clear_a argument_n that_o they_o be_v direct_v to_o he_o three_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o whole_a frame_n of_o the_o lord_n discourse_v afterward_o beyond_o this_o preface_n we_o shall_v find_v 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
