Hast thou eyes of flesh?
Flesh by a Synecdoche is put for the whole nature of man. ⟨p. 452⟩The Word was made flesh (Joh. 1.14.) not body or soul, but Flesh, that is, man consisting of soul and body. Thus here, eyes of fl•sh, that is, mans eyes. And so the later clause of the verse is an exposition of the former.1 When he saith, Hast thou eyes of flesh? It is no more then this, Dost thou see as man seeth? To have an eye of flesh, is to judge according to the flesh, and to see as man seeth, is to see no more then man.
