but_o for_o a_o while_n sudden_a mischief_n will_v overtake_v he_o and_o if_o any_o godly_a man_n be_v afflict_v it_o be_v but_o for_o a_o while_n his_o affliction_n will_v soon_o end_v and_o he_o return_v to_o a_o flourish_a condition_n in_o this_o life_n from_o these_o premise_n they_o conclude_v that_o whosoever_o be_v afflict_v and_o continue_v long_o under_o affliction_n certain_o that_o man_n be_v wicked_a and_o thereupon_o they_o judge_v job_n to_o be_v such_o a_o one_o but_o job_n hold_v this_o right_a position_n against_o they_o all_o that_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n

neither_o do_v job_n speak_v so_o right_a as_o to_o speak_v nothing_o amiss_o of_o god_n now_o god_n who_o know_v exact_o who_o speak_v right_a determine_v the_o matter_n for_o job_n you_o have_v
