Doct. 1. He that shall ponder in his heart, and consider the estate of the sons of men, shall find that God would have men to say they are as beasts, verse 18.19. That which Solomon upon serious pondering in his heart the estates of the sons of men, did resolve and say it, that God ⟨p. 72⟩doth this or that about them, that they might see themselves to be as beasts: the same another Christian pondering the matter in his heart may discern, resolve it, and say it, Psal. 49, 12, 20, and 73, 22. Prov. 30.2. more brutish then any man; which implieth that First, all men are brutish, Secondly, he more then others. When God will clear it to Peter that he might converse with all sorts of men, he shows him in a vision that God would have him eat of all beasts, Acto 10.12.13, 28.
