behold_v they_o be_v very_o good_a the_o former_a i_o shall_v very_o brief_o dispatch_v the_o latter_a i_o shall_v insist_v upon_o 1._o of_o the_o first_o it_o can_v be_v that_o ever_o any_o thing_n

nothing_o which_o be_v register_v in_o moses_n natural_a history_n of_o the_o creation_n can_v possible_o lie_v undiscovered_a unto_o he_o no_o not_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n above_o which_o

and_o delve_v or_o because_o not_o so_o soon_o perfect_v by_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v therefore_o omit_v altogether_o in_o the_o precede_a narration_n i_o say_v there_o be_v never_o any_o

that_o day_n fall_v multitude_n of_o they_o other_o because_o that_o day_n be_v a_o work_n of_o division_n for_o then_o god_n make_v the_o firmament_n and_o divide_v the_o water_n which_o be_v under_o the_o firmament_n from_o the_o water_n which_o be_v above_o the_o firmament_n verse_n 7._o or_o last_o and_o most_o probable_o because_o the_o work_n which_o be_v begin_v that_o day_n be_v not_o so_o
