conclude_v my_o treatise_n upon_o the_o work_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o propagation_n of_o the_o seed_n royal_a in_o the_o work_n of_o nature_n as_o god_n have_v create_v and_o decree_v it_o to_o

my_o conclusion_n will_v be_v large_a than_o my_o book_n but_o to_o be_v short_a i_o find_v that_o if_o a_o man_n can_v right_o know_v himself_o he_o may_v comprehend_v all_o thing_n else_o in_o the_o creation_n yea_o the_o creator_n himself_o all_o wise_a man_n witness_v this_o truth_n against_o such_o as_o be_v atheist_n either_o in_o opinion_n or_o practice_n who_o hold_v such_o a_o sleepy-headed_n conceit_n that_o the_o creation_n be_v from_o eternity_n and_o that_o all_o thing_n come_v from_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o the_o scripture_n make_v know_v to_o the_o weakness_n of_o our_o capacity_n how_o it_o be_v create_v but_o they_o that_o be_v atheist_n believe_v not_o the_o bible_n then_o let_v they_o learn_v how_o to_o confute_v or_o confirm_v these_o observation_n follow_v can_v thou_o behold_v any_o building_n or_o artificial_a work_n so_o rare_a but_o present_o conclude_v that_o the_o band_n of_o a_o artificer_n be_v there_o can_v thou_o see_v the_o earth_n so_o great_a the_o firmament_n so_o wide_o the_o ocean_n sea_n how_o they_o ebb_v and_o flow_v by_o time_n and_o tide_n but_o present_o in_o thy_o faithless_a heart_n confess_v and_o say_v that_o this_o great_a work_n be_v undo_v on_o one_o day_n till_o one_o by_o wisdom_n glory_n power_n and_o strength_n form_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n at_o the_o

the_o cornation-seed_n into_o a_o hurtful_a stink_a hemlock_n weed_n then_o herein_o god_n law_n thou_o may_v plain_o see_v that_o his_o work_n must_v be_v acknowledge_v in_o each_o herb_n flower_n
