1. For Instances of Holy Men, there are divers of them. As of Job, see his complaints, Chap. 6. ver. 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. The Arrows of the Almighty are within me, the Poison whereof drinks up my spirit: The terrors of God do set themselves in array against me. Oh that it would please God to destroy me, that he would loose his hand and cut me off. Which with other Passages in that Chapter, I shall after open at large. Again, Chap. 13. 24, 26. Thou holdest me for thine Enemy, thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the sins of my Youth; also Chap. 16. ver. 12, 13, 14, 15. God, He also hath taken me by my Neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark: His Archers compass me about, he cleaveth my Reins asunder, and doth not spare; He breaketh me with breach upon breach, He runneth upon me as a Giant. I shall here only single out that of Heman, which is a most full one, and alone sufficient; and reserve the explicating ⟨p. 60⟩that of Job's Case, wholly unto the setting forth the dreadfulness, which is the subject of the second Section.
