Secondly, Judgement is any angry dispensation or wrath poured out or executed upon persons, nations, or Churches; If judgement begin at the house of God, (that is, if trouble or wrath begin at the Church of God) what will the end of those be that obey not the Gospel? (1 Pet: 4.17.) Davids Song consisted of two parts (Psal: 101.1.) judgement was one of them, I will sing of mercy and judgement. This notion of judgement is every where found in Scripture, yet neither is this the notion of it in this Scripture. God had not thus taken away Jobs judgement; he begged indeed that God would take away this his judgement, and it was the matter of his complaint, because he did not take it away.

Thirdly, Judgement is right done or right due; right due, is judgement due; right done, is judgement done. Thus David prayed (Psal: 72.1.) Give the King thy Judgements▪ O God, and thy righteousness to the Kings son; that is, give him an understanding to do right, or to give every man his right. To do this is a thing so desirable in all men, especially in Kings and Princes, that when God at Gibeon sent young king Solomon a blank from heaven, and bid him ask what he would, he asked only this (1 Kings 3.9.) Give thy servant an understanding heart, to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad. This is properly the judgement intended here. Job complained, God hath taken away my Judgement; that is, my right, or hath not done me right.
