course or state of life wherein I am. Life is often put (not strictly for the act of living, but) for the state or condition in which a man lives, or with which life is clothed; The circumstances and concomitants of life are called life. Thus in our common speech, when a man is in misery, another saith, I would not have his life, or what a life hath he? The Apostles character ⟨p. 413⟩of all natural men, is, that they are alienated from the life of God (Ephes. 4.18.) that is, they cannot endure to live such a life as God lives, or as he commands them to live, they cannot endure to be holy, as he is holy, or holy, as he calls them to be holy, in all manner of conversation. Thus Job was alienated from his own life, I (saith he) am weary of my life; that is, of a life thus embittered, thus afflicted.
