2. For some special part of mans life. Mans life is divided into several ages. Some divide it into four, alluding to the four parts of the year. Some, into five, infancy, childhood, youth, mans-estate, and old-age; comparing them to the five acts of an interlude, the Prologue whereof is infancy, and the Epilogue, decrepit old-age. Others into seven, in allusion to the seven Planets.

3. It is taken for an age of men, or the state of the time present.1 So in the Gospel, Christ calleth the Scribes and Pharisees, A generation of vipers, and an adulterous generation. As if he had said; You of this time and age of the world, are a viperous and an adulterous brood. So Psal. 14.5. God is in the generation of the righteous: That is, he favours that generation, or sort of men; God is in all generations, but such he delights in most; the wicked have cause enough to fear those, in whom God delights.
