So then, the providence of God is here magnified in continuing and multiplying several sorts of four footed beasts of the earth and winged fowls of the air; some of which being tame are kept by the care of man; others being wild and avoiding the presence of man (he scarce knowing the nature of them, nor having any service by them) are perpetuated in their kinds by the only care of God.
In these four verses there are two things in general, about which the Lord holds forth his care of these savage creatures. First, About the bringing forth of their young ones. Secondly, About the bringing up of their young ones. The bringing forth of their young ones, we have in the three first verses of this Chapter; the bringing up of their young ones, we have in the 4th verse.
About the bringing forth of their young ones the Text speaks two things. First, The season of it; and secondly, The painful manner of it.
The season of it in the two first Verses. Knowest thou the time when the wild Goats of the rock bring forth? (verse 1.) and then of the hinds (ver. 2.) Canst thou number the months that they fulfil?
