I grant Job seems to say, (though he said it not, with that aim or intention, yet he seems to say) that he was even absolutely righteous, not only as justified but sanctified, while he said, (Chap: 31.7, 8.) If there be any blot cleaving to my hands, if my ⟨p. 515⟩steps have gone out of the way, or my heart been deceived, &c.
