Job32:4
Verſe 4. Now Elihu had waited till Job h[illegible: 1 letter]d ſpoken] Yea, though his ſpeech was very long, yet he heard him out, though himſelf were with child to ſpeak. Broughton rendreth it, waited to ſpeak with Job; he would not thruſt in till they had all done their diſcourſes. This was his modeſty, though a man of ſingular abilities. Raram facit virtus cum ſcientia mixturam: To blame then ſurely was Gregory, for thinking ſo ill, and wrighting ſo harſhly of this good young man, as if he had been proud, and arrogant: deſcanting to that purpoſe upon his Name, Countrey, and Kindred.
Becauſe they were elder than he] And therefore ought of right to have the precedency of ſpeech: though it appeareth by all that followeth, that in this controverſie he ſaw further into it, judged righter, and rebuked Job with more gravity, and wiſdom then any of them, ſo that Job was fully convinced, and made no reply at all: no more than Jo[illegible: 1 letter]ah did, when God ſet him down, chap. 4.11. ſo forcible are right words.
