day_n than_o god_n do_v not_o yet_o daily_o create_v in_o this_o world_n because_o there_o will_v then_o be_v a_o contradiction_n in_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n under_o which_o be_v include_v the_o follow_a day_n to_o wit_n because_o he_o rest_v from_o create_v upon_o the_o seven_o day_n but_o if_o god_n shall_v still_o create_v after_o the_o seven_o day_n to_o what_o purpose_n then_o shall_v this_o blessing_n and_o sanctification_n be_v or_o if_o they_o say_v that_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v holy_a than_o the_o rest_n because_o god_n do_v then_o rest_n from_o the_o work_n of_o create_v i_o then_o ask_v these_o man_n whether_o it_o be_v their_o opinion_n that_o god_n never_o create_v in_o this_o world_n upon_o the_o seven_o day_n as_o also_o whether_o god_n do_v not_o as_o well_o rest_n upon_o the_o other_o day_n when_o he_o have_v create_v a_o new_a be_v in_o this_o world_n for_o we_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o all_o man_n be_v not_o bear_v upon_o one_o and_o the_o same_o day_n but_o that_o upon_o all_o the_o seven_o day_n man_n be_v bear_v in_o this_o world_n and_o consequent_o according_a to_o the_o modern_a common_a opinion_n that_o god_n create_v spirit_n upon_o all_o day_n without_o distinction_n what_o reason_n can_v there_o then_o be_v if_o god_n create_v upon_o the_o four_o and_o five_o day_n a_o spirit_n etc._n etc._n and_o then_o cease_v why_o shall_v he_o not_o bless_v the_o four_o or_o five_o day_n as_o well_o as_o the_o seven_o day_n see_v that_o he_o rest_v on_o it_o as_o well_o as_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n but_o to_o pass_v by_o all_o further_a dispute_n the_o sense_n of_o these_o word_n can_v without_o contradiction_n signify_v any_o thing_n else_o but_o that_o god_n cease_v upon_o the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n or_o rest_v from_o it_o bless_v that_o day_n to_o wit_n appoint_v the_o creature_n from_o that_o time_n forward_o to_o multiply_v and_o so_o sanctify_v it_o that_o be_v set_v it_o apart_o from_o the_o time_n of_o creation_n as_o not_o appertain_v thereunto_o and_o to_o what_o purpose_n i_o pray_v do_v god_n bless_v and_o sanctify_v that_o day_n as_o the_o dutch_a bible_n have_v it_o it_o be_v to_o perfect_v or_o thorough_o to_o finish_v all_o to_o wit_n that_o the_o creature_n may_v now_o begin_v to_o work_n but_o that_o which_o god_n have_v give_v they_o in_o the_o creation_n to_o work_v forth_o viz._n that_o they_o shall_v be_v fruitful_a and_o multiply_v etc._n etc._n see_v then_o that_o god_n have_v sanctify_v or_o set_v apart_o the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o day_n of_o the_o creation_n for_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d kadash_n proper_o signify_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o set_v a_o thing_n so_o apart_o that_o it_o belong_v no_o more_o to_o that_o whereunto_o it_o do_v at_o first_o appertain_v it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o god_n create_v no_o more_o in_o this_o world_n or_o else_o that_o will_v be_v no_o reason_n why_o god_n shall_v have_v sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n more_o than_o any_o other_o day_n furthermore_o the_o work_n create_v be_v not_o any_o where_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o i_o know_v of_o use_v concern_v thing_n that_o be_v produce_v by_o generation_n nor_o be_v it_o the_o modern_a way_n of_o speech_n to_o say_v this_o day_n a_o man_n be_v create_v but_o bear_v but_o some_o will_v perhaps_o ask_v if_o god_n create_v all_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o this_o world_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o creation_n why_o be_v not_o all_o thing_n that_o to_o this_o world_n belong_v make_v visible_a at_o first_o