As when we have spoken our all of God, and for God, there is yet more to be spoken of him, and for him (God is an everlasting Argument, a Subject that can never be finished) so they who have begun (with an honest heart and right aims) to speak for God, will hold on and never give over to speak for him, while they have a call to it. A soul touched with true zeal, finds it hard to make an end, when once he hath begun so good, and so honourable a service, as to speak for God. So much of the second Argument used by Elihu to gain attention: Suffer me a little, and I will show thee what I have yet to speak on Gods behalf. He spake for God. The third followeth.

This (I say) is Elihu's third Argument brought to the same purpose as before.
