Verse 32. For he is not a man as I am, &c.
He doth not say, God is not such a man as I am, but God is not a man as I am. One man may say unto another man, Thou art not such a man as I am: Every different degree or endowment among men, may bear a man out in saying so, and pride will prompt a man to say so, when he is not in degree better, but in kind worse then other men. Such was the language of the Pharisee (Luk. 18.11.) God, I thank thee, I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this Publican: yet no man can say to another man, Thou art not a man as I am.
