Job 28

^{1 !} Job sheweth that the wisdome of God is unsercheable.

^{1 a} His purpose is to declare that man may atteine in this wordle to diuers secrets of nature, but man is neuer able to comprehend the wisdome of God.

^{3 b} There is nothing but it is compased within certeine limites, & hathe an end, but Gods wisdom.

^{4 c} Meaning him that dwelleth thereby.

^{4 d} Which men can not wade through.

^{5 e} That is, corne, and vndernethe is brimstone or cole, which easely conceiueth fyre.

^{6 f} He alludeth, to the maines and secrets of nature, which are vnder the earth, whereinto nether soules nor beastes can entre.

^{9 g} After that he hathe declared the wisdome of God in the secretes of nature, he describeth his power.

^{12 h} Thogh Gods power, & wisdome may be vnderstand in earthly things, yet his heauenlie wisdome can not be atteined vnto.

^{13 i} It is to hie a thing for man to atteine vnto in this worlde.

^{15 k} It can nether be boght for golde, nor precious stones, but is onely the gift of God.

^{18 l} Which is thoght to be a kinde of precious stone.

^{21 m} Meaning, that there is no natural neanes, whereby man might atteine to the heauenlie wisdome: which he meaneth by the soules, that flie hie.

^{23 n} He maketh God onely the autor of this wisdome, and the giuer thereof.

^{28 o} He declareth that man hathe so muche of this heauenlie wisdome, as he sheweth by fearing God, and departing from euil.
