As if the Lord had said, Thou O Job, hast often seen the snow fall, and thou mayest easily perceive that it falls out of the clouds; but hast thou ascended, or can any ascend unto those airy regions, where snow is generated and laid up, as in a treasure? If not, surely then no man can ascend to heaven, and there search out or discover the mysteries and secrets of Wisdom and Justice in my works here below, unless by the wings of faith and the light of a spiritual understanding, which sits down satisfied in this conclusion, that all is wisely and justly done, which God doth, whether in heaven or earth. To bring Job to this acknowledgement, was the design and purpose of God (as hath been touched before) in all the questions propounded to him in this and the next Chapter.
