Secondly, Job complains that he hears only those things which he had often heard.
Secondly, Job complaines that he heares onely those things which he had often heard.

It troubles a man in trouble, to be often pressed with the same thing: A man at ease is pained with unnecessary repetitions; much more a man in pain: and though they who like and love the things which they have heard, do both love and like to hear them often; yet (in some cases) they may hear them too often. Some indeed speak very profanely, what Job spake justly, who when they would not put off submission to, and attendance upon holy Doctrine, say, we know before we go, what he will say: We know such things as the Preacher usually speaks; what can he tell us, that we have not heard before? That's the language of the profane; We know as much as he can teach us.
