In the 19th Chapter of this Book at the 27th verse, Job useth this word in his application to his friends, for their pity to him, and more favourable dealing with him; Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O my friends, for the hand of God hath touched me. As if he had said, The hand of God presseth me sore, O let not your ⟨p. 391⟩hand be heavy upon me too. This exposition carrieth a great truth in it, and is not at all inconsistent with the letter of the text; yet I shall not insist upon it, but adhere rather to a third, which makes the antecedent to this [He] to be God himself.

Then he is gracious.
That is, when the messenger hath dealt with the sick man, when he hath opened his condition to him, and showed him his uprightness, or how he may stand upright before God, or what his righteousness is before God, and hath brought his heart to an unfeigned sorrow for his sin, and to the actings of faith upon the promise; then God is gracious, and then he gives out the word for his restoring, and orders it to be presently dispatched away to him, saying, deliver him, unloose him, unbind him, let him not go down into the pit, I have found a ransom. Taking this for the general sense of the Text, I shall proceed to open the particulars.
