1In Gods stead.
- 1[Greek or Hebrew]〈non-Latin alphabet〉
1But how came Elihu to be in Gods stead? had he a Commission from God to undertake Job? was he, as I may say, Gods Delegate or Ambassador? did God send him out upon this errand? if not, why did he take so much to himself, as to say, I am according to thy wish in Gods stead?

- 1Pro deo; erga deum.
1I cannot say, that Elihu had any formal Commission to come out, and appear in Gods stead, as an Attorney appears in stead of his Client, or as an Ambassador in the stead of his Prince; But doubtless Elihu had an equivalent or virtual Commission, even a mighty impression upon his spirit, by the Spirit of God to do so; his heart was drawn out secretly, but strongly to stand up and undertake for God, towards the determination of this long continued dispute. I am (saith he) in Gods stead or place; in that place which if God himself should supply, he would be a dread and a terror to thee. But I a man of like passions as thy self, and being here in Gods behalf, and by his authority, in his name and for his glory to speak unto thee, I shall yet speak according to the measure of a man, and therefore, thou needest not fear that my terror should make thee afraid, I am in Gods stead.
