I answer, and my answer shall be the last note from this context.
A godly man will rather bear more blame then he deserveth, then stand to excuse himself when he hath deserved any blame.
A godly man will rather beare more blame then he deserveth, then stand to excuse himselfe when he hath deserved any blame.
Job replied no more, spake no more, but to show that he yielded to what was said, and submitted to this dispensation of God in sending Elihu to charge him thus. He took more upon him then he had said, lest he should seem to justify any thing that ⟨p. 549⟩he had said amiss. (Chap: 40.5.) Once have I spoken, but I will not answer: yea twice, but I will proceed no further. As if he had said, I will make no more pleas for my self, nor excuses, I will cry guilty to the whole matter of my charge, though I might clear and discharge my self of much of it. How far was the spirit of Job from theirs, who though charged with that only which they have directly done, or spoken, yet stand it out in pleading their excuse, and will never fall down before reproofs, though what they have done or spoken amiss, be so plain, that it needs no proof.
