The plain mans path-way to heaven

Theol. Job was an excellent man for such matters. For, it is said of him,¹ that He brake the jaws of the unrighteous man, and plucked the prey out of his teeth. Where we see how Job was a means to deliver the innocent, and to pull the Lamb out of the Lions claws. Moreover,² it is written of him in the same Chapter, that the blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon him, and that he caused the widows heart to rejoice; that he was the eye to the blind, the feet to the lame, and the father to the poor: and when he knew not the cause, he sought it out diligently. O what a notable man was this! O that we had many Jobs in these days! ⟨p. 214⟩Wise Solomon doth most gravely advise us all to follow Jobs example in this behalf.³ Deliver (saith he) them that are oppressed and drawn to death: for shouldest thou withdraw thy self from them which go down to the slaughter? Would to God this counsel were well weighed and practised amongst us.
