This is the firf reafon which ?ob made ufe of to keep himfelfe in a due temper and even carriage toward, his ferve;nrs,the confi- deraticmof theaccount that God would call him ro, When he viftteth, what flall Ianfiner ? He fub;oynes a fecond reason why he did not defpife the caufe of his fervant. Verf. 15. Did not he that- made me in the womb make him, and didnot onefafbion to in the womb ? This reafon is taken from the onenes or likenes of fervants and Mailers. There are three Confiderations under Which Matters and fervants are all ore. First, ( which is the greateft of all) as to Gofpel grace ; A fervant may as foone and as much be made partaker of the grace of the Gofpel as his Mailer, and a common manas foone as any Prince or King. In Chrift ye[flu there le neither greeke nor 7ew. -- band nor free (Col. 3. is. ) that is, Chrift had as much refped to the one as to the other, in the laying downe of his life, and Rill bath in the offers of his Grace. He doth not beftow free-Grace upon any man becaufe he is free, or free. borne,nor doth he deny it any man becaufe he is bound, being eyther borne or made a Bond man.

Great men and small men are all men. Nor doth he meane it only (ifat all) of Great and (mall ír flature, but ofGreat and ftnall in degree. Thus Lords and Ma- tters are Great men, fubjdts and fervants are fmall men ; There Dead, that is, rayfed from the dead, ?ohm taw (invifion ) Band- ing alike (though much unlike in this world) before God to be judged at the end of the world. He had fuch a vifion though (as tome interpret) not intending the fame time or thing. ( Rev. 6. t 5.) And the Kings ofthe earth, and thegreat men, and the rich men, and the chiefeCaptaines, and the mighty men, and every bond man and everyfree man hid themselves, &c. Why fo ? (v.a7.)
