because_o he_o be_v the_o man_n that_o speak_v last_o we_o have_v he_o speak_v six_o chapter_n quite_o through_o while_o job_n speak_v not_o a_o word_n and_o therefore_o say_v they_o it_o seem_v most_o probable_a that_o when_o god_n come_v to_o speak_v he_o will_v undertake_v he_o that_o speak_v last_o who_o be_v this_o second_o because_o elihu_n have_v not_o carry_v the_o matter_n so_o clear_o and_o full_o with_o job_n as_o he_o shall_v but_o have_v fail_v though_o not_o as_o job_n three_o friend_n have_v do_v before_o and_o that_o therefore_o as_o the_o lord_n reprove_v and_o tax_v they_o by_o name_n in_o the_o 42d_o chapter_n so_o here_o elihu_n be_v tax_v more_o covert_o for_o obscure_v his_o counsel_n who_o be_v this_o that_o darken_v counsel_n by_o word_n without_o knowledge_n these_o be_v the_o two_o chief_a argument_n which_o fasten_v the_o
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 end_n of_o the_o 39th_o be_v direct_v to_o elihu_n and_o that_o god_n speak_v not_o to_o job_n till_o the_o 40th_o chapter_n yet_o some_o other_o say_v god_n reprove_v elihu_n in_o this_o second_o verse_n only_o and_o speak_v comfort_n to_o job_n in_o the_o three_o gird_v up_o thy_o loin_n like_o a_o man_n and_o these_o interpret_v the_o first_o word_n of_o the_o chapter_n then_o the_o lord_n

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 use_v the_o very_a same_o argument_n in_o the_o main_a as_o will_v appear_v in_o open_v the_o chapter_n which_o elihu_n have_v insist_v upon_o namely_o from_o the_o work_n of_o god_n in_o the_o creation_n and_o his_o wonderful_a wisdom_n in_o order_v those_o work_n in_o providence_n so_o that_o the_o deal_n of_o god_n with_o job_n in_o these_o chapter_n as_o to_o the_o subject_a matter_n 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 with_o the_o reward_n of_o both_o true_o and_o worthy_o but_o only_a with_o obscure_v and_o darken_n the_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v utter_v his_o speech_n bear_v much_o of_o the_o image_n of_o his_o own_o trouble_a spirit_n and_o troublesome_a condition_n be_v somewhat_o trouble_v and_o confuse_a therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o person_n speak_v to_o and_o reprove_v in_o this_o

fault_n nor_o forbear_v to_o reprove_v they_o when_o they_o either_o do_v or_o speak_v amiss_o when_o satan_n come_v upon_o that_o solemn_a day_n and_o stand_v before_o the_o lord_n god_n say_v unto_o

they_o all_o that_o i_o shall_v say_v in_o this_o controversy_n about_o the_o two_o creature_n here_o and_o in_o the_o next_o chapter_n speak_v of_o be_v first_o that_o the_o most_o common_a and_o receive_a opinion_n among_o very_o learned_a man_n be_v that_o by_o behemoth_n be_v mean_v the_o elephant_n not_o the_o egyptian_a elephant_n as_o the_o hippopotame_n have_v be_v call_v but_o the_o

and_o that_o the_o whale_n for_o greatness_n much_o exceed_v and_o be_v in_o that_o respect_n at_o least_o more_o famous_a than_o the_o crocodile_n therefore_o the_o lord_n speak_v of_o the_o chief_a

for_o this_o reason_n because_o they_o be_v amphibion_n for_o first_o as_o all_o creature_n of_o that_o sort_n have_v a_o uncouthness_n and_o a_o kind_n of_o monstrosity_n in_o their_o natural_n so_o they_o have_v no_o commendable_a signification_n in_o our_o moral_n they_o bear_v the_o resemblance_n of_o indifferent_a and_o middle_a man_n who_o be_v as_o we_o speak_v proverbial_o neither_o

amphibion_n to_o i_o seem_v not_o so_o competent_a for_o nor_o deserve_v of_o such_o high_a eulogium_n second_o with_o the_o favour_n of_o that_o learned_a author_n it_o appear_v to_o i_o more_o

the_o other_o in_o the_o sea_n rather_o than_o by_o set_v two_o before_o he_o either_o of_o which_o be_v challenge_v in_o part_n by_o both_o nor_o be_v it_o to_o i_o very_o probable_a that_o god_n

object_v not_o against_o job_n his_o former_a life_n nor_o charge_v he_o as_o have_v do_v wicked_o towards_o man_n or_o hypocritical_o towards_o god_n he_o only_o condemn_v he_o for_o present_a miscarriage_n under_o his_o trouble_n for_o impatience_n and_o unquietness_n of_o spirit_n under_o the_o cross_n three_o that_o which_o elihu_n chief_o object_v against_o job_n be_v the_o justify_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
