hard_a labour_n this_o make_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o whole_a context_n run_v more_o clear_o than_o our_o read_n of_o it_o and_o so_o we_o have_v sea-door_n of_o two_o sort_n in_o this_o context_n

to_o our_o read_v the_o word_n in_o this_o verse_n and_o according_a to_o the_o general_a read_n of_o the_o ten_o verse_n where_o the_o whole_a earth_n be_v cover_v with_o water_n the_o lord_n break_v up_o for_o it_o his_o free_a place_n and_o there_o keep_v it_o fast_o thus_o david_n psal_n 104.7_o 8._o speak_v of_o the_o water_n above_o the_o mountain_n and_o overflow_a all_n present_o add_v at_o

in_o both_o these_o sense_n you_o have_v not_o speak_v of_o i_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v right_a yet_o he_o say_v not_o as_o the_o septuagint_n over-rash_o render_v you_o have_v not_o speak_v of_o i_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v right_a nor_o do_v the_o lord_n charge_v they_o absolute_o as_o not_o speak_v right_a of_o he_o but_o with_o a_o modification_n or_o comparative_o you_o have_v not_o speak_v of_o i_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v right_a as_o my_o servant_n job_n have_v as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v job_n have_v be_v condemn_v by_o you_o and_o yet_o job_n have_v speak_v better_a than_o you_o right_a than_o you_o though_o he_o have_v have_v his_o fail_n in_o speak_n yet_o you_o have_v fail_v more_o than_o he_o but_o it_o may_v be_v question_v what_o be_v it_o that_o they_o do_v not_o speak_v right_a and_o what_o be_v it_o that_o job_n speak_v right_a than_o they_o i_o answer_v they_o have_v not_o speak_v so_o right_o as_o he_o first_o about_o the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n providence_n by_o which_o he_o govern_v all_o thing_n and_o distribute_v good_a and_o evil_n that_o be_v prosperity_n and_o adversity_n to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n second_o they_o have_v not_o speak_v so_o right_o as_o he_o take_v up_o the_o sign_n or_o token_n of_o the_o love_n and_o hatred_n of_o god_n from_o his_o outward_a dispensation_n three_o they_o censure_v job_n as_o a_o sinful_a doer_n in_o former_a time_n and_o that_o now_o his_o sin_n have_v find_v he_o out_o because_o at_o that_o time_n he_o be_v so_o great_a a_o sufferer_n these_o thing_n be_v not_o right_a or_o thus_o job_n friend_n do_v not_o speak_v right_a first_o in_o judge_v that_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o he_o because_o he_o afflict_v he_o second_o nor_o do_v they_o speak_v right_a in_o judge_v job_n wicked_a because_o afflict_v they_o speak_v many_o right_a thing_n about_o the_o justice_n and_o power_n of_o god_n but_o they_o do_v not_o hit_v job_n case_v right_a they_o think_v and_o conclude_v that_o if_o job_n have_v not_o be_v a_o great_a sinner_n god_n will_v not_o have_v afflict_v he_o at_o all_o at_o least_o not_o so_o great_o they_o suppose_v god_n can_v not_o just_o afflict_v job_n as_o he_o have_v do_v have_v job_n be_v a_o just_a man_n this_o be_v not_o right_a they_o do_v not_o well_o consider_v first_o that_o god_n may_v afflict_v a_o just_a man_n out_o of_o sovereignty_n second_o they_o do_v not_o well_o consider_v that_o god_n have_v other_o end_n and_o reason_n in_o afflict_v than_o for_o iniquity_n and_o therefore_o they_o know_v not_o how_o to_o justify_v the_o proceed_n of_o god_n but_o by_o condemn_v job_n which_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n to_o do_v so_o then_o their_o great_a error_n and_o mistake_n be_v in_o resolve_v this_o question_n affirmative_o whether_o he_o that_o be_v great_o afflict_v be_v a_o great_a sinner_n or_o whether_o the_o severe_a judgement_n of_o god_n light_n only_o upon_o ungodly_a man_n their_o affimation_n of_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v job_n despair_n and_o do_v provoke_v he_o to_o utter_v several_a very_o passionate_a and_o unfitting_a speech_n for_o though_o job_n speak_v many_o thing_n right_a yet_o not_o all_o right_a god_n judge_v he_o according_a to_o the_o tendency_n and_o scope_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o speech_n not_o according_a to_o the_o accident_n and_o sudden_a extravagancy_n of_o