), as, in the deluge, every living substance was destroyed that was upon the face of the ground, Gen. vii. The creatures were made for man's use, and therefore when he has perverted the use of them, and made them subject to vanity, God, to show the greatness of his displeasure against the sin of man, involves them in his punishment.
