Job having with steady, yet trembling attention, heard all these words spoken to him, with irrefragable authority, by the Lord himself out of the whirlwind, sate down convinced, that surely the great God, the Creator of the ends of the earth, who had so exact an eye upon all those ⟨image 5⟩creatures, both for the continuance of their species or kinds, and the preservation of their individuals or particulars, could not possibly cast off the care of man-kind, nor of him in particular, no nor put any man to any hardship or suffering, but for some great end or ends, glorious always to himself, and in the issue good for the wise and patient sufferer. He was also convinced, that himself not well understanding the mysteries of providence (nor indeed could any more fully understand them, than he did the mysteries of creation, or the manner how God laid the foundations of the earth, and shut up the sea with doors; he, I say, not well understanding the mysteries of providence, was convinced that he) had done very ill, to make such long and loud complaints about it, that is, about the severity of Gods dealings with him; as if like an enemy he intended him nothing but pain and sorrow, by the pains and sorrows which he endured.
