From and upon all these considerations, the Lord would have Job sit down and acknowledge, that it must needs be extreme rashness in him to find fault with any of his Dispensations, or plead with him about them: The general argument may be framed thus;
From and upon all these considerations, the Lord would have Job sit down and acknowledge, that it must needs be extream rashness in him to find fault with any of his Dispensations, or plead with him about them: The general argument may be fram'd thus;
He is blame-worthy, that finds fault with or complains about any thing in the Government of God, or will adventure to dispute, and debate with him about it; unless he have somewhat like the Eternity, the Wisdom, the Might, and Power of God.
But Job thou hast nothing like the Eternity of God, for thou art but of the other day; thou hast nothing like the Omniscience of God, for thou art ignorant of what God hath done, and destitute of counsel what to do thy self: Thou hast nothing like the Power of God, the Arm of God, thou art weak, thou canst not make the least worm, the least fly; surely, then thou canst do nothing towards the making of a world: Therefore thou art blame worthy, for finding fault with, and complaining about what God hath done.
