Again, The power of God may be taken two ways; First, for his strength, or his power of doing and executing; secondly, for his prerogative authority, or his power of commanding and ruling; we may interpret it here of the latter; will God deal with me by his prerogative power, think you? will he oppress me with his mere authority?¹ I have another opinion of God; surely he will not do so; For he is good and gracious, and he will attemper his prerogative with pity, & his great power with much mercy. Will he plead against me with this great power? Jobs question is a confident negation (such negative interrogations are frequent in Scripture) will he? is, he will not plead against me with his great power; but Job is not satisfied that his speech carrieth a negation in it, and therefore lest any should not fully enough understand ⟨p. 339⟩him so, he expresseth his negative; will he plead with me with his great power; no, His power is not, nor ever will it be against me. He will take some other course with me, he will deal with me upon the account of goodness and mercy, not upon the account of power; He will not break me a bruised reed, nor quench me who am but smoking flax, he will rather bind me up and cherish the least spark which he perceiveth alive in me. Will he plead against me with his great power?

Will he plead against me with this great power? Jobs question is a confident negation (such negative interrogations are frequent in Scripture) will he? is, he will not plead against me with his great power; but Job is not satisfied that his speech carrieth a negation in it, and therefore lest any should not fully enough understand ⟨p. 339⟩
