It hath somewhat of mercy in it, to go out of the world before extraordinary affliction comes in; yet in these things we must take heed of being our own Carvers; it is one thing to have a promise from God, that the Cloud shall not break in our time; and another thing for us to wish and desire to be out of the world before the Cloud breaks: The former argueth the tenderness and care of God towards us, but the latter must needs argue either our unwillingness to suffer either from or ⟨p. 463⟩for God; Or our distrust of his assistance and presence with us to support us in our sufferings. If God will not cut us off by death before the darkness, we should be willing to live in the darkest darkness of outward calamity that ever fell upon this world. Job adds a second reason of his troubled spirit in the last words of this verse and Chapter.

It hath somewhat of mercy in it, to goe out of the world before extraordinary affliction comes in; yet in these things wee must take heed of being our owne Carvers; it is one thing to have a promise from God, that the Cloud shall not breake in our time; and another thing for us to wish and desire to be out of the world before the Cloud breakes: The former argueth the tendernes and care of God towards us, but the latter must needs argue eyther our unwillingnes to suffer eyther from or ⟨p. 463⟩for God; Or our distrust of his assistance and presence with us to support us in our sufferings. If God will not cut us off by death before the darknes, wee should be willing to live in the darkest darknes of outward calamity that ever fell upon this world. Job adds a second reason of his troubled spirit in the last words of this verse and Chapter.
