So Job; a great and a large and a comfortable Estate that God gave unto him, but first he is plundered and spoiled of all, a sentence of death passes upon all his comforts; And is not this Gods dealing with his People still? look I pray into the 11. of the Revelation, and ye shall see how the two witnesses are to fare; After three days and an half, (at the 11. v.) the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet, and great fear fell upon them which saw them and ⟨p. 156⟩they heard a great voice from Heaven; saying unto them, 1come up hither; But I pray mark, they are killed first; at the latter end of the 7. verse, He shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them, and their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great City which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt; and they of the People, and Kindreds, and Tongues, and Nations, shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves: There is a Spirit of life enters into them afterwards. I but first of all a sentence of death passes upon them; this is Gods way and manner of dealing with his People, with the children of Abraham, with those that are true Believers.
