Job disclaims these by name: it is as if Job had said, Were there injustice in my hands, or were I false in the worship of God, it were no wonder though all these judgements should seize upon me; yea, though my burden were heavier, I had no reason to complain; I must thank my self: Injustice and false worship, will certainly bring breach upon breach; they break not only single persons, but Kingdoms and Nations. Oppression and Superstition are Kingdom-shaking sins; much more will they shake the walls and foundations of a private House, or Family.
