their_o favourite_n they_o be_v according_a to_o the_o language_n of_o this_o text_n favourable_a to_o some_o above_o many_o either_o because_o they_o be_v beautiful_a and_o goodly_a person_n or_o because_o they_o be_v man_n of_o excellent_a speech_n prudence_n and_o comportment_n all_o godly_a man_n be_v god_n favourite_n he_o be_v favourable_a to_o they_o not_o only_o above_o many_o man_n in_o the_o world_n but_o above_o all_o the_o man_n of_o this_o world_n who_o have_v their_o portion_n in_o this_o life_n and_o he_o therefore_o favour_v they_o because_o they_o be_v the_o purchase_n of_o his_o son_n and_o the_o workmanship_n of_o his_o spirit_n convince_a they_o of_o and_o humble_v they_o for_o their_o sin_n as_o also_o create_v they_o after_o god_n in_o righteousness_n and_o

he_o by_o the_o messenger_n of_o god_n he_o no_o soon_o make_v suit_n to_o god_n but_o be_v hear_v hence_o note_v god_n first_o show_v regard_n to_o the_o person_n then_o to_o the_o offering_n to_o prayer_n and_o service_n this_o truth_n may_v be_v understand_v two_o way_n first_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n when_o abel_n and_o cain_n bring_v their_o sacrifice_n or_o offering_n god_n have_v respect_n to_o abel_n and_o his_o offering_n but_o to_o cain_n and_o his_o offering_n have_v no_o respect_n gen._n 4.4_o 5._o abel_n be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n cain_n be_v not_o so_o the_o apostle_n state_n their_o case_n heb._n 11.4_o by_o faith_n abel_n offer_v unto_o god_n a_o more_o excellent_a sacrifice_n than_o cain_n by_o which_o he_o obtain_v witness_v that_o he_o his_o person_n be_v righteous_a god_n testify_v of_o his_o gift_n and_o what_o do_v he_o testify_v sure_o that_o his_o gift_n be_v bring_v in_o faith_n and_o be_v present_v from_o a_o principle_n of_o grace_n which_o cain_n have_v not_o and_o therefore_o god_n do_v not_o approve_o testify_v of_o his_o gift_n till_o we_o close_o with_o god_n by_o faith_n god_n do_v not_o close_o with_o our_o service_n by_o acceptance_n second_o as_o this_o be_v true_a in_o reference_n to_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n so_o in_o reference_n to_o somewhat_o in_o the_o present_a act_n or_o disposition_n of_o those_o who_o be_v gracious_a it_o be_v possible_a for_o a_o godly_a man_n to_o act_v so_o sinful_o and_o to_o be_v so_o ill_o dispose_v to_o the_o frame_n of_o his_o heart_n that_o god_n may_v seem_v to_o deny_v acceptation_n to_o his_o prayer_n and_o service_n david_n say_v psal_n 66.18_o if_o i_o regard_v iniquity_n in_o my_o heart_n the_o lord_n will_v not_o hear_v i_o and_o god_n tell_v the_o jew_n his_o covenant_n people_n isa_n 1.15_o when_o you_o make_v many_o prayer_n i_o will_v not_o hear_v your_o hand_n be_v full_a of_o blood_n thus_o while_o they_o who_o have_v a_o state_n interest_n in_o christ_n walk_v unworthy_a of_o it_o they_o be_v under_o the_o frown_n of_o god_n and_o his_o dis-acceptation_n of_o all_o their_o duty_n till_o they_o renew_v their_o repentance_n and_o humble_a themselves_o and_o i_o conceive_v this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o the_o sick_a man_n in_o the_o text_n in_o who_o doubtless_o he_o aim_v at_o job_n who_o elihu_n grant_v to_o be_v a_o godly_a man_n yet_o under_o great_a distemper_n of_o spirit_n which_o must_v be_v heal_v &_o remove_v before_o he_o can_v so_o call_v upon_o or_o pray_v unto_o god_n as_o he_o will_v be_v favourable_a to_o he_o or_o give_v he_o testimony_n of_o his_o favour_n thus_o we_o see_v in_o both_o these_o reference_n how_o the_o person_n of_o a_o man_n must_v be_v respect_v and_o in_o favour_n before_o his_o prayer_n can_v for_o as_o we_o can_v have_v no_o benefit_n by_o the_o intercession_n of_o christ_n till_o we_o accept_v his_o person_n so_o god_n will_v not_o give_v we_o any_o benefit_n by_o our_o supplication_n till_o himself_o accept_v our_o person_n which_o he_o do_v only_o in_o christ_n many_o will_v be_v save_v by_o christ_n they_o will_v be_v pardon_v and_o get_v to_o heaven_n they_o will_v enjoy_v the_o benefit_n and_o privilege_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v for_o his_o people_n but_o they_o neglect_v christ_n himself_o nor_o do_v they_o think_v of_o close_v with_o his_o person_n now_o i_o say_v as_o unless_o we_o have_v respect_n to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n and_o desire_v union_n with_o he_o we_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o his_o benefit_n so_o unless_o god_n have_v respect_n to_o our_o person_n we_o get_v no_o benefit_n no_o answer_n of_o our_o prayer_n three_o note_v to_o have_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n or_o to_o be_v accept_v with_o he_o be_v the_o top_n and_o sum_n of_o all_o desirable_a favour_n it_o be_v the_o alpha_n and_o omega_n the_o first_o and_o last_o of_o all_o other_o favour_n to_o find_v god_n favourable_a to_o we_o if_o god_n be_v favourable_a to_o we_o it_o matter_n not_o much_o who_o frown_v upon_o we_o or_o what_o foul_a weather_n we_o meet_v with_o in_o this_o world_n and_o as_o to_o be_v in_o his_o favour_n shall_v be_v the_o chief_a of_o all_o our_o desire_n so_o to_o be_v assure_v of_o his_o favour_n shall_v be_v the_o chief_a of_o all_o our_o study_n and_o care_n 2_o cor._n 5.7_o herein_o say_v the_o

