contain_v in_o the_o 9_o 10_o 11_o and_o 12_o verse_n follow_v and_o it_o be_v ground_v upon_o the_o power_n wisdom_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v who_o will_v not_o seek_v unto_o god_n who_o be_v of_o infinite_a power_n able_a to_o deliver_v who_o will_v not_o seek_v unto_o a_o god_n and_o commit_v his_o cause_n unto_o he_o who_o be_v gracious_a and_o pitiful_a

affliction_n first_o respect_v the_o efficient_a cause_n the_o argument_n seem_v to_o lie_v thus_o he_o be_v to_o be_v seek_v unto_o in_o our_o affliction_n who_o be_v the_o principal_a efficient_a cause_n or_o sender_n of_o our_o affliction_n but_o god_n be_v the_o principal_a efficient_a cause_n and_o sender_n of_o our_o affliction_n therefore_o he_o be_v to_o be_v seek_v unto_o and_z to_o

the_o minor_a or_o the_o assumption_n lie_v in_o the_o 6_o and_o 7_o verse_n where_o he_o prove_v that_o god_n be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n or_o sender_n of_o affliction_n and_o his_o proof_n be_v

or_o from_o the_o creature_n in_o themselves_o and_o alone_o consider_v and_o if_o so_o it_o must_v needs_o come_v from_o heaven_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n who_o dwell_v above_o and_o dispose_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o his_o own_o will_n it_o be_v such_o a_o kind_n of_o speech_n as_o often_o fall_v from_o we_o when_o a_o thing_n be_v lose_v we_o say_v some_o

argue_v about_o the_o affliction_n which_o he_o see_v upon_o job_n here_o be_v heavy_a affliction_n upon_o thou_o these_o affliction_n must_v come_v some_o way_n upon_o thou_o they_o come_v not_o

man_n they_o come_v not_o they_o spring_v not_o out_o of_o the_o earth_n therefore_o he_o leave_v it_o as_o a_o clear_a inference_n that_o god_n be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n or_o sender_n of_o affliction_n again_o if_o we_o consider_v this_o argument_n as_o it_o strengthen_v the_o exhortation_n from_o the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o his_o affliction_n it_o may_v be_v form_v thus_o if_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n be_v from_o himself_o and_o the_o suffering_n of_o man_n be_v for_o his_o sin_n then_o in_o his_o suffering_n for_o sin_n he_o ought_v to_o seek_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o

to_o seek_v unto_o god_n and_o commit_v his_o cause_n unto_o he_o for_o remedy_n be_v not_o where_o else_o to_o be_v have_v this_o second_o argument_n be_v ground_v rather_o upon_o the_o exposition_n
