the Artificial day all the rest they say is called the morning improperly Secondly By these gradations to the morning it is evident that the first darkness was the root or womb of the morning and therefore at last it was called Morning SECT 3. Proving that the Morning in all likelihood doth begin at mid-night besides the former certain grounds from the exact beginning and ending of the Evening FIrst I will endeavor to prove that the morning doth begin at mid-night by an argument drawn from Job 26. 7. compared with Gen. 1. 2. Job saith That God stretcheth out the North upon the empty and saith Moses The Earth was empty and void namely as long as darkness was upon the face of the deep But as soon as the light was created the earth could not be said to be empty and void any longer for then the deep was adorned with the light as with a most glorious ornament Object 4. The first Darkness did continue twelve hours upon the face of the deep after the general matter called Earth was created Or thus how long was the Earth empty and void before the light was created Answ The answer is from Job That the Earth was empty and void all the space of time that the North point is stretched out upon a Compass Dial namely the space of six hours for the North point on a Compass Dial doth stretch it self out untill it meet with the beginning of the East point the four ends of the two Lines of Longitude and Latitude do make the four Cardinal Points of the Compass North East South and West Hence it follows that the North point is stretched out to the East point and that is just six hours by the Compass Dyal and so long saith Job the Globe was empty but as soon as God created Light out of Darkness which began to appear by degrees first By a Twi-light and then shined forth at the East point then the Earth was no longer empty and void but it was adorued with the light If any man can give a better Interpretation for the stretching out the North upon the Empty I shall bee glad to see it But if the first Darkness had been twelve hours long then Job should have said that God stretched out the West point as well as the North point upon the Empty but Job doth not say so but only that he stretched out the North upon the Empty and therefore it follows 1 That the first Darkness was not twelve hours but only six hours long upon the face of the deep before the light was created 2 Hence it follows that the first half of that twelve hours Darkness that succeeded the Artificial Day did make up the first darkness to be a just Night of twelve hours and after this manner both these parts of Darkness did meet together at the North point as I have exemplified the matter upon a Compass Dyal and the North Land in Jer. 23. 8. may according to the Hebrew be read from the Land of darkness And why else doth the Prophet in Psal 89. 12. begin the time of the first Creation in order from the North point but to remember us where and how long the darkness did continue upon the face of the deep after the Earth was created before the light was created And so likewise for this Reason Job doth teach us in what order we must place the four ends of the two Lines of Latitude and Longitude now called the foure Cardinall Points of the Compass by placing a man in this order to view the Globe 1 He calleth the North point the left hand 2 He calleth the South point the right hand 3 He calleth the East point before 4 He calleth the West point behind See Tremelius for this in Job 23. 8 9. So then He that desires to behold the Globe in a right order how the God of Nature did divide it and quarter it must place the North point of the Globe at his left hand the East before the South at his right hand and the West behind See Ains in Psal 89. 13. and in Numb 2. 3 29. 2 The holy Scriptures do often direct us to observe the foure ends of the two Lines of Latitude and Longitude 1 Because they divide the whole earth into four quarters 2 Because they divide the heavens into four quarters And in this respect the four quarters of the Earth are sometimes called the four wings or the four corners of the Earth Revel 7. 1. Numb 24. 17. Isa 11. 12. Ezek. 7. 2. Job 37. 3. and 38. 13. 2 The Heavens are divided into four quarters and in this respect the four Winds are said to come from the four quarters of Heaven Jer. 49. 36. Ezek. 37. 9. Dan. 7. 2. and 8. 2. Zach. 2. 6. Mat. 24. 31. And when the Lines of Latitude and Longitude are drawn upon a Compass Dyal or upon a Globe then they make the four winds in the four quarters of Heaven to lie thus and to be called thus North-East South-East South-west North-west And thus the Holy Scripture doth force us to observe the various use of these two Lines of Longitude and Latitude and therefore doubtless Job was not ignorant but spake as a man of knowledge when he said that God stretched out the North upon the Empty First He was not ignorant of the North point Nor secondly How far it stretched Nor thirdly of the time of the Globes emptiness 3 Ezekiel doth direct us to take notice of the North point as the first in order of the four Cardinal points because he doth first begin the division of the Land of Canaan from the North quarter and so he ends it with the West quarter read Ezek. 47. from ver 15. to the end of the Chapter and in this order also the Lord was pleased to let Moses take a view of the land he stood in the Land of Gilead and from thence in the first place he viewed Dan which was the furthest Northward and Northally in Galilee which lay also Northward Secondly Then he viewed the land of Ephraim and half Manasseh which lay Eastward from him in the middle of the Land Thirdly Then he viewed the Land of Judah to the South And fourthly Then he viewed the Land of Jerico which lay in the West of Canaan See Ains in Deut. 34. 1 2 3. Secondly I will indeavor to prove that the Morning began with the first darkness and that the first darkness must be placed at the North point by another phrase of Job for Job doth tell us that when the winds have purged the Air and made it clear from clouds and vapours that then out of the North a golden light doth shew it self Job 37. 22. Our eie-sight may witness the truth of this point for in a clear Morning before Sun-rising we may often see a golden list of light stretching it self from the North point to the East and again after Sun-set we may often see a golden list
