First, Personally or individually, that is, he worketh thus oftentimes with the same man, God is put to renew his actings more then once with one and the same man, because he will not bow nor obey at first.
Secondly, We may take this word man specially as implying several men, or men of all sorts, as well as any one man of a sort. That manner of speaking is frequent in the old Testament (Job 1.4.) And his sons went and feasted in their houses, man his day, 1or every one his day. So (Jon: 1.7.) And they said, every one to his fellow, or man to his fellow, so here God worketh these things oftentimes with man, that is, with several men, as seemeth good to him. The speech is distributive. For though we are not to understand it so largely, as if God dealt thus with every particular man, yet he deals thus with many men, even with as many as himself pleaseth, or hath purposed. Lo, All these things worketh God oftentimes with man.
Secondly, We may take this word man specially as implying severall men, or men of all sorts, as well as any one man of a sort. That manner of speaking is frequent in the old Testament (Job 1.4.) And his sons went and feasted in their houses, man his day, 1or every one his day. So (Jon: 1.7.) And they sayd, every one to his fellow, or man to his fellow, so here God worketh these things oftentimes with man, that is, with severall men, as seemeth good to him. The speech is distributive. For though we are not to understand it so largely, as if God dealt thus with every particular man, yet he deales thus with many men, even with as many as himselfe pleaseth, or hath purposed. Lo, All these things worketh God oftentimes with man.
