LEVIATHAN OR CROCODILE.

BULK AND APPEARANCE.

He

Job xli, 31, 32, 18-21, 11. maketh the deep to boil like a of ointment. He maketh a path pot: he maketh the sea like a pot to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary. By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron. His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth. Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

IMPENETRABLE Scales.

Job xli, 7. 12-17, 23, 26-30. Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears? I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion. Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle? Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about. His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal. One is so near to another,

that no air can come between

them. They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. flakes of his flesh are joined toge ther: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved. sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon. He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble. Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear. Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.

UNTAMABLE.

Job xli, 1-6, 8-10, 22, 24, 25, 33. 34. Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with

a cord which thou lettest down? Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn? Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee? Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever? Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or

wilt thou bind him for thy maid- | ens? Shall thy companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants? Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more. Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? None is so fierce that dare stir hin up: who then is able to stand before me? In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him. His heart is as firm as a

stone; yea, as hard as a piece of

the nether millstone. When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves. Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

Ps. Ixxiv, 14. Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

Ps. civ, 26. There go the ships:

whom

there is that leviathan thou hast made to play therein. Isa. xxvii, 1. In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

Job xxxix, 9. 11, 12. Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?
