What is man, &c. The Hebrew is, Miserable man. Miserable is his name, and misery is with him, frail is his name, and frailty is with him. Hence Mr. Broughton translates, What is woeful man to be cleared?

What is man that he should be clean?
What is man that he should be cleane?
The words contain a great and necessary truth,1 but because we met with it, Chap. 14.4. where the point was opened, and the impossibility of self-cleanness cleared from those words: Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? (which question answers for Job, that he was positive for the universal pollution of the nature of man) I shall not therefore stay upon it; take only this brief hint. Here is a strong proof of original sin, we are clean but not of our selves; we are clean under a fourfold notion.
