foresay_a testimony_n

royal_a prophet_n invit_v they_o all_o to_o praise_v the_o lord_n as_o well_o as_o the_o heaven_n yea_o he_o proceed_v far_a when_o he_o say_v that_o all_o of_o they_o perform_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o when_o moses_n and_o isay_n call_v the_o heaven_n to_o record_v they_o do_v as_o much_o to_o the_o earth_n as_o if_o it_o have_v ear_n to_o hear_v &_o understand_v for_o to_o understand_v creature_n why_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v sometime_o direct_v to_o insensible_a creature_n we_o must_v then_o know_v that_o the_o prophet_n use_v this_o manner_n of_o speech_n do_v speak_v to_o insensible_a creature_n and_o which_o be_v without_o understanding_n the_o better_a to_o move_v man_n to_o their_o duty_n and_o the_o more_o to_o induce_v they_o to_o acknowledge_v their_o ingratitude_n and_o rebellion_n against_o god_n by_o render_v to_o he_o that_o honour_n and_o reverence_n which_o they_o shall_v bear_v to_o his_o majesty_n which_o be_v of_o such_o weight_n and_o virtue_n that_o the_o very_a sense_n and_o feel_n thereof_o reach_v to_o all_o nature_n and_o to_o every_o kind_n of_o creature_n whereby_o i_o must_v learn_v how_o great_a reproach_n shall_v redound_v to_o man_n and_o the_o number_n of_o witness_n that_o shall_v appear_v against_o they_o if_o they_o will_v be_v more_o deaf_a at_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n than_o the_o deaf_a creature_n and_o if_o they_o will_v be_v less_o move_v with_o his_o presence_n and_o hardly_o acknowledge_v it_o than_o those_o his_o work_n which_o be_v far_a remote_a from_o reason_n understanding_n and_o in_o truth_n what_o shame_n may_v this_o goodly_a order_n which_o we_o whilom_o speak_v of_o to_o be_v among_o the_o celestial_a body_n every_o day_n breed_v in_o we_o for_o if_o they_o have_v a_o soul_n life_n sense_n and_o understanding_n we_o may_v less_o wonder_v to_o see_v they_o ever_o continue_v and_o maintain_v such_o a_o constitute_v order_n because_o we_o may_v ascribe_v the_o good_a government_n of_o they_o to_o the_o reason_n and_o wisdom_n which_o may_v be_v resident_a in_o they_o but_o if_o they_o have_v neither_o sense_n nor_o understanding_n by_o mean_n whereof_o they_o may_v attain_v to_o that_o intelligence_n &_o wisdom_n for_o to_o know_v how_o to_o guide_v &_o govern_v themselves_o so_o much_o more_o just_a occasion_n have_v be_v give_v to_o the_o prophet_n to_o appeal_v to_o they_o as_o witness_n and_o judge_n against_o man_n and_o leave_v to_o look_v to_o other_o creature_n see_v that_o they_o show_v in_o effect_n that_o they_o do_v better_o understand_v the_o voice_n and_o word_n of_o god_n whereby_o they_o have_v be_v create_v and_o dispose_v and_o which_o have_v appoint_v and_o ordain_v the_o estate_n wherein_o they_o serve_v then_o man_n do_v who_o he_o have_v make_v partaker_n of_o reason_n and_o understanding_n wherefore_o we_o will_v here_o note_v that_o when_o the_o prophet_n do_v exhort_v the_o insensible_a creature_n to_o praise_n god_n it_o be_v chief_o for_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v in_o keep_v every_o one_o their_o order_n they_o glorify_v god_n after_o their_o fashion_n and_o according_a to_o their_o nature_n because_o they_o be_v like_o preacher_n of_o his_o puissance_n wisdom_n and_o bounty_n and_o as_o witness_n of_o they_o and_o of_o his_o glory_n towards_o man_n and_o the_o other_o reason_n be_v so_o much_o the_o better_a to_o induce_v man_n to_o praise_v their_o creator_n as_o it_o behoove_v they_o but_o for_o the_o philosopher_n yea_o the_o pythagorian_o &_o academic_n which_o proceed_v far_a concern_v the_o life_n reason_n and_o understanding_n which_o they_o contemplate_v in_o the_o sphere_n say_v that_o they_o be_v replenish_v with_o soul_n lodge_v in_o they_o and_o by_o which_o many_o of_o our_o divine_n also_o will_v have_v to_o be_v mean_v the_o angel_n and_o celestial_a spirit_n who_o say_v they_o move_v the_o heaven_n but_o what_o and_o how_o many_o there_o be_v of_o these_o

goddess_n of_o the_o ancient_a idolater_n which_o the_o pagan_a philosopher_n both_o greek_n and_o latin_n have_v long_o ago_o give_v to_o the_o star_n and_o planet_n not_o in_o french_a the_o name_n of_o the_o day_n be_v so_o but_o in_o our_o tongue_n not_o but_o this_o shall_v seem_v no_o more_o strange_a then_o that_o we_o yet_o observe_v in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n the_o name_n which_o

because_o the_o latin_a translator_n of_o the_o common_a version_n of_o the_o bible_n have_v use_v in_o this_o text_n the_o word_n firmament_n follow_v the_o translation_n of_o the_o greek_n and_o
