rebuke_n upon_o elihu_n and_o there_o be_v many_o learned_a interpreter_n who_o carry_v it_o so_o affirm_v that_o the_o whole_a discourse_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o 38th_o chapter_n to_o the_o

that_o he_o be_v not_o speak_v for_o job_n against_o elihu_n but_o for_o elihu_n against_o job_n that_o be_v to_o humble_a job_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n do_v join_v in_o with_o elihu_n and_o

of_o it_o very_o consentaneous_a or_o like_a to_o the_o matter_n which_o elihu_n have_v handle_v and_o insist_v upon_o especial_o in_o the_o late_a part_n of_o his_o speech_n to_o job_n and_o therefore_o it_o do_v not_o seem_v probable_a that_o god_n will_v reprove_v he_o for_o what_o he_o have_v speak_v four_o the_o manner_n of_o this_o rebuke_n seem_v to_o fit_a job_n very_o full_o for_o therein_o he_o be_v not_o charge_v with_o any_o falsity_n or_o gross_a mistake_n he_o indeed_o have_v speak_v of_o god_n and_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n of_o his_o own_o innocency_n and_o piety_n

be_v nothing_o hard_a to_o god_n hard_a thing_n be_v easy_a to_o god_n some_o thing_n be_v hard_a and_o other_o easy_a to_o man_n but_o to_o god_n all_o thing_n be_v alike_o not_o only_o be_v

3.20_o so_o he_o actual_o do_v for_o we_o much_o more_o than_o we_o ask_v or_o think_v the_o lord_n expect_v we_o shall_v pray_v for_o every_o good_a thing_n which_o he_o have_v promise_v and_o therefore_o he_o have_v no_o soon_o make_v many_o large_a and_o most_o gracious_a promise_n of_o do_v great_a thing_n for_o the_o church_n with_o this_o assurance_n ezek._n 36.36_o i_o the_o lord_n

of_o himself_o rather_o than_o god_n as_o he_o speak_v at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o 32d_o chapter_n not_o the_o maintain_n of_o his_o own_o innocency_n nor_o the_o justify_n of_o himself_o before_o

hardly_o it_o be_v more_o out_o of_o a_o true_a zeal_n to_o defend_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n in_o afflict_v he_o than_o to_o tax_v he_o with_o injustice_n now_o because_o elihu_n do_v not_o carry_v
