2. Job or any answer, Job 38. 8. Who shut up the Sea with doors, as if it had issued out of the womb? Ver. 9. When I made the cloud the garments thereof, and thick darkness a swaddling band for it. Job 26. 7. He stretcheth out the North over the empty place, and hangeth the Earth upon nothing; give a reason of East and West.

3. The Lord puts forth Sovereignty on Jeroboam's arm to dry it up, on Mephibosheth's feet, upon the mans eye-holes, Joh. 9. that they should be empty of eyes, on Judas his bowels, on Job's body smitten with boils, his outgoings of Sovereignty appear on the Fig-tree which he curseth, on the Gourd of Jonah, for he blasts it, on the Fig-tree and Vine-tree,1 for he mars them, Joel 1. 4. As it pleaseth him he setteth one piece of clay on the Throne, to glister, another bit of clay behind the mill, where he sweats and ⟨p. 54⟩is hungry; Zeph. 3. 12. I will leave in the midst thereof an afflicted and a poor people, or sick; yea dried up, as Fish-ponds and Brooks use to be when the rest are swept away. Joseph is rich and all the Corn of Egypt is his, and his brethren want bread, and are low like Carriers, driving horses with loads on them.
