Context i història
Amb aquest es tanca una obra de trenta-cinc llibres, la més llarga que va escriure. En arribar aquí convé recordar què s'ha llegit: no un tractat pensat com a tal, sinó exposició davant d'una comunitat de monjos, represa al llarg d'anys i revisada després. Per això s'hi troben repeticions i retorns, i per això el llibre està fet per obrir-lo per on convingui més que no pas per acabar-lo.

Who so enlightens them that thej' may be able' to shine. For»merewhen the light of a candle is kindled in the dark, the candle,'^" "^ which causes other objects to be seen, is first seen itself. And so, if we are truly endeavouring to behold the objects which are enlightened, it is necessary for us to open the eyes of our mind to that Lightening which gives them light. But it is this which shines forth in these very discourses of blessed Job, when the shades of allegory too have been driven away, as though the gloom of midnight had been dispelled, a bright light as it were flaming across them. As when it is said, / know that my Redeemer liveth, Joh 19, and in my Jlesh I shall see God. Paul had doubtless ^^' discovered this light in the night of history, when he said, All were baptized in Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and i Cor.
