For he is not a man as I am But one infinitely superior to me in majesty and power, wisdom and justice. That I should answer him That I should presume to debate my cause with him, or answer his allegations against me. That we should come together in judgment Face to face, to plead upon equal terms. Neither is there any days-man Or, umpire; that might lay his hand upon us both Order and govern us in pleading, and oblige us to stand to his decision. The laying the hand on both parties implies a coercive power to enforce the execution of his decrees. This no one could have over the Almighty: it was in vain, therefore, to contend with him. Our Lord Jesus Christ is now the blessed daysman, who has mediated between heaven and earth, has laid his hand upon us both: to him the Father hath committed all judgment. But this was not made so clear then as it is now by the gospel, which leaves no room for such a complaint as this.
