chap._n 1._o v._n 8._o have_v thou_o consider_v my_o servant_n job_n that_o there_o be_v none_o like_o he_o in_o the_o earth_n a_o perfect_a and_o a_o upright_a man_n one_o that_o fear_v god_n and_o

bless_v the_o work_n of_o his_o hand_n and_o his_o substance_n be_v increase_v in_o the_o land_n but_o put_v forth_o thy_o hand_n and_o touch_v all_o that_o he_o have_v and_o he_o will_v curse_v thou_o to_o thy_o face_n and_o when_o this_o pretence_n be_v refute_v he_o again_o suggest_v that_o if_o god_n will_v put_v out_o his_o hand_n 5._o chap._n 2._o v._n 5._o and_o touch_v his_o bone_n and_o flesh_n he_o will_v curse_v god_n to_o his_o face_n whence_o we_o may_v learn_v how_o satan_n be_v call_v the_o accuser_n of_o the_o brethren_n 12.10_o rev._n 12.10_o who_o accuse_v they_o before_o god_n day_n and_o night_n and_o how_o great_a a_o privilege_n the_o gospel_n have_v discover_v to_o we_o that_o we_o have_v the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o be_v our_o advocate_n to_o justify_v we_o in_o the_o court_n of_o heaven_n against_o the_o malicious_a allegation_n of_o this_o adversary_n this_o also_o may_v render_v a_o easy_a account_n of_o the_o perverse_a malice_n of_o wicked_a

that_o those_o calamity_n which_o befall_v mankind_n be_v chief_o wrought_v by_o the_o agency_n of_o the_o devil_n who_o be_v describe_v in_o the_o scripture_n as_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o air_n the_o destroyer_n a_o murderer_n from_o the_o beginning_n the_o great_a tempter_n and_o tormenter_n of_o man_n the_o chief_a author_n of_o all_o evil_a either_o of_o sin_n or_o of_o

the_o house_n in_o which_o his_o child_n be_v feast_v and_o those_o ill_a humour_n in_o job_n body_n which_o break_v out_o in_o boil_n from_o head_n to_o foot._n which_o discovery_n may_v be_v of_o use_n to_o guard_v we_o with_o the_o strict_a caution_n and_o strong_a indignation_n against_o that_o tempter_n who_o be_v so_o great_a a_o enemy_n and_o may_v also_o help_v we_o to_o conceive_v how_o some_o extraordinary_a calamity_n which_o sometime_o surprise_v we_o be_v produce_v though_o no_o other_o natural_a cause_n of_o they_o do_v appear_v 4._o we_o may_v further_o learn_v from_o this_o history_n that_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o legion_n with_o all_o their_o malice_n &_o power_n be_v able_a to_o effect_v no_o mischief_n against_o we_o but_o then_o only_o and_o foe_n far_o as_o god_n give_v they_o permission_n for_o we_o find_v that_o the_o devil_n can_v not_o hurt_v job_n though_o eager_a in_o his_o malice_n against_o he_o till_o god_n say_v to_o he_o behold_v all_o that_o he_o have_v be_v in_o thy_o power_n and_o at_o first_o he_o can_v not_o hurt_v his_o person_n because_o god_n restrain_v he_o by_o a_o prohibition_n 12._o chap._n 1._o ver_fw-la 12._o only_o upon_o himself_o put_v not_o forth_o thy_o hand_n and_o when_o the_o devil_n seek_v to_o have_v his_o commission_n enlarge_v god_n give_v he_o power_n over_o job_n body_n say_v behold_v he_o be_v in_o thy_o hand_n 6._o chap._n 2._o ver_fw-la 6._o yet_o then_o also_o restrain_v he_o with_o this_o exception_n but_o save_v his_o life_n and_o this_o be_v matter_n of_o great_a comfort_n and_o encouragement_n to_o we_o that_o we_o be_v not_o abandon_v to_o the_o powerful_a malice_n of_o the_o devil_n that_o though_o he_o go_v about_o as_o a_o roar_a lion_n seek_v to_o devour_v yet_o he_o can_v go_v beyond_o the_o tedder_n of_o his_o chain_n that_o a_o almighty_a wisdom_n and_o goodness_n watch_v over_o we_o in_o a_o continual_a providence_n and_o that_o god_n will_v be_v faithful_a to_o we_o in_o not_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v tempt_v beyond_o what_o we_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v 10.13_o 1_o cor._n 10.13_o and_o will_v with_o every_o temptation_n make_v a_o way_n for_o we_o to_o escape_v that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o bear_v it_o 5._o we_o be_v also_o inform_v from_o hence_o that_o god_n do_v sometime_o permit_v the_o devil_n to_o afflict_v his_o servant_n not_o out_o of_o wrath_n against_o they_o but_o only_o to_o approve_v and_o exercise_v their_o grace_n for_o the_o advancement_n of_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o of_o their_o praise_n and_o for_o the_o increase_n of_o their_o grace_n here_o and_o of_o their_o reward_n hereafter_o this_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o character_n god_n give_v of_o job_n and_o the_o favour_n and_o delight_n he_o express_v towards_o he_o both_o before_o and_o after_o his_o suffering_n the_o lord_n say_v unto_o satan_n 3._o ch._n 2_o v._o 3._o have_v thou_o consider_v my_o servant_n job_n that_o there_o be_v none_o like_o he_o in_o the_o

destroy_v he_o without_o a_o cause_n this_o may_v support_v and_o encourage_v we_o under_o any_o suffering_n when_o our_o conscience_n can_v attest_v our_o integrity_n as_o job_n do_v and_o teach_v we_o to_o suffer_v cheerful_o for_o god_n sake_n when_o we_o do_v not_o suffer_v for_o our_o own_o this_o may_v also_o restrain_v we_o from_o make_v any_o reproachful_a reflection_n upon_o the_o affliction_n of_o god_n servant_n as_o job_n friend_n do_v on_o he_o because_o god_n may_v permit_v they_o for_o other_o wise_a and_o good_a end_n beside_o that_o of_o punishment_n 2._o this_o

and_o encourage_v we_o in_o the_o difficult_a duty_n of_o bear_v as_o we_o ought_v those_o calamity_n and_o affliction_n which_o be_v our_o common_a portion_n in_o this_o world._n whilst_o we_o

and_o support_v to_o contain_v we_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o it_o now_o nothing_o do_v more_o sensible_o encourage_v we_o under_o suffering_n then_o proper_a and_o eminent_a example_n which_o at_o once_o demonstrate_v to_o we_o that_o our_o affliction_n be_v tolerable_a because_o we_o see_v they_o bear_v by_o other_o and_o also_o excite_v in_o we_o a_o generous_a emulation_n to_o acquit_v
