A   Iob answered, and sayde: O how helpest thou the weake? what comforte geuest thou vnto him that hath no str&ebar;gth? Where is þe; co&ubar;cell þt; thou shuldest geue him, which hath no wy&esset;dome? Wilt thou so shewe thine excellent rightuousnes? Before whom hast thou spoken those wordes? Who made the breth to come out of þe; mouth? The giauntes ∧ worthies þt; are slayne, ∧ lye vnder þe; worlde &wt; their c&obar;panions: yee ∧ all they which dwell beneth in the hell are not hyd fr&obar; him, ∧ the very destruccion it self c&abar; not be kepte out of his sight. He stretcheth out þe; north ouer the emptie, ∧ h&abar;geth þe; earth vp&obar; nothinge. He byndeth þe; water in his cloudes, that they fall not downe together. B   He holdeth back his stole, that it ca&abar; not be sene, and spredeth his cloudes before it.

^noteHe hath c&obar;pased the waters &wt; certayne boundes, vntill the daye ∧ night come to an ende. The very pilers of heau&ebar; tr&ebar;ble ∧ quake at his reprofe. ^noteHe stilleth the see with his power, ∧ thorow his wy&esset;dome hath he set forth þe; worlde. With his sprete hath he garnished the heau&ebar;s, ∧ with his hande hath he wounded the rebellious serp&ebar;t. This is now a shorte summe of his doynges. But who is able sufficiently to rehearce his workes? Who can perceaue and vnderstonde þe; thondre of his power?
