First, Man and man are of a measure.
Let us not make a God of any man, no nor an Angel. The Apostle Jude reproves those who had the persons of men in admiration. Men will be less to us then was expected, if we expect too much from them, or more from them, then is meet. For though one man may have a little more height and largeness of parts and gifts, in that which is either acquired or infused, then his neighbour, yet what man is there in the world, but hath his match, & shall find his measure in some other men; yea, though some men exceedingly out-go others, yet their equals may be found among men, no man out-goes all men: The best of men have but the measure of a man.
