I might write many things in this clay out of which man was made; but I have met with other passages already of the same subject, especially in the fourth Chapter, vers. 19. in those words,1 Whose foundation is in the dust; which Text being near of the same importance and interpretation with this in hand, I shall rather refer the Reader thither, then insist upon the same deductions and inferences a second time. Take only this in general. Our reflection upon the matter out of which we are extracted, should lesson us to low and modest thoughts of our selves: for what is lower then the earth. We say, He that lieth upon the earth, hath not whence to fall; It is as true, He that riseth out of the earth, hath nothing in himself whence he should be lifted up.

Remember that thou hast made me as the clay, and Wilt thou bring me into the dust again?
