JOB. Chap. 4. Vers. 17. Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his Maker?
JOB. Chap. 4. Vers. 17. Shall mortall man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his Maker?
IN this verse we have the argument it self, or the matter revealed in the former vision; There was silence, and I heard a voice saying: What that voice said, we have in these words; Shall mortal man be more just than God? This is the theme or subject, upon which Eliphas argues; and it is the main proposition of the whole context. The proof of this proposition, was given from ⟨p. 107⟩Divine authority, in the fore-going words; and we have a proof 1from reason, in the following part of this Chapter.
