1Vers. 7. What man is like Job?
- 1[Greek or Hebrew] non pro quolibet homine sumitur sed pro claro & sepiente.〈non-Latin alphabet〉 non pro quolibet homine sumitur sed pro claro & sepiente.
The word rendered man, doth not signify every ordinary man, but a great or wise man, a famous or a powerful man. What great ⟨p. 533⟩or wise man is like Job? Possibly some may be found among the dregs of the people or among the common sort like himself, but among men of honour and reputation for wisdom, surely, there are none to be found like him. Yet some take it (out of the strictness of the original word) for a man of the lowest or meanest condition; What man is like Job? that is, no man, no not of the meanest degree is like him. And so the question may be carried under a threefold notion.