either_o job_n speak_v right_a first_o in_o affirm_v constant_o that_o god_n do_v not_o afflict_v he_o for_o his_o sin_n second_o that_o his_o affliction_n be_v no_o sign_n of_o god_n displeasure_n against_o he_o nor_o of_o his_o wickedness_n against_o god_n yet_o job_n do_v not_o speak_v all_o nor_o always_o right_a he_o fail_v first_o when_o he_o speak_v impatient_o of_o his_o own_o suffering_n second_o when_o he_o speak_v so_o bold_o to_o god_n ask_v as_o it_o be_v a_o account_n of_o his_o do_n and_o deal_n with_o he_o three_o he_o speak_v not_o right_a though_o that_o be_v right_o which_o he_o speak_v when_o he_o speak_v so_o much_o of_o his_o own_o righteousness_n thereby_o though_o not_o purposely_o yet_o according_a to_o the_o apprehension_n of_o other_o reflect_v upon_o
the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o these_o thing_n and_o more_o which_o have_v be_v note_v in_o open_v this_o book_n job_n speak_v not_o right_a of_o god_n yet_o right_a than_o eliphaz_n and_o his_o two_o friend_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n tell_v they_o you_o have_v not_o speak_v of_o i_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v right_a as_o my_o servant_n job_n have_v further_o to_o answer_v the_o question_n and_o to_o clear_v the_o whole_a matter_n we_o must_v take_v notice_n first_o in_o what_o job_n and_o his_o three_o friend_n agree_v second_o in_o what_o they_o disagree_v they_o all_o agree_v first_o in_o this_o that_o all_o the_o affliction_n which_o befall_v man_n in_o this_o life_n fall_v within_o the_o sight_n and_o certain_a knowledge_n of_o god_n second_o they_o all_o agree_v that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n and_o efficient_a cause_n the_o orderer_n and_o disposer_n of_o all_o the_o affliction_n that_o befall_v man_n three_o they_o all_o agree_v that_o god_n neither_o do_v nor_o can_v do_v wrong_a to_o any_o man_n whatsoever_o affliction_n he_o lay_v upon_o he_o or_o how_o long_o soever_o he_o continue_v it_o upon_o he_o thus_o far_o they_o all_o speak_v right_a thing_n and_o agree_v in_o what_o they_o speak_v but_o job_n friend_n hold_v other_o opinion_n wherein_o he_o total_o dissent_v from_o they_o first_o that_o whosoever_o be_v good_a and_o do_v good_a shall_v receive_v a_o present_a good_a reward_n second_o that_o whosoever_o be_v evil_a and_o do_v evil_a shall_v receive_v present_a punishment_n so_o that_o if_o any_o wicked_a man_n prosper_v it_o be_v 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 dispense_v outward_a good_a and_o evil_a so_o indifferent_o to_o good_a and_o bad_a man_n that_o no_o unerring_a judgement_n can_v possible_o be_v make_v of_o any_o man_n spiritual_a state_n by_o his_o outside_n or_o temporal_a state_n this_o job_n stick_v close_o to_o as_o be_v show_v more_o full_o in_o the_o preface_n to_o the_o second_o part._n i_o conclude_v then_o that_o neither_o do_v eliphaz_n and_o his_o two_o friend_n fail_v so_o much_o in_o speak_v as_o to_o speak_v nothing_o right_a of_o god_n yea_o there_o be_v somewhat_o right_a in_o every_o thing_n they_o speak_v 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 not_o speak_v of_o i_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v right_a as_o my_o servant_n job_n have_v yet_o before_o i_o pass_v from_o these_o word_n it_o may_v be_v question_v and_o some_o make_v it_o a_o great_a question_n whether_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v this_o sentence_n and_o determination_n of_o god_n prefer_v what_o job_n have_v speak_v of_o he_o before_o what_o eliphaz_n and_o his_o two_o

and_o grieve_v or_o of_o what_o he_o speak_v towards_o the_o latter_a end_n in_o a_o cool_a temper_n when_o his_o soul_n be_v humble_v the_o jewish_a doctor_n who_o for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v very_o severe_a against_o and_o censorious_a of_o job_n expound_v this_o sentence_n of_o god_n as_o if_o it_o respect_v only_o what_o job_n speak_v at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o 40th_o chapter_n ver_fw-la 3_o 4_o 5._o then_o job_n answer_v the_o lord_n and_o say_v behold_v i_o be_o vile_a what_o shall_v i_o answer_v thou_o once_o have_v i_o speak_v but_o i_o will_v not_o answer_v yea_o
