Heere, or within one Chapter of Exodus falleth out the story of Iob. for forme Poeticall: for Matter passing divine. Iob laboureth to cleare himselfe of hypocrisie, but not in the best manner: for the ex∣treamitie of his body and soules anguish, daunteth his reason, and breaketh his Patience. His Three Kins folkes charge hypocrisie on his head. The do∣ctrine they deliver, good: but they faile in their per∣sonall application. Their foolishnes should reproue Manies follie. In the end, Eloquent El••••u thrusts himselfe in, reprooving both pa••ties for follie: but for the vpshot, Iehouah himselfe sits Vmpire; iusti∣fying Iob for his servant, & condemning his friends for their false Application. Iob sacrificeth for his friendes: The Lord is satisfied: Iob enriched: and so endeth that divine Story: In every Allegation of Gods Mercies and Iudgments having an eye vnto Genesis. But because Iob came of K••••urah Abra∣ham his latter wife, and not of Sarah (Queene-mo∣ther of the faithfull) I therefore so passe from him, to Israels Seede.
