when_o you_o say_v i_o will_v to_o god_n thou_o be_v like_o i_o the_o king_n shall_v be_v like_o paul_n by_o this_o say_n how_o then_o do_v some_o say_v with_o festus_n too_o much_o zeal_n have_v

first_o here_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o among_o the_o blessing_n of_o job_n his_o child_n be_v reckon_v first_o so_o soon_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v past_o his_o spiritual_a blessing_n which_o he_o mention_v in_o the_o first_o verse_n of_o all_o before_o all_o his_o other_o blessing_n land_n and_o house_n and_o good_n and_o cattle_n and_o friend_n and_o servant_n he_o speak_v of_o his_o child_n as_o the_o chief_a treasure_n which_o job_n have_v next_o unto_o his_o virtue_n although_o he_o be_v count_v the_o great_a man_n for_o riches_n and_o cattle_n and_o all_o thing_n else_o in_o all_o the_o east_n part_n 3._o verse_n therefore_o the_o devil_n when_o he_o have_v take_v away_o all_o his_o other_o riches_n take_v away_o his_o child_n last_o of_o all_o try_v he_o as_o it_o be_v by_o degree_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o have_v a_o great_a plague_n for_o he_o yet_o if_o the_o lose_n of_o his_o good_n and_o steal_v of_o his_o cattle_n and_o burn_v of_o his_o house_n and_o slay_v of_o his_o servant_n will_v not_o move_v he_o yet_o i_o know_v what_o will_v rouse_v he_o when_o his_o child_n be_v all_o feast_n together_o i_o will_v raise_v a_o mighty_a wind_n and_o blow_v down_o the_o house_n upon_o their_o head_n and_o kill_v every_o son_n &_o daughter_n which_o he_o have_v at_o a_o clap_n indeed_o this_o news_n fright_v he_o forest_n as_o appear_v in_o the_o 20._o verse_n his_o patience_n be_v so_o great_a that_o when_o they_o bring_v he_o word_n of_o his_o ox_n &_o camel_n and_o ass_n and_o sheep_n he_o never_o shrink_v we_o do_v not_o read_v that_o he_o make_v any_o answer_n as_o though_o he_o care_v not_o for_o they_o but_o when_o he_o hear_v that_o his_o dear_a child_n seven_o son_n and_o three_o daughter_n after_o he_o have_v bring_v they_o up_o to_o ripe_a year_n be_v slay_v all_o at_o once_o than_o the_o story_n say_v that_o he_o rise_v up_o from_o his_o seat_n and_o rend_v his_o garment_n and_o shave_v his_o head_n and_o fall_v down_o to_o the_o ground_n and_o cry_v naked_a come_v i_o out_o of_o my_o mother_n womb_n and_o naked_a shall_v i_o return_v again_o so_o even_o the_o devil_n know_v what_o a_o man_n love_v and_o what_o a_o blessing_n it_o be_v to_o have_v child_n therefore_o when_o god_n command_v the_o man_n and_o the_o woman_n to_o increase_v and_o multiply_v it_o be_v say_v before_o that_o god_n bless_v they_o gen._n 1._o 28._o which_o be_v the_o first_o blessing_n that_o be_v give_v to_o man_n which_o be_v call_v a_o blessing_n the_o blessing_n of_o child_n again_o when_o god_n speak_v the_o same_o word_n to_o noah_n &_o his_o son_n it_o be_v say_v before_o that_o god_n bless_a noah_n &_o his_o son_n gen._n 9_o 4._o so_o child_n come_v still_o under_o the_o name_n of_o blessing_n thus_o god_n himself_o show_v that_o child_n be_v his_o gift_n to_o make_v you_o thankful_a for_o they_o and_o careful_a of_o they_o as_o job_n be_v and_o therefore_o some_o man_n have_v more_o riches_n and_o some_o less_o &_o some_o none_o because_o it_o be_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n as_o solomon_n say_v which_o make_v rich_a pro._n 10._o 22._o so_o some_o man_n have_v many_o child_n &_o some_o few_o &_o some_o none_o because_o it_o be_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n as_o david_n say_v which_o send_v child_n psal_n 128._o but_o this_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o temporal_a blessing_n and_o spiritual_a blessing_n that_o spiritual_a blessing_n be_v simple_o good_a and_o therefore_o do_v all_o man_n good_a that_o enjoy_v they_o as_o faith_n and_o love_n and_o patience_n can_v never_o hurt_v a_o man_n but_o better_a he_o and_o temporal_a blessing_n be_v as_o he_o which_o have_v they_o to_o good_a man_n riches_n be_v good_a honour_n be_v good_a health_n be_v good_a liberty_n be_v good_a because_o he_o do_v good_a with_o they_o but_o to_o a_o evil_a man_n they_o be_v evil_a because_o they_o make_v he_o worse_o and_o he_o do_v evil_a with_o they_o as_o jeroboam_fw-la have_v not_o do_v so_o much_o hurt_v if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v in_o such_o honour_n therefore_o we_o pray_v for_o health_n and_o wealth_n and_o honour_n and_o rest_n and_o liberty_n and_o life_n with_o a_o caution_n if_o it_o be_v god_n will_v as_o christ_n pray_v for_o the_o remove_n of_o his_o cross_n because_o we_o know_v not_o whether_o they_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n whether_o they_o will_v make_v we_o better_o or_o worse_o or_o whether_o we_o shall_v do_v good_a with_o they_o or_o hurt_v thus_o when_o job_n have_v his_o cattle_n and_o his_o house_n and_o his_o friend_n and_o his_o servant_n and_o his_o child_n about_o he_o he_o be_v like_o the_o man_n of_o who_o david_n speak_v the_o righteous_a man_n shall_v flourish_v like_o a_o palm_n tree_n psalm_n 91._o 13._o therefore_o the_o devil_n say_v that_o god_n have_v make_v a_o hedge_n about_o job._n vers_fw-la 10._o as_o a_o hedge_n go_v round_o about_o a_o garden_n so_o god_n blessing_n go_v round_o about_o job_n according_a to_o that_o psal_n 33._o 10._o him_n which_o trust_v in_o the_o lord_n mercy_n shall_v embrace_v on_o every_o side_n thus_o job_n be_v endow_v with_o child_n but_o how_o his_o child_n be_v affect_v we_o can_v define_v so_o well_o as_o of_o their_o father_n because_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v nothing_o of_o they_o but_o that_o they_o banquet_v which_o do_v sound_a as_o though_o he_o note_v a_o disparagement_n between_o job_n and_o his_o son_n as_o there_o be_v between_o ely_n and_o his_o son_n for_o oftentimes_o a_o godly_a father_n have_v untoward_a child_n which_o make_v he_o watch_v and_o fast_o and_o pray_v &_o weep_v when_o they_o little_o think_v while_o they_o themselves_o ruffle_v and_o swear_v and_o banquet_n and_o game_n till_o poverty_n fall_v on_o their_o purse_n as_o the_o house_n fall_v upon_o their_o head_n so_o it_o seem_v that_o job_n son_n be_v secure_a upon_o their_o father_n holiness_n as_o many_o be_v upon_o their_o father_n husbandry_n which_o think_v the_o old_a man_n have_v enough_o for_o we_o we_o need_v not_o care_n to_o get_v or_o save_v so_o they_o may_v think_v our_o father_n sacrifice_v for_o we_o we_o may_v feast_v and_o be_v merry_a his_o
