it_o also_o appear_v that_o his_o impatience_n augment_v his_o misery_n for_o above_o what_o god_n limit_v satan_n to_o lay_v upon_o he_o to_o the_o torment_n of_o his_o mind_n from_o his_o three_o

your_o affliction_n be_v from_o man_n or_o devil_n the_o finger_n of_o god_n limit_n it_o as_o well_o as_o send_v it_o for_o the_o extent_n of_o it_o either_o in_o weight_n or_o length_n as_o in_o the_o first_o commission_n against_o job_n it_o be_v to_o extend_v but_o to_o his_o whole_a estate_n and_o all_o his_o child_n but_o not_o to_o job_n person_n whatsoever_o instrument_n satan_n do_v

you_o saint_n of_o god_n whatsoever_o you_o be_v in_o your_o deep_a misery_n of_o want_n of_o mean_n health_n or_o whatever_o if_o you_o look_v for_o help_v and_o comfort_n do_v as_o job_n do_v look_v only_o to_o god_n as_o he_o that_o have_v take_v all_o that_o you_o want_v from_o you_o and_o he_o alone_o to_o restore_v all_o to_o you_o for_o here_o you_o see_v second_o cause_n either_o for_o good_a or_o evil_n they_o come_v and_o go_v at_o god_n command_n again_o you_o that_o think_v yourselves_o to_o be_v saint_n hence_o observe_v also_o that_o here_o you_o may_v give_v a_o right_a

fruit_n of_o righteousness_n as_o here_o upon_o job_n the_o upright_a man_n in_o the_o earth_n but_o if_o he_o send_v you_o bitter_a cross_n for_o your_o fail_n and_o be_v loose_a and_o careless_a than_o it_o be_v for_o chastisement_n at_o the_o least_o as_o here_o to_o job_n for_o all_o his_o affliction_n under_o satan_n second_o commission_n above_o the_o touch_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o bone_n god_n lay_v it_o upon_o he_o for_o chastisement_n that_o be_v as_o i_o say_v before_o which_o he_o suffer_v from_o his_o three_o friend_n and_o elihu_n and_o from_o god_n twice_o dreadful_a apparition_n in_o the_o whirlwind_n and_o thus_o god_n chastize_v the_o saint_n at_o corinth_n for_o abuse_n of_o the_o sacrament_n some_o by_o sickness_n and_o some_o he_o slay_v so_o eli_n so_o david_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o uriah_n so_o miriam_n aaron_n and_o moses_n he_o slay_v they_o in_o the_o wilderness_n again_o hence_o observe_v that_o when_o you_o be_v lade_v with_o bitter_a
