The answere.

I answere, that God meant not vtterly to reiect Eliphaz & his friends; for if he had so determined, he would neuer haue accepted Iobs praiers for them. But because they had con∣temned Iob, and preferred their owne righteousnesse; God to giue a testimonie of Iobs innocencie, true faith, and patience, and to confound the proud conceites of Eliphas and his fel∣lowes, sent them to Iob,* 1.1 and said that hee woulde accept his praiers for them. Which my exposition is grounded on these words; my wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friendes; for yee haue not spoken of me the thing that is right, like my seruaunt Iob. As if God had saide; yee haue offended much more then my seruaunt Iob, in that yee condemned him by his outward afflictions, and did not comfort and solace him with my mercies. And therefore doe I send you vnto him, that you may know that he hath greater fauour in my sight.* 1.2 Thus God shewed the faith of Abraham, praying for the Sodomites, of Moses for the Israelites, and of Paule for the 276. persons in the ship with him.
