| 36:1 | Eliu proceaded forth in his talkinge, & sayde: |

| 36:7 | He turneth not his eyes awaye from the rightuous he setteth vp kynges in their Trone, and cofirmeth them, so that they allwaye syt therin. |
| 36:8 | But yf they be layed in preson and cheynes, or bounde with the bondes of pouerte: |
| 36:9 | then sheweth he them their workes ad dedes and the synnes wherwt they haue vsed cruell violence. |

| 36:30 | and cause his light to shyne vpo them, and to couer the botome of the see. |
| 36:31 | By these thinges gouerneth he his people, and geueth the abundaunce of meate. |
| 36:32 | In ye turnynge of a hande he hydeth the light, & at his commaundement it commeth agayne. |
