what_o i_o have_v or_o shall_v suggest_v second_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o though_o the_o sun_n and_o other_o planet_n be_v not_o part_v of_o the_o creation_n which_o moses_n relate_v yet_o they_o be_v

what_o be_v not_o true_a and_o yet_o deliver_v it_o as_o true_a as_o to_o what_o this_o worthy_a author_n say_v that_o here_o be_v a_o compliance_n with_o the_o common_a notion_n viz._n that_o the_o sun_n and_o star_n be_v part_n of_o the_o cloud_n or_o belong_v to_o the_o region_n of_o the_o air_n he_o make_v the_o vulgar_a more_o simple_a and_o ignorant_a than_o they_o be_v to_o show_v himself_o more_o wise_a than_o other_o in_o his_o interpretation_n of_o the_o place_n and_o especial_o he_o forget_v here_o though_o he_o mention_v it_o before_o that_o the_o jewish_a rabble_n be_v come_v late_o from_o egypt_n and_o there_o we_o know_v there_o be_v seldom_o any_o cloud_n there_o be_v constant_o a_o clear_a and_o serene_a sky_n so_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v be_v breed_v up_o with_o this_o notion_n viz._n that_o the_o sun_n be_v seat_v in_o the_o firmament_n of_o the_o air_n where_o the_o cloud_n be_v this_o be_v not_o think_v of_o by_o our_o author_n

sun_n moon_n and_o star_n in_o his_o diary_n of_o the_o creation_n yet_o these_o great_a luminary_n of_o the_o world_n be_v make_v before_o and_o only_o now_o place_v or_o seem_v to_o be_v place_v in_o our_o firmament_n p._n 14_o 15._o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a say_v he_o to_o believe_v that_o these_o body_n be_v then_o first_o create_v when_o moses_n make_v mention_n of_o they_o p._n 14._o which_o be_v against_o the_o whole_a tenor_n scope_n and_o coherence_n of_o the_o chapter_n and_o contrary_a to_o the_o style_n and_o expression_n in_o every_o part_n of_o it_o which_o all_o run_v in_o the_o preter-perfect_a tense_n not_o in_o the_o more_o than_o perfect_a tense_n as_o he_o will_v have_v it_o understand_v who_o can_v think_v that_o the_o narrative_a concern_v the_o four_o day_n work_v be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o a_o different_a way_n from_o all_o the_o rest_n all_o thing_n belong_v to_o the_o other_o day_n work_n be_v set_v down_o exact_o and_o according_a to_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n but_o here_o he_o fancy_v it_o be_v otherwise_o the_o stile_n vary_v and_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o this_o day_n work_v so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o double_a sabbath_n according_a to_o he_o god_n rest_v from_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n on_o the_o four_o and_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n but_o however_o to_o fill_v up_o the_o space_n moses_n say_v something_o and_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v something_o do_v and_o this_o he_o do_v to_o suit_v himself_o to_o the_o capacity_n of_o the_o illiterate_a and_o vulgar_a whence_o it_o may_v be_v infer_v that_o in_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o chapter_n he_o turn_v himself_o to_o the_o learned_a and_o wise_a but_o then_o the_o author_n differ_v from_o himself_o for_o he_o have_v inform_v we_o before_o that_o among_o the_o jew_n at_o that_o time_n there_o be_v no_o philosopher_n but_o that_o they_o be_v all_o idiot_n and_o blockhead_n these_o be_v the_o strange_a and_o wild_a

shall_v take_v place_n rather_o than_o he_o will_v adhere_v to_o the_o genuine_a sense_n of_o the_o text._n and_o he_o himself_o acknowledge_v that_o all_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o chapter_n
