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

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

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

rather_o than_o the_o latter_a three_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o have_v a_o little_a prejudice_n against_o expound_v behemoth_n by_o the_o hippopotame_n and_o leviathan_n by_o the_o crocodile_n even_o 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 flesh_n nor_o fish_n who_o abide_v neither_o at_o land_n nor_o in_o the_o water_n neither_o in_o this_o nor_o that_o but_o to_o serve_v their_o own_o turn_n and_o reach_v their_o own_o end_n can_v

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 probable_o that_o god_n intend_v to_o conclude_v his_o speech_n to_o job_n about_o the_o creature_n by_o set_v those_o two_o before_o he_o which_o be_v most_o eminent_a the_o one_o upon_o the_o land_n 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

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
