That thou enquirest after mine iniquity.
1The original signifies an enquiry two ways. 1. By word. 2. By actions. By somewhat done, or by somewhat spoken. And it signifies both to do and speak with great intention and heat of spirit. The word is also applied to those enquiries which are made by torture, when the party is suspected for concealment of the matter under enquiry. Which way of examination is called by the Latins, the bringing of a man to question. That last engine which was invented to support the tottering state of Rome, wherein poor souls are put to extreme tortures, to force confessions or self accusations (that I say) is called the Inquisition, and the Judges Inquisitors; because inquisition or enquiry (according to the word of the text) is there made after the iniquities of men, after their supposed heresies and heretical practices against the Romish Church. Job seems to allude to such ways of examination, why doth the Lord enquire after my iniquity, by fore judgements and terrible afflictions, by strong pains and mighty terrors.
