:1040p. 322–323

Job besides the hardship he found from strangers, had been hardly used by his friends. The use which he made of all this, was to make more use of or to get near unto God. O that I knew where I might find him. This was Davids wisdom also (Psal. 142.4, 5.) I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man would know me, refuge failed me, no man cared for my soul. When all slighted him, when none took care of him; what doth he in this case? The next words tell us what; I cried unto thee, O Lord, I said thou art my refuge, and my portion in the land of the living. As if he had said, Upon these unkindnesses, disrespects and slightings which I found in the world, I took occasion, yea I was stirred in my spirit to cry unto thee, O Lord, and to say, thou art my refuge, that is, then I made thee my refuge more then ever. Having made thee my choice in my best times, when men honoured and embraced me, I am much encouraged in these evil times when men regard me not, and the more because they regard me not to make thee my refuge, to shelter my weather-beaten self in thy name and power. As the natural spirits in the body, when the air is very sharp, cold, and unkind to the outward parts, retire inwards, resort to the heart, keep close to the heart; whereas in warmer weather the spirits are drawn forth, and therefore we are more subject to faintings and swoonings in hot weather
