1Job bottoms himself upon this principle, That God destroys both good and bad alike with outward destruction. This is his great Axiom, the very foundation upon which he buildeth all he holds contradictory to his friends; the Fort-Royal in which he defends himself against all their oppositions and assaults. One truth well manned and managed scatters and foils a whole Army of errors. One text thoroughly understood, gives answer to all objections, and unties all the knots of a controversy.

But what's this one thing upon which Job makes his boast, and cries victoria? 'Tis this, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked. A harsh doctrine, yet a good one. God is to be honoured destroying, as well as saving, killing, as well as making alive.
