God is not put to any pain at all in making man,1 he doth all his works with infinite delight and ease. Nothing is hard to him who can do all things: Omnipotency never meets with any difficulty. But God is expressed in making man by a word, signifying solicitousness and painful care, implying, That man is made as those things are, upon which man bestows greatest pains and care. Man doth not look like a piece of work slubbered over slightly, or clapped up in haste. The most wise God, who showed his manifold wisdom in the work of redemption, showed much of his wisdom in the work of creation; He made man (as we speak) in print.

- 1Deus nō se fatigavit in homine condendo; Sed de Deo Scriptura hominis more loquitur, quasi summa cura & anxietate ad eū formandum usus esset Deus, ut nihil ad ejus perfectionem deesset. Merc. Manus tuae dolore afficiunt me, quae secerunt me.

A learned translator renders, Thy hands put me to pain, which have made me; as if Job had complained here of the pain which God put him to after he had made him, rather then exalted God for the pains he seemed to have taken, when he made him. But we may better keep to our rendering, Thine hands have made me, and Fashioned me.
