job_n calamity_n job_n trouble_v from_o that_o to_o the_o 7_o verse_n of_o the_o 42._o chapter_n 3._o job_n restitution_n or_o restore_n from_o thence_o to_o the_o end_n take_v the_o book_n in_o this_o division_n and_o it_o seem_v to_o hold_v forth_o to_o we_o such_o a_o representation_n of_o job_n as_o be_v give_v we_o in_o the_o three_o first_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n concern_v man_n in_o those_o 3._o first_o chapter_n we_o have_v man_n set_v forth_o 1._o in_o the_o excellency_n and_o dignity_n of_o his_o creation_n be_v lord_n and_o sovereign_n of_o all_o adorn_v with_o that_o integrity_n and_o purity_n of_o nature_n which_o god_n have_v plant_v in_o and_o stamp_v upon_o he_o at_o his_o creation_n and_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o book_n we_o have_v job_n like_o a_o man_n in_o innocence_n shine_v in_o all_o his_o dignity_n compass_v about_o with_o blessing_n of_o all_o sort_n blessing_n of_o the_o body_n blessing_n of_o the_o soul_n blessing_n of_o this_o life_n and_o of_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v 2._o there_o we_o find_v the_o devil_n plot_v the_o ruin_n of_o man_n and_o we_o find_v his_o plot_n take_v for_o a_o while_n and_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n prevail_v so_o here_o in_o this_o book_n we_o have_v the_o devil_n beg_v job_n ruin_v and_o have_v obtain_v leave_n so_o far_o as_o concern_v his_o outward_a estate_n and_o body_n quick_o put_v it_o in_o execution_n 3._o there_o we_o have_v adam_n by_o god_n free_a mercy_n and_o promise_v restore_v to_o a_o better_a estate_n in_o christ_n through_o the_o grace_n of_o redemption_n than_o he_o have_v before_o in_o himself_o by_o the_o goodness_n of_o creation_n so_o here_o we_o have_v job_n through_o the_o mercy_n power_n and_o faithfulness_n of_o god_n restore_v to_o all_o he_o have_v and_o more_o we_o see_v he_o repair_v and_o set_v up_o again_o after_o his_o break_n not_o only_o with_o a_o new_a stock_n but_o a_o great_a his_o estate_n be_v double_v and_o his_o very_a loss_n prove_v beneficial_a to_o he_o this_o may_v suffice_v for_o the_o division_n or_o part_n of_o the_o book_n which_o i_o conceive_v may_v shed_v some_o light_n into_o the_o whole_a now_o for_o the_o three_o thing_n which_o i_o propose_v which_o be_v the_o use_n or_o scope_n or_o intendment_n of_o this_o book_n for_o that_o be_v a_o special_a thing_n we_o be_v to_o carry_v before_o we_o in_o our_o eye_n in_o the_o read_n of_o scripture_n it_o be_v possible_a for_o one_o to_o understand_v the_o subject_n and_o to_o know_v the_o part_n and_o yet_o not_o to_o be_v attentive_a to_o find_v out_o or_o distinct_o to_o find_v out_o what_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n be_v or_o whereat_o he_o special_o drive_v and_o aim_v therefore_o it_o will_v be_v very_o profitable_a to_o we_o likewise_o to_o consider_v what_o the_o tendency_n and_o intendment_n or_o as_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v the_o use_v of_o this_o book_n be_v first_o it_o aim_v at_o our_o instruction_n and_o that_o in_o divers_a thing_n first_o which_o much_o concern_v every_o christian_n to_o learn_v it_o instruct_v we_o how_o to_o handle_v a_o cross_n how_o to_o behave_v ourselves_o when_o we_o be_v in_o a_o conflict_n whether_o outward_a or_o inward_a what_o the_o posture_n of_o the_o spiritual_a war_n be_v and_o with_o what_o patience_n we_o ought_v to_o bear_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o his_o deal_n with_o we_o this_o i_o say_v be_v set_v forth_o by_o the_o scripture_n in_o other_o place_n to_o be_v the_o main_a and_o one_o of_o the_o