1The original word which we translate condemn, is directly opposite to that which we translate justify; 2and some render it by a new-coined word in Latin, which we cannot put literally into English, but by coining a word for it, thus; If I justify my self, my own mouth would ungodlifie me, or declare me to be ungodly.

Here two Questions arise, the one is, Why may not Job justify himself? The Lord had justified him, the Lord said that he was a perfect man (that's the next expression, If I say, I am perfect, it shall prove me perverse.) The Lord had said of Job, Chap. 1. That he was perfect and upright, one that feared God and eschewed evil; Why may not Job say as much of himself, as the Lord had done?
