Theo. Who can deny, but that Isaiah was a great Physician, and did better know the Nature of man, then ever did Aesculapius, Hippocrates, or Galen, which are esteemed the princes of Physic? For in their lives, they never made so good & true Anatomy of man, as the Prophet hath done in this place, even now alleged, neither did they ever describe so truly & lively, all the parts of the body, to make us the better to know and understand all the nature thereof.1 For he maketh an Anatomy both of body and soul, wherein he so aptly describeth all the parts with their properties, that there is nothing that can be added unto it. He first showeth generally, what whole man is, then cometh he to the principal parts of him: that is, the head and the hart: and from them, to the tong and the mouth: the hands & the feet, to the end his Anatomy might be perfect, & for further declaration thereof he saith:2 judgement is turned backward, and justice standeth a far ⟨image 26⟩of, for truth is fallen in the ••reate, and equity cannot enter. Yea truth faileth, and he that refraineth from evil, maketh him self a pray, and when the Lord saw it, it displeased him that there was no Judgement. And when he saw that there was no man, he wondered that none would offer himself: therefore his arm did save it, and his righteousness it self did sustain it.
