-Sic uno avulso non deficit alter Aureus (Virg.).

Ten children he had in heaven, and ten on earth. {See Trapp on "Job 42:10"} The Lord well knew that wealth would be nothing so comfortable to Job unless he had children to leave it to, Gen 15:2. His wife therefore, returning to her duty from which she had swerved, became fruitful at an age well advanced; for we read not of any other that he had.
