How else could it be a birth,--a creation?
Ib.p.

170.
This natural life is compared, even by natural men, to the vainest things, and scarce find they things light enough to express it vain; and as it is here called grass, so they compare the generations of men to the leaves of trees.

* * * 'Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.

He cometh forth like a flower and is cut down.

Job' xiv.