in_o the_o creation_n as_o for_o example_n wherefore_o do_v not_o god_n produce_v so_o many_o man_n beast_n tree_n etc._n etc._n at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o creation_n as_o be_v appertain_v to_o this_o world_n in_o answer_n that_o true_a it_o be_v that_o if_o we_o do_v only_o look_v at_o the_o power_n of_o god_n we_o may_v be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o all_o the_o creature_n may_v have_v be_v make_v visible_a at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o creation_n at_o once_o but_o see_v we_o can_v consider_v the_o almightiness_n of_o god_n without_o his_o other_o attribute_n these_o must_v be_v so_o consider_v that_o they_o do_v agree_v in_o one_o now_o nothing_o be_v more_o certain_a than_o that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o almightiness_n freewill_n etc._n etc._n of_o god_n a_o wisdom_n according_a to_o §_o 22._o and_o 30._o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o god_n do_v nothing_o but_o in_o order_n and_o not_o confuse_o and_o see_v we_o find_v every_o day_n by_o all_o creature_n how_o wise_o exact_o and_o orderly_o all_o thing_n do_v proceed_v the_o one_o out_o of_o the_o other_o in_o their_o season_n that_o all_o thing_n shall_v not_o be_v bring_v forth_o at_o once_o and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n but_o in_o process_n of_o time_n and_o consequent_o the_o answer_n to_o that_o question_n why_o do_v not_o god_n make_v all_o thing_n visible_a in_o the_o creation_n be_v this_o to_o wit_n that_o god_n according_a to_o his_o own_o wisdom_n and_o the_o order_n which_o he_o keep_v in_o all_o thing_n have_v so_o create_v all_o thing_n in_o this_o world_n that_o the_o one_o creature_n be_v hide_v in_o the_o other_o each_o be_v in_o its_o appoint_a season_n to_o come_v forth_o out_o of_o the_o other_o and_o not_o altogether_o at_o once_o but_o it_o will_v perhaps_o be_v yet_o further_o say_v in_o opposition_n to_o this_o doctrine_n that_o all_o thing_n be_v indeed_o create_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o that_o now_o there_o be_v no_o more_o new_a being_n create_v in_o this_o world_n that_o the_o body_n be_v indeed_o generate_v by_o the_o parent_n but_o that_o god_n create_v the_o spirit_n and_o consequent_o that_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o god_n create_v all_o that_o which_o to_o this_o world_n belong_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o its_o creation_n but_o because_o this_o objection_n be_v of_o great_a consequence_n and_o proper_o belong_v to_o the_o birth_n of_o man_n therefore_o we_o will_v answer_v it_o in_o that_o place_n where_o we_o treat_v of_o the_o soul_n §_o 33._o for_o as_o much_o then_o as_o we_o have_v already_o prove_v more_o than_o sufficient_o that_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o do_v at_o any_o time_n appear_v in_o this_o world_n be_v in_o the_o begin_n at_o the_o creation_n it_o be_v likewise_o certain_a that_o every_o creature_n have_v receive_v a_o particular_a own_o or_o proper_a work_n or_o capacity_n to_o work_n out_o those_o thing_n which_o the_o creator_n have_v appoint_v it_o to_o work_v out_o for_o if_o the_o creature_n have_v no_o own_o work_n that_o be_v if_o god_n have_v not_o communicate_v to_o his_o creature_n a_o capacity_n or_o power_n to_o work_v out_o something_o of_o its_o self_n what_o wisdom_n will_v there_o be_v in_o the_o creation_n and_o what_o profit_n will_v it_o be_v to_o the_o creature_n to_o be_v create_v very_o none_n at_o all_o because_o then_o the_o creature_n will_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o mere_a instrument_n that_o can_v work_v nothing_o except_o the_o workman_n do_v perpetual_o move_v it_o and_o then_o no_o creature_n can_v be_v say_v to_o do_v any_o thing_n but_o only_o