But what's this one thing upon which Iob makes his boast, and cries victoria? 'Tis this, He destroieth 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.
1The word which we translate to destroy, signifies an utter blotting ⟨p. 309⟩out or consumption of a thing, noting that the outward dispensations of God may be severe and terrible to the perfect,2 as well as to the wicked. He doth not say, the Lord afflicts the one, and destroys the other; chastens the one, and consumes the other; but he consumes and destroys the one, as well as the other, He destroys.
