and_o then_o second_o here_o be_v another_o great_a dispute_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o former_a namely_o whether_o we_o may_v judge_v of_o the_o righteousness_n or_o unrighteousness_n of_o the_o

of_o job_n maintain_v the_o first_o question_n negative_o the_o latter_a affirmative_o they_o deny_v that_o god_n in_o justice_n can_v afflict_v a_o righteous_a and_o a_o holy_a man_n they_o affirm_v that_o any_o man_n so_o afflict_v be_v unrighteous_a and_o may_v so_o be_v judge_v because_o afflict_v and_o so_o the_o whole_a argument_n and_o dispute_n which_o the_o friend_n of_o job_n bring_v may_v be_v reduce_v to_o this_o one_o syllogism_n he_o that_o be_v afflict_v and_o great_o afflict_v be_v certain_o a_o great_a open_a sinner_n or_o a_o notorious_a hypocrite_n but_o job_n thou_o be_v