principal_a end_n or_o intendment_n or_o use_v of_o this_o book_n this_o the_o apostle_n james_n speak_v of_o 5.11_o you_o have_v hear_v of_o the_o patience_n of_o job_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v do_v you_o not_o know_v why_o the_o book_n of_o job_n be_v write_v why_o god_n in_o his_o providence_n do_v bring_v such_o a_o thing_n to_o pass_v concern_v job_n it_o be_v that_o all_o man_n shall_v take_v notice_n of_o his_o patience_n and_o may_v learn_v the_o wisdom_n of_o suffer_v that_o noble_a art_n of_o endure_v job_n be_v full_a of_o many_o other_o excellent_a grace_n and_o indeed_o he_o have_v all_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o he_o but_o the_o patience_n of_o job_n be_v the_o principal_a grace_n as_o it_o be_v with_o natural_a man_n they_o have_v every_o sin_n in_o they_o but_o there_o be_v some_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o master_n sin_n or_o some_o one_o sin_n it_o may_v be_v do_v denominate_v a_o wicked_a man_n sometime_o he_o be_v a_o proud_a man_n sometime_o he_o be_v covetous_a sometime_o he_o be_v a_o deceiver_n sometime_o he_o be_v a_o oppressor_n sometime_o he_o be_v unclean_a sometime_o he_o have_v a_o profane_a spirit_n and_o so_o the_o like_a some_o one_o great_a master_n lust_n do_v give_v the_o denomination_n to_o the_o man_n he_o have_v all_o other_o sin_n in_o he_o and_o they_o be_v all_o reign_v in_o he_o but_o one_o as_o it_o be_v reign_v above_o the_o rest_n and_o sit_v uppermost_a in_o his_o heart_n so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n and_o here_o with_o job_n every_o saint_n and_o servant_n of_o god_n have_v all_o grace_n in_o he_o every_o grace_n in_o some_o degree_n or_o other_o for_o all_o the_o limb_n and_o liniament_n of_o the_o new_a man_n be_v form_v together_o in_o the_o soul_n of_o those_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n but_o there_o be_v some_o special_a grace_n which_o do_v give_v as_o it_o be_v the_o denomination_n to_o a_o servant_n of_o god_n as_o that_o which_o give_v the_o denomination_n to_o abraham_n be_v faith_n and_o that_o which_o give_v the_o denomination_n to_o moses_n be_v meekness_n and_o so_o this_o which_o give_v the_o denomination_n to_o job_n be_v patience_n and_o so_o the_o denomination_n too_o of_o this_o whole_a history_n as_o if_o that_o be_v the_o great_a lesson_n that_o be_v to_o be_v take_v out_o the_o lesson_n of_o suffering_n and_o of_o patience_n so_o that_o what_o the_o apostle_n make_v to_o be_v the_o use_n of_o all_o scripture_n whatsoever_o thing_n say_v he_o be_v write_v afore-time_o be_v write_v for_o our_o learning_n 15.4_o that_o we_o through_o patience_n and_o comfort_n of_o the_o scripture_n may_v have_v hope_n that_o i_o say_v which_o the_o apostle_n there_o make_v to_o be_v the_o end_n and_o scope_n of_o the_o whole_a scripture_n do_v seem_v to_o be_v in_o special_a the_o principal_n

though_o no_o man_n be_v without_o sin_n yet_o the_o affliction_n of_o many_o be_v not_o for_o their_o sin_n 5._o there_o be_v this_o general_a instruction_n which_o god_n will_v have_v we_o learn_v out_o of_o this_o book_n namely_o that_o the_o best_a get_v and_o the_o best_a found_v estate_n in_o outward_a thing_n be_v uncertain_a that_o there_o be_v no_o trust_n to_o any_o creature-comfort_n god_n will_v unbottome_n we_o quite_o from_o the_o creature_n by_o hold_v forth_o this_o history_n of_o job_n unto_o we_o 6._o god_n will_v also_o show_v forth_o this_o for_o our_o learning_n viz._n the_o strength_n the_o unmoveablenesse_n of_o faith_n how_o unconquerable_a it_o be_v what_o a_o kind_n of_o omnipotency_n there_o be_v in_o
