An exposition with practical observations continued upon the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh chapters…

They lived by faith in the midst of a thousand deaths, live you likewise by faith in death, when ever you come into the hand of that king of terrors. And when at any time your own hearts or the ways of others are out of course, check and chide them for and from those disorders, by sending them to the practise of the Saints. Look to the Saints, from which of the Saints have you learned to be proud and high minded? from which of the Saints have you learned to be earthly and covetous? from which of the Saints ⟨p. 177⟩have you learned to seek and set up your selves, or to be impatient under the hand of God? That man hath reason to suspect he hath done ill, who doth that, which a good man never did, or ever repented the doing of it. Observe further;

When God forsakes a man, all the Saints on earth forsake him too. Eliphaz looks upon Job, as a man forsaken of God, and then he bids him get help if he could among the Saints. He that opposes God, shall be opposed by all who are Gods. There is the same mind in the servants of Christ, which is in Christ their Master. They love where and whom he loves, they hate whom he hates, they are ashamed of those, of whom Christ is ashamed; If God reject a man, the Saints will not undertake or answer for him. So much of the first Argument, ranking Job with the wicked, because (as Eliphaz thought) he could not find any in the rank of Saints like himself.