god_n the_o creator_n may_v be_v say_v to_o work_v and_o not_o the_o creature_n now_o if_o this_o be_v so_o there_o will_v be_v no_o wisdom_n in_o the_o creation_n because_o all_o the_o creature_n be_v void_a of_o all_o capacity_n of_o act_v of_o themselves_o and_o all_o that_o they_o do_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o god_n work_v the_o creature_n can_v be_v of_o no_o use_n or_o service_n at_o all_o and_o as_o mere_a nothing_o and_o god_n will_v only_o be_v say_v to_o show_v unto_o himself_o after_o how_o many_o sort_n of_o way_n he_o can_v work_v just_a as_o one_o that_o play_v with_o puppet_n show_v unto_o himself_o how_o many_o sort_n of_o motion_n he_o can_v make_v with_o they_o while_o the_o image_n or_o puppet_n themselves_o have_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o it_o but_o he_o alone_o that_o move_v they_o to_o and_o fro_o which_o manner_n of_o do_v be_v no_o way_n consistent_a with_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n be_v a_o mere_a puppet_n play_n of_o child_n that_o will_v be_v of_o no_o use_n or_o service_n but_o god_n only_o play_v with_o himself_o a_o conceit_n most_o dishonourable_a to_o the_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n but_o beside_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v most_o evident_o show_v that_o god_n produce_v the_o creature_n to_o that_o very_a end_n that_o it_o may_v have_v a_o own_o out-working_a for_o gen._n 1.6_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o firmament_n of_o heaven_n be_v make_v to_o make_v a_o division_n betwixt_o the_o water_n which_o be_v
first_o production_n for_o consider_v the_o world_n as_o one_o entire_a piece_n of_o workmanship_n it_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v create_v unless_o all_o the_o part_n thereof_o together_o with_o it_o be_v create_v as_o for_o example_n this_o be_v a_o constant_a truth_n that_o the_o whole_a consist_v in_o its_o part_n and_o that_o all_o the_o part_n do_v make_v out_o the_o whole_a and_o that_o if_o but_o one_o of_o the_o part_n be_v want_v the_o whole_a be_v defective_a or_o it_o be_v no_o more_o the_o whole_a so_o also_o this_o world_n consist_v of_o all_o its_o part_n and_o all_o the_o part_n thereof_o make_v up_o the_o world_n the_o world_n can_v to_o this_o day_n be_v say_v to_o be_v create_v because_o there_o be_v according_a to_o this_o hypothesis_n daily_o new_a part_n thereof_o create_v but_o then_o there_o will_v at_o the_o creation_n have_v only_o be_v some_o part_n of_o the_o world_n create_v and_o consequent_o the_o world_n will_v then_o not_o have_v be_v a_o whole_a or_o complete_a world_n at_o the_o time_n of_o its_o creation_n but_o only_o a_o piece_n of_o a_o world_n it_o be_v also_o contrary_a to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o there_o shall_v still_o daily_o be_v thing_n create_v in_o this_o world_n for_o gen._n 1.31_o it_o be_v express_o say_v and_o god_n see_v all_o that_o he_o have_v make_v and_o behold_v it_o be_v very_o good_a that_o be_v it_o be_v in_o a_o state_n fit_a to_o obtain_v that_o which_o god_n aim_v at_o thereby_o now_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o nothing_o can_v be_v good_a with_o respect_n to_o god_n but_o that_o which_o have_v all_o the_o qualification_n requisite_a thereunto_o now_o if_o all_o those_o being_n which_o be_v requisite_a to_o the_o work_n of_o this_o creation_n be_v not_o then_o in_o be_v than_o what_o god_n aim_v at_o in_o the_o creation_n can_v not_o be_v effect_v or_o accomplish_v by_o it_o because_o the_o creation_n will_v then_o have_v be_v defective_a and_o those_o part_n which_o be_v to_o cooperate_v in_o the_o creation_n will_v have_v be_v want_v therein_o and_o so_o according_a to_o these_o man_n hypothesis_n it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o all_o that_o god_n make_v be_v very_o good_a again_o it_o be_v say_v gen._n 2.1_o thus_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n be_v finish_v and_o all_o the_o host_n of_o they_o when_o it_o be_v here_o say_v that_o they_o be_v finish_v or_o

