He putteth the Lord in mind of his former mercy, that he might obtain more, and saith he is a creature, even a man with a soul, and not a beast; therefore give knowledge, &c. wherein he confesseth that if the Lord give not knowledge to him, he were better be a beast: and such are all those that are but only men: for all the pleasures in this life are not1 worthy the sorrow in the life to come, Eccles. 11. Therefore if men have not their reason sanctified by the word in faith and love to serve God: they are no better than beasts.
