of_o himself_o rather_o than_o god_n as_o he_o speak_v at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o 32d_o chapter_n not_o the_o maintain_n of_o his_o own_o innocency_n nor_o the_o justify_n of_o himself_o before_o

hardly_o it_o be_v more_o out_o of_o a_o true_a zeal_n to_o defend_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n in_o afflict_v he_o than_o to_o tax_v he_o with_o injustice_n now_o because_o elihu_n do_v not_o carry_v
