First, Thus; Who for him hath visited the earth? As if it had been said, Hath God set any to visit, or to look to the earth for him, as if himself stood by and did nothing; God useth the power of man, he sets up Magistrates to work for him; but he never puts the work out of his own hand, nor doth he need any hand to help him in that work, though he useth many: and though he saith, By me (yea for me) Kings reign, yet we may say with Elihu (in the notion now expressed) Who for him hath visited the earth? that's a good reading.

Secondly, Who over him doth visit the earth? Is God any mans Vicegerent? is he a Lord Deputy, or a Viceroy? No, there is no man visits the earth over him, for, (as we render clearly) Who hath given him a Charge over the earth? As if he had said, If God be an unjust Judge, is there any superior Judge to whom we may appeal for remedy or redress of our injuries? Who over him visiteth, or, who hath given him a charge over the earth.
