For they are all the work of his hands.
As if he had said, God cannot but deal impartially with all, because all are the work of his hands: what reason hath he to respect one more then another, seeing the one is no more to him then t'other, they are all the work of his hands. Man as man is the off-spring of God (Acts 17.28.) He is also the work of his hands; that is, man is made by his power; As man descendeth from man, so he is called the fruit of the womb; but as man is the off-spring of God, so he is called the work of his hands, and his hands have wrought the poor man as well as the rich; They are all the work of his hands in a two-fold respect.

Man as man is the off-spring of God (Acts 17.28.) He is also the work of his hands; that is, man is made by his power; As man descendeth from man, so he is called the fruit of the womb; but as man is the off-spring of God, so he is called the worke of his hands, and his hands have wrought the poor man as well as the rich; They are all the work of his hands in a two-fold respect.
First, In their natural constitution; God hath moulded them in the same fashion, he hath given each of them a body and a soul; A body framed of the same parts, a soul consisting of the same powers. God hath bestowed as much care and cost upon the making of a poor mans body and soul, as upon the rich mans. The richest man in the world, cannot boast that he hath any one member in his body or faculty in his soul, more then a poor man hath.
