husband_n curse_v god_n and_o die_v but_o can_v job_n die_v when_o he_o list_v that_o she_o bid_v he_o curse_n god_n and_o die_v what_o mean_v this_o language_n some_o interpret_v her_o meaning_n to_o

this_o be_v the_o sense_n which_o the_o word_n have_v in_o reference_n to_o the_o person_n of_o job_n that_o as_o once_o satan_n accuse_v god_n unto_o man_n so_o now_o he_o accuse_v this_o man_n unto_o god_n he_o accuse_v god_n unto_o man_n gen._n 3._o when_o god_n have_v forbid_v he_o to_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a and_o tell_v he_o that_o in_o the_o

be_v open_v and_o you_o shall_v be_v as_o god_n know_v good_a and_o evil_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v god_n have_v not_o forbid_v this_o tree_n because_o it_o will_v do_v you_o any_o hurt_n but_o because_o he_o will_v be_v god_n alone_o he_o will_v have_v all_o the_o knowledge_n to_o himself_o he_o have_v a_o ill_a intent_n he_o know_v that_o if_o you_o eat_v of_o it_o you_o will_v be_v like_o

shall_v give_v you_o some_o observation_n from_o it_o the_o first_o be_v this_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o a_o most_o malignant_a spirit_n when_o a_o man_n action_n be_v fair_a then_o to_o accuse_v his_o intention_n the_o devil_n have_v nothing_o to_o say_v against_o the_o action_n of_o job_n but_o he_o go_v down_o into_o his_o heart_n and_o accuse_v his_o intention_n malice_n misinterprets_a the_o fair_a action_n but_o love_n put_v the_o fair_a interpretation_n it_o can_v upon_o foul_a action_n malice_n will_v say_v when_o a_o man_n do_v well_o it_o be_v true_a he_o do_v it_o but_o it_o be_v for_o vain_a glory_n it_o be_v to_o be_v see_v of_o man_n it_o be_v for_o his_o own_o end_n it_o be_v for_o gain_v but_o when_o a_o man_n do_v ill_a love_n will_v say_v this_o he_o have_v do_v through_o ignorance_n or_o inadvertency_n or_o violent_a temptation_n love_n cover_v a_o multitude_n of_o sin_n as_o fair_o as_o possible_o it_o may_v with_o wisdom_n and_o with_o justice_n how_o

they_o do_v 23.24_o they_o do_v it_o indeed_o but_o they_o do_v it_o ignorant_o so_o peter_n afterward_o i_o wot_v say_v he_o that_o through_o ignorance_n you_o do_v it_o as_o do_v also_o your_o ruler_n love_n excuse_v what_o be_v ill_o do_v in_o another_o and_o malice_n accuse_v what_o other_o do_v well_o let_v such_o man_n learn_v from_o hence_o that_o in_o so_o do_v ●●●y_v be_v the_o mouth_n and_o tongue_n of_o satan_n second_o we_o may_v observe_v from_o hence_o that_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o a_o base_a and_o a_o unworthy_a spirit_n to_o serve_v god_n for_o end_n have_v this_o be_v true_a of_o job_n in_o satan_n sense_n it_o have_v indeed_o spoil_v and_o blemish_v all_o that_o he_o have_v do_v those_o that_o come_v unto_o god_n upon_o such_o term_n they_o be_v not_o

the_o main_a point_n may_v we_o not_o have_v respect_n to_o our_o own_o good_a or_o unto_o the_o benefit_n we_o shall_v receive_v from_o god_n be_v it_o unlawful_a to_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o our_o

shall_v clear_v that_o in_o five_o brief_a conclusion_n and_o these_o will_n i_o suppose_v full_o state_n the_o sense_n of_o this_o text_n and_o of_o this_o speech_n the_o first_o be_v this_o there_o be_v no_o man_n do_v or_o possible_o can_v serve_v god_n for_o nought_o god_n have_v by_o benefit_n already_o bestow_v and_o by_o benefit_n promise_v outvie_v and_o outbid_v all_o the_o endeavour_n and_o service_n of_o the_o creature_n if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o thousand_o pair_n of_o hand_n a_o thousand_o tongue_n and_o a_o thousand_o head_n and_o shall_v set_v they_o all_o on_o work_n for_o god_n he_o be_v never_o able_a to_o answer_v the_o engagement_n and_o obligation_n which_o god_n have_v already_o put_v upon_o he_o therefore_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n that_o no_o man_n can_v in_o a_o strict_a sense_n serve_v god_n for_o nought_o god_n be_v not_o behold_v to_o any_o creature_n for_o any_o work_n or_o service_n that_o be_v do_v unto_o he_o again_o second_o this_o be_v further_a to_o be_v consider_v the_o more_o outward_a blessing_n any_o one_o do_v receive_v the_o more_o he_o ought_v to_o serve_v god_n and_o the_o more_o service_n god_n look_v for_o at_o his_o hand_n that_o be_v another_o conclusion_n therefore_o we_o find_v still_o that_o when_o god_n have_v bestow_v many_o outward_a blessing_n upon_o any_o either_o person_n or_o nation_n he_o charge_v a_o acknowledgement_n upon_o they_o hos_n 2.8_o she_o do_v not_o know_v that_o i_o give_v her_o corn_n and_o wine_n and_o oil_n and_o multiply_v her_o silver_n and_o gold_n which_o she_o bestow_v upon_o baal_n therefore_o
