Thus, at last, Job began to see, that as being himself Gods creature, God might do with him what he pleased; and, that God, being his absolute Sovereign, could not wrong him, whatever he was pleased to do with him: so that, forasmuch as God was so careful of, and kind to those inferior, reasonless creatures, there was ⟨image 6⟩no shadow of a reason, why he should have the least jealousy of Gods kindness to him and regard of him, much less make such an out-cry, that God was unkind to, and regardless of Him, whom he had not only ennobled, as the rest of mankind, with reason, but renewed by grace, and filled with the holy fear of his great and glorious name.

These impressions being made upon Job, by the mighty power of God speaking to him out of the whirlwind, he presently cried out as fast against himself, and against his own ignorance and rashness, as he had done before concerning the harshness of his sufferings under the hand of God; confessing (chap. 40.4.) Behold, I am vile, what shall I answer thee? And (chap. 42.3, 6.) I have uttered that I understood not, things too wonderful for me, which I knew not; wherefore, I abhor my self and repent in dust and ashes.
