Their proofs did not make good their accusations. The second fault which Elihu ⟨p. 78⟩found, was, They had not refuted Jobs assertion. As if he had said, Ye have spoken much, but upon the matter have done little. I waited, & I attended, expecting great things from you, but I have bin deceived in my expectation, For having taken out the strength and substance, the spirits and quintessence of your speech, I find nothing coming up, either to a conviction of Job, as faulty in matter of fact, nor to an answer of him, as defective in matter of argument. So that when I have laid all that ye have spoken in the balance, it weighs too light, Job is your match, yea, he hath over-matched you.
