:roduced
by
the pen-man
of
this
bootie
in
a
great
paon
,
both
with
Job
and
his
three
friends
,and
he
gives
us
an account why
he
was in
fuch
a beate
of
paffion
with
both
(chap:

a.
)
Then
was
kindled
the wrathof
Elihu;againft
Job
was his
wrath kindled
,
becaufe
he
bad
juflified
himfelfe
rather
then
God.
Alfo againft
his
three
friends
was
his
wrath kindled
,
becaufe they
had
found
no anfwer,
and
yet
had
condemned
Job,
It
remaines therefore,
that
Elihu was
the man,
zuho
found
an
anfwer
in
this
great
difficulty
and
yet
condemned
not
Job.
And
indeed
he condemned
him not
(as
his
friends
had done)
as
a
man
imper-
fe5l
&-
crooked
in
his
wayes,as a
man
that feared

Clod
&efchewed
not

or
for
thefe
things
Elihu didnet
condernne
Job,though
his
wrath was
kindled
againft him
:
he condemned
him
only
for
this
,becaufe
be
complained
fo
much
of
the
feverity
of
Gods
dealings
with
him,
and
fo,
by
confequence
juftified
himfelfe
rather then
God.
And in
that
poynt
or
for

condemned
him
as

as
