1And that's a strange kind of drink, one of the worst if not altogether the worst of Natures brewing. Scorning may be taken 2 ways, either passively or actively; some take it in a passive signification; What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water? that is, who is so scorned, or who subjecteth himself to the scorn of men as he hath done. What wise or discreet man did ever lay himself so naked, so open to contempt as he? or who like him would render himself so ridiculous, such a laughing stock to all his hearers, who are but rational and understanding men?
