fee_v wickedness_n also_o will_v not_o he_o then_o punish_v it_o job_n 11._o 11._o the_o reason_n of_o this_o point_n that_o god_n know_v all_o man_n sin_n and_o sinful_a course_n he_o know_v all_o that_o they_o ever_o have_v do_v or_o do_v do_v or_o will_v do_v or_o can_v do_v or_o will_v do_v be_v first_o because_o god_n be_v infinite_a in_o knowledge_n as_o david_n 1._o say_v his_o

he_o can_v not_o discover_v they_o let_v a_o man_n excuse_v himself_o may_v be_v his_o excuse_n may_v pass_v currant_n among_o man_n but_o god_n must_v needs_o know_v the_o falseness_n of_o his_o

what_o they_o will_v and_o this_o may_v go_v unperceived_a among_o man_n but_o god_n understanding_n be_v infinite_a and_o therefore_o he_o know_v all_o that_o man_n do_v he_o know_v how_o every_o

what_o they_o have_v be_v reprove_v for_o for_o he_o be_v infinite_a in_o knowledge_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v privy_a to_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n second_o as_o he_o be_v omniscient_a so_o

god_n himself_o argue_v on_o this_o manner_n can_v any_o hide_v himself_o in_o secret_a place_n that_o i_o shall_v not_o see_v he_o 〈◊〉_d not_o i_o fill_v heaven_n and_o earth_n say_v the_o lord_n
