But, saith Job, Will he plead against me with this great power? All this power God hath (and this power he can put forth) but he ⟨p. 342⟩will not put it forth against me (saith Job 1.) And what was Job that he should be thus confident, and rise up to such a strong assurance that God would not use his strength against him? Job was a godly man, a man fearing God, a man perfect and upright, a man full of faith, even full of faith (though he lived in dark times, and under dark dispensations, yet, I say, he was a man full of faith) in the Redeemer. Now it is no wonder if a man of this character, a man thus qualified and privileged had this confidence, and was much assured that he should prosper and speed in it, That God would not plead against him with his great power.
