let_v we_o run_v over_o again_o from_o the_o beginning_n the_o foresay_a branch_n and_o let_v we_o search_v in_o every_o one_o how_o either_o the_o power_n of_o the_o maker_n be_v plain_o knewne_v by_o the_o number_n of_o thing_n make_v or_o his_o wisdom_n by_o the_o beauty_n or_o his_o mercy_n by_o the_o profitableness_n and_o because_o the_o number_n be_v the_o first_o in_o part_v it_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o first_o in_o search_v therefore_o mark_v well_o what_o i_o shall_v say_v ❧_o the_o first_o branch_n when_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o make_v something_o how_o great_a power_n be_v it_o yea_o what_o sense_n can_v perceive_v what_o power_n it_o be_v so_o of_o nothing_o to_o make_v something_o yea_o some_o one_o thing_n although_o very_o little_a if_o than_o it_o be_v such_o power_n of_o nothing_o to_o make_v some_o very_a little_a thing_n that_o it_o can_v be_v take_v by_o any_o sense_n what_o power_n be_v it_o to_o be_v think_v to_o be_v to_o make_v so_o many_o thing_n how_o many_o number_v the_o star_n of_o the_o sky_n the_o sand_n of_o the_o sea_n the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o drop_n of_o water_n the_o feather_n of_o bird_n the_o seal_n of_o fish_n the_o heir_n of_o beast_n the_o grass_n of_o field_n the_o leaf_n or_o fruit_n of_o tree_n and_o thousand_o thousand_o more_o that_o can_v be_v reckon_v thing_n that_o can_v be_v number_v be_v like_a thing_n unlike_a thing_n or_o both_o together_o which_o be_v like_o thing_n thing_n of_o one_o kind_n as_o man_n and_o man_n lion_n and_o lion_n egle_n and_o egle_n baboon_n and_o baboon_n every_o of_o these_o and_o other_o such_o in_o their_o kind_n be_v like_a which_o be_v unlike_a thing_n such_o as_o be_v endue_v with_o diverse_a quality_n as_o a_o man_n and_o a_o lion_n a_o lion_n &_o a_o eagle_n a_o eagle_n and_o a_o babian_a these_o be_v one_o unlike_a to_o another_o which_o be_v of_o both_o sort_n all_o thing_n view_v together_o now_o mark_v how_o there_o be_v innumerable_a in_o thing_n like_a thing_n unlike_a and_o thing_n of_o both_o sort_n man_n be_v one_o kind_n but_o there_o be_v not_o one_o only_a man_n for_o who_o can_v set_v down_o the_o just_a number_n of_o man_n lion_n be_v one_o kind_n but_o there_o be_v not_o one_o only_a lion_n for_o who_o can_v set_v down_o the_o just_a number_n of_o lion_n and_o so_o there_o be_v infinite_a kind_n of_o thing_n in_o other_o thing_n without_o number_n and_o in_o every_o kind_n infinite_a like_o thing_n and_o altogether_o infinite_a &_o without_o number_n but_o peradventure_o some_o will_v say_v that_o he_o that_o make_v so_o many_o thing_n make_v they_o little_a thing_n but_o can_v not_o make_v many_o and_o great_a together_o let_v he_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v to_o measure_v the_o hugeness_n of_o the_o

thou_o shall_v do_v better_a to_o espy_v that_o occasion_n be_v minister_v unto_o thou_o to_o praise_n god_o in_o that_o thou_o can_v not_o do_v it_o to_o those_o that_o consider_v of_o the_o number_n of_o the_o creature_n we_o have_v give_v a_o kind_n of_o taste_n now_o will_v we_o go_v about_o to_o set_v forth_o the_o beauty_n of_o the_o same_o although_o the_o beauty_n of_o the_o creature_n

if_o a_o man_n be_v able_a full_o to_o search_v out_o he_o shall_v find_v with_o all_o they_o the_o marvellous_a light_n of_o god_n his_o wisdom_n and_o will_v god_n i_o can_v as_o plain_o spy_v

