But, secondly, I conceive that we may rather expound these words (many such things) of such things as Job had already suffered; As if he had said, The Lord bath performed the thing that he hath appointed for me; hitherto (I have had my portion of trouble and sorrow unto this day) and I am like to have more; 1I do not yet perceive that God hath done with me; for as our comforts, and the provisions of this, so our afflictions and the sorrows of this life, are, or may be renewed or returned upon us every day.

For many such things are with him. And this we may take two ways.
