Synopsis

Excerpt from The Book of Job; Translated From the Hebrew: With Notes Explanatory, Illustrative, and Critical

Bishop warburton thus facetiously expresses himself in a letter to Dr. Hurd Poor Job 1 it was his eternal fate to be persecuted by his friends. His three friends passed sentence of condemnation upon him, and he has been executed in effigy ever since. He was first bound to the stake by along catena of Greek Fathers then tortured by Pineda then strangled by Caryl and afterwards cut up by Wesley and ana tomised by Garnett. I only acted the tender part of his wife, and was for making short work of him. But he was ordained, I think, by a fate like that of Prometheus, to lie still upon his dunghill, and to have his brains sucked out by owls.
