IN the former context, which was the close of the 38th Chap. The Lord gave Job an account of his care in providing food for the Lion, and the young Lions; for the Raven and his young ones.

There are some creatures which live under mans inspection, and are provided for by him, being tame and serviceable; there are others which have no commerce (as I may say) with man, but are savage, living at la•ge in the fields and forests, upon hills and mountains, yet these are preserved in thei• generations and increase, as well as those which are the under the eye and daily care of man. The wild Goats are preserved as well as the sheep, and the Hinds of the Forrest as well as the Calves of the Stall.
