How much more.
Some read, Much less: So Mr. Broughton, Much less the unclean and loathsome. The Original may bear either (as also a third reading, Surely then) without any impeachment to the scope of the place. The heavens are not clean in his sight: Much less is abominable and filthy man clean in his sight. Again,1 The heavens are not clean in his sight; how much more abominable and filthy is man in his sight. We may take it also as a direct inference without any comparison, either from the greater or the less. The heavens are not clean in his sight; surely then, man is abominable and filthy.

We may take it also as a direct inference without any comparison, either from the greater or the lesse. The heavens are not cleane in his sight; surely then, man is abominable and filthy.