amaze_v and_o marvel_v we_o cry_v out_o with_o good_a king_n david_n how_o marvelous_a be_v thy_o work_n oh_o lord_n in_o thy_o wisdom_n have_v thou_o make_v all_o thing_n thou_o have_v delight_v i_o with_o thy_o handy_a work_v of_o thy_o hand_n and_o in_o the_o work_n of_o thy_o hand_n will_v i_o rejoice_v a_o unwise_a man_n do_v not_o know_v this_o and_o a_o fool_n do_v not_o consider_v of_o it_o for_o the_o whole_a world_n which_o be_v know_v by_o sense_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o book_n write_v with_o the_o finger_n of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v make_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o every_o y_fw-es creature_n be_v as_o it_o be_v certain_a letter_n find_v out_o not_o by_o the_o skill_n of_o man_n but_o ordain_v by_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n to_o make_v know_v and_o as_o it_o be_v after_o a_o certain_a manner_n to_o signify_v the_o invisible_a wisdom_n of_o god_n and_o as_o a_o unlearned_a man_n see_v a_o book_n open_a he_o look_v upon_o the_o letter_n but_o know_v not_o what_o they_o mean_v so_o a_o foolish_a man_n and_o carnal_a do_v not_o understand_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o god_n but_o in_o these_o see_v creature_n he_o behold_v the_o outward_a shape_n but_o do_v not_o perceive_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n in_o they_o but_o he_o that_o be_v of_o the_o spirit_n and_o can_v give_v true_a judgement_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o that_o that_o be_v outward_a do_v behold_v the_o beauty_n of_o the_o work_n and_o inward_o spy_v how_o marvelous_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o maker_n be_v and_o therefore_o there_o be_v none_o but_o he_o marvel_v at_o god_o his_o work_n for_o the_o foolish_a and_o unwise_a man_n do_v wonder_n at_o only_a the_o outward_a shape_n but_o the_o wise_a man_n by_o that_o which_o he_o see_v outward_o do_v pick_v out_o the_o deep_a knowledge_n of_o god_n his_o wisdom_n as_o if_o in_o one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o write_n one_o man_n praise_v the_o colour_n and_o proportion_n of_o the_o letter_n and_o a_o other_o the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n therefore_o it_o be_v very_o good_a continual_o to_o behold_v and_o look_v upon_o the_o work_n of_o god_n but_o so_o he_o which_o can_v turn_v the_o beauty_n of_o bodily_a thing_n to_o a_o heavenly_a use_n for_o therefore_o the_o word_n of_o god_n do_v so_o often_o move_v we_o to_o think_v upon_o the_o wonderful_a work_n of_o god_n that_o by_o the_o outward_a thing_n which_o we_o see_v we_o may_v come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o inward_a truth_n whereupon_o king_n david_n do_v tell_v it_o often_o as_o a_o great_a matter_n that_o he_o have_v so_o do_v and_o promise_v still_o so_o to_o do_v say_v i_o have_v remember_v thy_o day_n of_o old_a and_o have_v muse_v upon_o the_o work_n of_o thy_o hand_n and_o will_v be_v exercise_v in_o thy_o wisdom_n hereupon_o also_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n do_v say_v to_o certain_a which_o not_o know_v their_o creator_n do_v give_v unto_o the_o creature_n the_o honour_n due_a to_o god_n who_o have_v measure_v the_o water_n in_o his_o fist_n and_o compass_v the_o heaven_n with_o his_o span_n and_o comprehend_v the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n with_o his_o finger_n or_o have_v weigh_v the_o mountain_n in_o his_o skayle_n and_o the_o hill_n in_o balance_n he_o that_o sit_v upon_o the_o circle_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o before_o who_o the_o inhabitant_n thereof_o be_v as_o grasshopper_n he_o that_o stretch_v out_o the_o heaven_n as_o a_o curtain_n &_o spread_v they_o out_o as_o a_o tent_n to_o dwell_v in_o and_o again_o king_n david_n say_v in_o another_o place_n reprove_v the_o worship_v of_o image_n all_o the_o god_n of_o the_o gentile_n be_v devil_n but_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v the_o heaven_n why_o then_o do_v you_o think_v that_o the_o work_n of_o god_n be_v so_o plain_o advouch_v to_o maintain_v the_o true_a goohead_n and_o that_o it_o be_v say_v the_o lord_n make_v the_o heaven_n but_o because_o the_o creature_n well_o consider_v do_v teach_v a_o man_n to_o know_v his_o creator_n let_v we_o also_o therefore_o note_v the_o wonderful_a work_n of_o god_n &_o by_o the_o bewtyfulnesse_n of_o the_o thing_n make_v let_v we_o seek_v out_o that_o beautiful_a most_o beautiful_a of_o all_o beautiful_a thing_n which_o be_v so_o marvelous_a &_o unspeakable_a that_o all_o beauty_n in_o respect_n of_o it_o be_v nothing_o and_o if_o it_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o deed_n yet_o in_o no_o point_n to_o be_v compare_v to_o it_o and_o because_o we_o have_v say_v before_o