of_o this_o hypothesis_n to_o wit_n that_o new_a being_n be_v daily_o create_v in_o this_o world_n we_o must_v here_o consider_v what_o be_v say_v in_o gen._n 2.2_o now_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n god_n end_v his_o work_n which_o he_o have_v make_v no_o man_n be_v so_o blind_a but_o he_o see_v that_o by_o the_o word_n work_v here_o be_v mean_v the_o work_n of_o the_o

that_o god_n add_v nothing_o more_o unto_o this_o world_n for_o what_o else_o can_v rest_a signify_v here_o see_v god_n be_v never_o weary_a yea_o be_v continual_o work_v according_a to_o §_o 20._o be_v it_o not_o than_o most_o true_a that_o there_o be_v no_o new_a being_n every_o day_n create_v but_o that_o they_o be_v all_o create_v together_o in_o the_o creation_n at_o once_o but_o it_o will_v be_v possible_o say_v when_o god_n create_v the_o world_n he_o do_v indeed_o create_v all_o those_o sort_n of_o being_n that_o be_v necessary_a to_o it_o so_o that_o he_o now_o create_v no_o new_a sort_n of_o being_n but_o such_o sort_n as_o be_v at_o first_o create_v in_o the_o creation_n a_o fine_a invention_n indeed_o and_o which_o be_v pretty_a subtle_a that_o they_o may_v seem_v to_o answer_v something_o but_o let_v we_o see_v of_o what_o force_n it_o be_v to_o these_o that_o say_v that_o all_o the_o species_n of_o being_n that_o now_o be_v in_o the_o world_n be_v indeed_o at_o the_o creation_n but_o that_o god_n now_o still_o create_v of_o the_o same_o species_n daily_o as_o be_v then_o create_v to_o they_o i_o say_v and_o ask_v whether_o god_n do_v not_o cause_v they_o of_o those_o sort_n or_o species_n which_o they_o say_v he_o now_o create_v to_o be_v produce_v out_o of_o those_o which_o be_v in_o be_v at_o the_o creation_n daily_o experience_n teach_v we_o this_o that_o no_o creature_n be_v produce_v but_o by_o generation_n of_o its_o like_a or_o from_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v fit_a to_o bring_v forth_o as_o for_o example_n out_o of_o the_o earth_n plant_n tree_n and_o flesh_n we_o see_v infect_v come_v forth_o so_o that_o the_o essential_a of_o those_o infect_v be_v before_o hide_v in_o that_o which_o bring_v they_o forth_o for_o it_o be_v impossible_a and_o contrary_a to_o the_o whole_a frame_n of_o nature_n that_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v bear_v of_o any_o other_o thing_n if_o the_o birth_n be_v not_o hide_v in_o the_o producer_n see_v then_o that_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v now_o bear_v do_v come_v forth_o of_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o the_o creation_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o the_o essence_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o do_v now_o appear_v or_o that_o ever_o shall_v appear_v be_v at_o once_o create_v together_o with_o the_o world_n and_o be_v not_o now_o first_o create_v because_o the_o creation_n be_v a_o work_n immediate_o produce_v by_o god_n and_o generation_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o creature_n bring_v forth_o of_o that_o which_o for_o a_o time_n be_v hide_v in_o they_o and_o since_o that_o nothing_o be_v now_o produce_v in_o this_o world_n but_o by_o generation_n it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o god_n do_v yet_o daily_o create_v thing_n in_o this_o world_n they_o that_o will_v prove_v that_o god_n do_v daily_o create_v being_n that_o be_v not_o at_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n must_v prove_v that_o they_o ever_o find_v any_o creature_n that_o be_v not_o produce_v either_o