Secondly,1 Every man hath a particular generation. There is some emphasis in this:2 David in his generation: For men drop not into the world at all adventure: but every man hath his own time appointed, when to come into the world, and when to go out, some in one time, and some in another. Therefore the times wherein they live are foreknown of God: he hath set down when such a man shall be borne, in such an age of the world; so long he shall live, such work he shall do, and when he hath ⟨p. 176⟩done his work, he shall be taken away hence, and another shall come, and stand up in his place. So every man hath his own generation designed, and appointed, and ordained by God himself from all eternity; not only his generation, but all the circumstances of it, the very place of his abode, the time, and season, and country where he shall live, all are set down.
