answer_v that_o this_o word_n vanity_n be_v take_v in_o two_o sense_n in_o holy_a scripture_n viz._n sometime_o for_o the_o vanity_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o it_o be_v use_v in_o psal_n 119._o 37._o where_o david_n intreat_v the_o lord_n to_o turn_v back_o his_o eye_n from_o behold_v vanity_n that_o be_v from_o behold_v sinful_a object_n and_o in_o deed_n my_o dear_a christian_a brethren_n sin_n be_v just_o style_v by_o the_o name_n of_o vanity_n for_o there_o be_v no_o vanity_n to_o the_o vanity_n of_o sin_n for_o how_o vain_a a_o practice_n it_o be_v for_o a_o little_a momentanie_n pleasure_n and_o for_o a_o modicum_n of_o transitory_a profit_n that_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n shall_v set_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o merit_n of_o christ_n the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o their_o own_o salvation_n to_o sale_n i_o leave_v it_o to_o your_o own_o conscience_n to_o judge_v but_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o esteem_v wilful_a and_o desperate_a sinner_n to_o be_v the_o most_o vain_a and_o foolish_a people_n in_o the_o world_n but_o concern_v this_o kind_n of_o vanity_n job_n do_v not_o speak_v in_o this_o place_n for_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o job_n have_v spend_v his_o month_n in_o the_o vanity_n of_o sin_n as_o they_o do_v which_o spend_v their_o precious_a time_n in_o prick_v &_o pin_v and_o paint_v and_o pamper_v in_o run_v to_o stage_n play_v in_o haunt_v of_o tavern_n and_o alehouse_n in_o prosecute_a of_o unnecessary_a suit_n at_o law_n and_o such_o like_a for_o job_n indeed_o be_v none_o of_o this_o curse_a crew_n but_o he_o be_v perfect_a and_o

bless_a job_n be_v such_o a_o man_n as_o that_o there_o be_v none_o like_o he_o in_o all_o respect_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n at_o the_o least_o in_o his_o age_n and_o ●ime_v for_o so_o it_o be_v say_v of_o he_o in_o the_o second_o chapter_n and_o three_o verse_n of_o this_o holy_a book_n we_o must_v note_v therefore_o and_o observe_v that_o the_o word_n vanity_n be_v take_v also_o in_o scripture_n for_o the_o vanity_n of_o a_o sa●ing_a condition_n and_o so_o it_o be_v use_v in_o psal_n 144._o 4._o where_o it_o be_v say_v man_n be_v like_a to_o vanity_n his_o day_n be_v like_o a_o

for_o vanish_v and_o wearisome_a night_n etc._n etc._n here_o it_o may_v be_v also_o inquire_v what_o it_o be_v that_o job_n endure_v in_o the_o night_n for_o the_o which_o ●e_n term_v his_o night_n wearisome_a ●ights_n or_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o original_n night_n of_o labour_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v job_n endure_v three_o thing_n in_o the_o night_n the_o which_o three_o thing_n make_v his_o night●xs_n the_o night_n of_o labour_n and_o unrest_n first_o he_o endure_v fearful_a dream_n and_o vision_n as_o appear_v in_o this_o present_a seven_o chapter_n and_o four_o verse_n where_o

second_o thing_n which_o jo●_a endure_v in_o the_o night_n as_o well_o as_o by_o day_n it_o be_v anguish_n of_o mind_n and_o trouble_v of_o conscience_n for_o his_o calamity_n be_v heavy_a than_o

can_v bear_v it_o prou._n 18._o 14._o 3._o the_o three_o thing_n which_o job_n endure_v in_o the_o night_n be_v extremity_n of_o pain_n in_o his_o body_n express_v by_o very_o grievous_a and_o

will_v easy_o acknowledge_v that_o extremity_n of_o pain_n be_v a_o sore_a labour_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o clear_n of_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n now_o before_o we_o come_v to_o the_o
