Lastly, Are thy days as the days of man? 1may have reference to man himself; man is as mutable a creature, as his time is: and man is mutable, not only in his condition, but in his affection: now he loveth, anon he hateth, now he rejoiceth, anon he sorroweth; now he esteemeth, anon he rejecteth; now he embraceth, anon he contemneth, Lord (saith Job) I know thou art not in thy days as man is in his; Where thou art once a friend, thou art always a friend; whom thou lovest thou lovest for ever. Thy affections are as unchangeable as thy nature.
Lastly, Are thy daies as the daies of man? 1may have reference to man himself; man is as mutable a creature, as his time is: and man is mutable, not only in his condition, but in his affection: now he loveth, anon he hateth, now he rejoyceth, anon he sorroweth; now he esteemeth, anon he rejecteth; now he imbraceth, anon he contemneth, Lord (saith Job) I know thou art not in thy daies as man is in his; Where thou art once a friend, thou art alwaies a friend; whom thou lovest thou lovest for ever. Thy affections are as unchangeable as thy nature.
