First, As a vilifying question, What man is like Job? Who is there that hath but the name and face of a man that would do or speak things as he? Job, in this matter, is worse then any man, then the worst of men. He acts and speaks at a lower rate of prudence and piety then many, if not then any of the lowest among the sons of men.

Thirdly, We may take it as an admiring question; What man is like Job? It is a thing unheard of, even a stupendous prodigy, that a man should be or do as Job. All sorts of men abstain from or decline, yea scorn scorning ('tis a thing so unbecoming man) but chiefly they that are great, noble and honourable, such as Job hath been in his time, yet he is turned scorner. As if he had said, Who hath heard the like? was there ever such a man heard of, who either used such scornful language against others, or laid himself so open to the scorn and contempt of others! What man is like Job, Who drinketh up scorning like water?
