But Job thou hast nothing like the Eternity of God, for thou art but of the other day; thou hast nothing like the Omniscience of God, for thou art ignorant of what God hath done, and destitute of counsel what to do thy self: Thou hast nothing like the Power of God, the Arm of God, thou art weak, thou canst not make the least worm, the least fly; surely, then thou canst do nothing towards the making of a world: Therefore thou art blame worthy, for finding fault with, and complaining about what God hath done.
The first Proposition is fully implied, throughout the discourse. The Assumption is expressed in many sharp and cutting queries, from the 4th ver. of this Chapter, Where wast thou, &c. to the 34th of the next. The parts of this Assumption are many; whereof the first treats of Creation, from this fourth verse to the 22d; the second of Providence in general, chiefly in the Meteors; from the 22d. verse to the end of this Chapter; the third, of ⟨p. 44⟩special Providence towards the Beast of the Earth, and the Fowls of the Air, from the first verse of the 39th Chapter to the end.
