And it was the Evening these were those intermediate Natures which tend unto the nature of Fishes and it was the morning these were the middle Natures which became flying Creatures and this was the fifth day or the fifth Class Order or sort of Creatures Vers 24 And Elohim or the dijudicating divinity or God said let the Earth bring forth various Psyches or the living Creature after his kind viz Cattle and Flocks and Worms or creeping things and wild Beasts or beast of the Eath after his kind and it was so or so done Vers 25 And Elohim or the dijudicating divinity or God made divers wild Beasts or the Beast of the Earth after his kind and divers Herds of Cattel after his kind and divers Worms cre●ping with feet on the Earth or every thing that creepeth upon the Earth after his kind and Elohim or the dijudicating divinity or God saw that it was good and that every thing had its uses Verse 26. And Elohim or God said to the Soul of the Messiah Let us make Man-kind that is let us transplace the superiour human Soul into a certain Matter destinated for it in our Image after our likeness that as there is a communion betwixt us or our selves so also betwixt them and this same subtil Matter let somewhat arise or spring forth our of which afterwards may follow like effects and let them viz. these Souls which are called Men have dominion over the Fish of the Sea and over the Fowl of the Air or of Heaven and over the Cattel or Flocks and over all the Earth and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the Earth or over all wild Beasts and over all Worms which creep with feet upon the Earth Vers 27.
