Yet before I proceed to that, I shall touch upon another reading of these words, as referring unto man, which doth not so much carry a reproof of mans dullness, as a commendation of Gods goodness, thus; God speaks once, yea twice, 1if man perceiveth it not. As if he had said, If man be so weak and dark, so dull and slow of apprehension, as not to perceive Gods mind at his first speaking, yet God is usually so gracious and condescending as to speak twice, or a second time, even to that man. This reading doth exceedingly exalt and set forth the goodness and graciousness of God; and we have frequent experience of it, that when God speaks once, and finds creatures dull of hearing, he speaks a second time.

Our reading gives in these words as a charge of mans darkness and slowness to apprehend the meaning of God speaking to us either in his word or works. God speaks once, yea twice, Yet man perceiveth it not.
