WE reade in the third of Genesis, that when Almightie GOD pronounced the heauie sen∣tence of his great displeasure, conceiued against our first Father Adam, for tasting the fruite of the forbidden Tree, hee closed vp the end of his speech with this Period; telling Adam, that (as concer∣ning his body) hee was created of no better thing then the very dust of the earth: and* 1.1 that into dust he should be turned againe.
VVee reade also, that the Prophet Da∣uid, in the 144. psalme, demaunded of God this question, saying; Lord, what is Man,* 1.2 that thou regardest him? or the sonne of Man, that thou thinkest vpon him?
And, being sufficiently instructed by the holy Ghost, hee presently giueth aunswere in the same place to his owne question, say∣ing: * Man is like to vanitie; his dayes are* 1.3 like a shadow that vanisheth.
