to_o job_n or_o elihu_n yea_o some_o question_n whether_o this_o whole_a chapter_n be_v not_o intend_v to_o elihu_n rather_o than_o to_o job_n i_o shall_v answer_v that_o question_n also_o afterward_o

of_o great_a humiliation_n in_o that_o the_o lord_n question_n with_o he_o again_o in_o a_o whirlwind_n this_o shall_v be_v of_o great_a consideration_n to_o we_o in_o any_o day_n of_o affliction_n for_o if_o god_n have_v not_o his_o purpose_n in_o bring_v the_o first_o affliction_n we_o shall_v be_v speak_v to_o in_o a_o whirlwind_n a_o second_o time_n we_o be_v apt_a to_o wonder_v and_o

job_n have_v say_v he_o be_v vile_a yet_o god_n continue_v the_o storm_n because_o he_o be_v not_o yet_o low_a enough_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o that_o we_o be_v true_o humble_v as_o there_o must_v be_v truth_n in_o our_o humiliation_n so_o there_o must_v be_v depth_n in_o it_o for_o questionless_a when_o job_n say_v before_o i_o be_o vile_a he_o do_v not_o dissemble_v with_o god_n he_o be_v hearty_a in_o it_o and_o speak_v his_o heart_n what_o he_o speak_v be_v from_o his_o very_a soul_n and_o in_o sincerity_n he_o do_v not_o compliment_n with_o god_n he_o do_v not_o

37._o yet_o because_o his_o spirit_n be_v not_o come_v down_o as_o it_o shall_v therefore_o he_o must_v be_v awaken_v and_o humble_v more_o with_o another_o whirlwind_n he_o must_v be_v further_o

three_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o only_o give_v job_n a_o command_n to_o answer_v but_o incline_v and_o move_v his_o heart_n to_o answer_v the_o reason_n why_o job_n resolve_v not_o to_o answer_v be_v

no_o more_o we_o find_v he_o answer_v again_o then_o job_n answer_v the_o lord_n and_o say_v the_o lord_n have_v set_v forth_o his_o own_o infinite_a power_n and_o wisdom_n in_o that_o long_a and_o