lust_n may_v be_v in_o the_o stock_n too_o thus_o he_o tell_v the_o church_n hos_fw-la 2.6_o behold_v i_o will_v hedge_v up_o thy_o way_n with_o thorn_n and_o make_v a_o wall_n that_o she_o shall_v not_o find_v her_o path_n the_o thorne-hedge_n be_v as_o a_o stock_n to_o stop_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o walk_v disorderly_a nor_o act_v inordinate_o as_o they_o have_v do_v this_o course_n god_n take_v with_o many_o he_o put_v they_o in_o the_o stock_n that_o he_o may_v keep_v they_o from_o the_o way_n of_o sin_n or_o give_v check_v to_o some_o unruly_a affection_n when_o we_o need_v this_o discipline_n we_o may_v look_v for_o it_o and_o it_o be_v a_o mercy_n to_o be_v under_o it_o will_v you_o not_o keep_v order_n say_v god_n than_o you_o shall_v to_o the_o stock_n second_o affliction_n be_v a_o restraint_n to_o our_o comfort_n as_o well_o as_o to_o our_o corruption_n as_o this_o expression_n note_v the_o take_n of_o lust_n short_a so_o the_o take_n of_o we_o short_a as_o to_o lawful_a liberty_n and_o enjoyment_n sickness_n upon_o the_o body_n sour_v all_o that_o this_o world_n have_v to_o we_o and_o will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o use_v much_o of_o it_o how_o much_o soever_o of_o it_o we_o possess_v many_o have_v enough_o to_o eat_v who_o never_o eat_v in_o pleasure_n as_o job_n say_v chap_n 21.25_o and_o when_o in_o our_o prosperity_n we_o run_v out_o and_o take_v unlawful_a liberty_n god_n send_v a_o affliction_n as_o his_o stock_n to_o hold_v we_o from_o our_o lawful_a liberty_n when_o we_o have_v have_v vain_a out-going_n and_o excess_n of_o spirit_n all_o go_v well_o with_o we_o and_o comfortable_o in_o the_o world_n we_o may_v expect_v the_o stock_n next_o or_o that_o thing_n shall_v go_v ill_a with_o we_o yet_o for_o our_o good_a three_o to_o be_v in_o the_o stock_n be_v a_o disgraceful_a thing_n it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o pain_n and_o a_o restraint_n but_o it_o be_v a_o reproach_n he_o that_o be_v in_o the_o stock_n or_o in_o the_o pillory_n be_v expose_v to_o shame_n every_o one_o point_n at_o he_o and_o many_o revile_v he_o affliction_n as_o to_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n carry_v a_o disgrace_n with_o it_o or_o at_o least_o subject_n the_o person_n afflict_v to_o disgrace_n and_o it_o have_v be_v show_v from_o several_a passage_n of_o this_o book_n how_o job_n affliction_n be_v interpret_v to_o his_o disgrace_n and_o he_o look_v upon_o as_o i_o may_v say_v like_o a_o vagabond_n in_o the_o stock_n that_o god_n have_v bring_v he_o thither_o and_o clap_v he_o by_o the_o heel_n for_o his_o misdemeanour_n though_o affliction_n diminish_v no_o man_n honour_n or_o esteem_v with_o god_n or_o with_o his_o people_n a_o afflict_a saint_n be_v as_o precious_a and_o honourable_a in_o their_o eye_n as_o when_o in_o the_o great_a prosperity_n the_o cloud_n of_o trouble_n can_v eclipse_v the_o glory_n of_o grace_n nor_o render_v the_o gracious_a contemptible_a to_o those_o who_o know_v they_o such_o yet_o as_o to_o the_o eye_n and_o opinion_n of_o worldly_a man_n they_o do_v job_n say_v his_o affliction_n be_v a_o witness_n against_o he_o as_o if_o all_o be_v not_o right_a with_o he_o yea_o as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v very_o unrighteous_a the_o stock_n be_v a_o witness_n against_o a_o man_n that_o sure_o he_o have_v do_v some_o ill_a thing_n thus_o you_o see_v there_o be_v pain_n in_o affliction_n restraint_n in_o affliction_n disgrace_n in_o affliction_n especial_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o to_o be_v in_o affliction_n be_v to_o be_v as_o in_o the_o stock_n he_o put_v my_o foot_n in_o the_o stock_n he_o mark_v all_o my_o path_n which_o some_o expound_v as_o if_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v let_v he_o out_o of_o the_o stock_n yet_o he_o be_v but_o like_o a_o

watch_v all_o our_o path_n take_v this_o caution_n from_o it_o as_o the_o lord_n mark_v all_o our_o path_n so_o it_o will_v be_v our_o wisdom_n to_o mark_v our_o own_o path_n if_o the_o lord_n eye_v

this_o aught_o to_o be_v a_o very_a cogent_a argument_n because_o god_n mark_v they_o he_o mark_v all_o our_o path_n therefore_o as_o the_o apostle_n give_v counsel_n and_o admonition_n eph_n 5.15_o
