Elihu expresseth God, by the work of creation, or by his relation to God as a creator; Elihu doth but include himself in the number of those whom God hath made, he doth not exclude others from being made by God, as much as himself, while he saith, My Maker. God is the maker of every man, and is so in a three-fold consideration.
Elihu expresseth God, by the work of creation, or by his relation to God as a creator; Elihu doth but include himselfe in the number of those whom God hath made, he doth not exclude others from being made by God, as much as himselfe, while he saith, My Maker. God is the maker of every man, and is so in a three-fold consideration.
First, He is the maker of every man, in his natural constitution, as he is a man, consisting of a reasonable soul and body. I am fearfully and wonderfully made, said David, with respect to both, (Psal: 119.14.)
First, He is the maker of every man, in his naturall constitution, as he is a man, consisting of a reasonable soule and body. I am fearefully and wonderfully made, sayd David, with respect to both, (Psal: 119.14.)
Secondly, God is every mans maker, in his civill state, as well as in his natural; he formeth us up into such and such a condition, as rich, or as poor, as high, or as low, as Governors or as governed, according to the pleasure of his own will. (Prov. 22.2.) ⟨p. 133⟩The rich and the poor meet together, the Lord is the maker of them both; he meaneth it not only, if at all in that place, that the Lord hath made them both as men, but he hath made the one a rich man, and the other a poor man. Thus the Lord is the maker of them both. And as the Lord makes men rich, so Great and honourable. (Psal: 75.6.) Promotion cometh not from the East, nor from the West, nor from the South; It cometh from none of these parts or points of earth or heaven, it cometh from nothing under heaven, but from the God of heaven; God is the Judge, he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
