The Body of his Discourse, is begun at the fifth verse inclusively, and continued to the 23d verse of the next Chapter exclusively.

In this copious Discourse or long Oration, Elihu brings not any new assertion, or saying of Job, to be proved against him, nor doth he reprove Job for any new fault, but insists upon the proof of what himself had asserted before, to show that God is righteous, or to maintain the righteousness of God; which he doth variously by looking through the various works of God, those especially which are wrought on high, the Meteors of the airy region, the ⟨p. 137⟩rain, the snow, the lightening, and the thunder, in and by all which, report is made, as of the Wisdom and Power, so of the Justice and Righteousness of God, who often declareth his mind to Mankind by those Teachers, and proclaims by their mouths (as it were by sound of Trumpet) how terrible he is, and will be to wilful and impenitent sinners. That's the sum of his Argumentation, or the Scope of this his last undertaking with Job.
