The making of man importeth his being: The fashioning of him, the outward formality of his being. Man receives not only his ⟨p. 492⟩nature, but his figure from God. The word signifies to trim or polish,1 to do a thing curiously and completely (Gen. 1.31.) God saw all that he had made, and behold it was very good. He saw all with delight and highest content: for, he had put all into a composure of most exquisite comeliness, and perfect beauty. A due and proper fashion to the essence of comeliness. Thine hands have not only made, but fashioned me, and that not in part only, but as it followeth, 2Together round about.
