To clear (which we must remember) that Job's innocency had received a three-fold testimony in this book.
To cleare (which we must remember) that Job's innocency had received a three-fold testimony in this booke.
First, He received a testimony from God himself, and that a very notable and glorious one (Chap: 1. 8.) Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man.
First, He received a testimony from God himselfe, and that a very notable and glorious one (Chap: 1. 8.) Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man.
Secondly, He received a further testimony from the pen-man of this book, who having recorded the several afflictions of Job, and his behaviour under them, repeats it twice (Chap: 1. 21. Chap: 2. 10.) In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. The testimony which God gave him, referred to his former actions or conversation before his affliction. The testimony which the writer gave him, referred specially to his latter words or speeches under his affliction. Besides these testimonies which are not at all questioned nor can be; we find a third testimony, and that he gives of himself. Now though Elihu did highly reverence the testimony which God had given (if we may suppose he had notice of it) and would also the testimony of the pen-man of the book, had it then been written; yet he questioned the testimony which Job gave of himself. Now, that there was some severity in this charge upon that suspicion, may appear by considering it in a few particulars.
