1It is a judiciary word, or answering in judgement; To justify is a law term, and so is to answer; one puts in his bill, and another his answer; some Courts proceed by bill and answer. If the Lord (saith Job) should put in his bill against me, I would not put in my answer, He is not a man as I am, that I should answer him.

Or we may take the word [Answer] in general, for the returning of satisfaction to a question. If the Lord demand a reason or an account of me, I could not satisfy him. Many, who can give a reason of the hope that is in them, cannot give a reason of the sufferings, which are upon them: But though they know no particular reason why they suffer, yet they believe it is not without reason. Some holy Martyrs have said to their cruel persecutors, urging them with sophistical Questions, We can die, but we cannot dispute. And so the Saints, under the most difficult providences of God, are resolved to say, We can die under them, but we vvill not dispute them. He is not a man that we should answer him in what he speaks or doth.
