Note, First; The Lord himself takes special care of the wildest creatures, even of those which are most remote from the help and care of man.
The care and tenderness of God toward beasts, turns to his praise, as well as the care which he hath of, and the tenderness which he shows to believers. And as it doth exceedingly advance the glory of God, that he takes care of wild beasts, so it may exceedingly strengthen the faith of man, that he will take care of him. Doth the Lord take care of wild Goats and of Hinds, then certainly he takes care of those that particularly belong to him; as hath been already showed or inferred from such like instances as we have here in the Text.

Secondly, From the particular Point, upon which the care of God is here intimated, with respect to the wild Goats and Hinds; namely, their bringing forth and calving, we learn, that There is a special providence of God towards these and such like creatures, for the production of their young.