out_o of_o the_o earth_n or_o water_n or_o such_o like_a which_o be_v impossible_a because_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o nature_n show_v the_o contrary_a therefore_o those_o that_o say_v that_o god_n do_v yet_o every_o day_n create_v thing_n in_o this_o world_n they_o confound_v the_o work_n of_o generation_n with_o that_o of_o creation_n and_o do_v mistake_v the_o one_o for_o the_o other_o once_o more_o if_o god_n do_v still_o create_v being_n in_o this_o world_n that_o be_v not_o at_o once_o create_v in_o the_o creation_n why_o shall_v god_n have_v bless_v they_o gen._n 1._o with_o the_o blessing_n of_o fertility_n and_o multiplication_n that_o be_v of_o generation_n with_o their_o like_a that_o blessing_n will_v very_o not_o have_v be_v true_a because_o according_a to_o they_o god_n do_v still_o daily_o create_v the_o being_n of_o thing_n and_o so_o generation_n will_v have_v no_o place_n the_o contrary_a of_o which_o yet_o be_v daily_o see_v to_o wit_n that_o the_o creature_n

of_o these_o word_n because_o that_o in_o it_o god_n rest_v that_o be_v because_o he_o cease_v from_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n therefore_o he_o bless_a and_o sanctify_v

that_o it_o the_o body_n be_v sow_o in_o corruption_n it_o be_v raise_v in_o incorruption_n it_o be_v sow_o in_o dishonour_n it_o be_v raise_v in_o glory_n it_o be_v sow_o in_o weakness_n it_o be_v

be_v make_v spiritual_a then_o consequent_o its_o principle_n must_v be_v a_o spiritual_a be_v that_o the_o water_n be_v a_o spiritual_a essence_n i_o have_v show_v in_o my_o observation_n concern_v man_n §_o 20._o but_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o have_v be_v show_v §_o 97.98_o that_o all_o creature_n consist_v of_o a_o fiery_a and_o watery_a essence_n and_o that_o these_o essence_n be_v spiritual_a according_a to_o §_o 100.101_o 102._o it_o follow_v that_o the_o essentiality_n of_o body_n can_v be_v annihilate_v because_o the_o essentiality_n from_o whence_o body_n original_o do_v proceed_v have_v be_v in_o god_n without_o beginning_n of_o which_o see_v more_o §_o 24.25_o and_o 85._o §_o 104._o see_v therefore_o tha_z the_o creature_n have_v their_o original_a from_o these_o two_o spiritual_a essence_n the_o next_o thing_n we_o be_v to_o inquire_v into_o be_v what_o difference_n there_o be_v betwixt_o the_o fiery_a and_o watery_a essence_n it_o have_v be_v show_v §_o 100_o that_o fire_n be_v the_o life_n of_o all_o creature_n that_o be_v that_o which_o support_v and_o uphold_v they_o in_o their_o efficiency_n or_o activity_n to_o the_o end_n therefore_o that_o we_o nay_o know_v wherein_o the_o watery_a essence_n differ_v from_o the_o fiery_a it_o will_v be_v necessary_a for_o we_o to_o inquire_v a_o little_a into_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o watery_a essence_n it_o be_v know_v by_o experience_n that_o the_o fire_n and_o water_n be_v two_o essence_n that_o stand_v opposite_a to_o each_o other_o that_o be_v the_o fire_n warm_v and_o the_o water_n cool_v so_o that_o the_o water_n have_v a_o contrary_a operation_n or_o efficiency_n to_o fire_n for_o as_o the_o fiery_a essence_n quicken_v so_o the_o watery_a kill_v or_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o death_n and_o thus_o much_o daily_a experience_n teach_v we_o for_o when_o cold_a which_o partake_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o watery_a essence_n get_v the_o dominion_n and_o bear_v sway_v than_o death_n follow_v moreover_o that_o the_o watery_a essence_n incline_v to_o rest_n and_o death_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o vivify_a fiery_a essence_n may_v be_v hence_o discernible_a because_o the_o watery_a cool_a and_o refrigerate_v essence_n have_v dominion_n in_o the_o night_n as_o the_o fiery_a in_o the_o day_n this_o be_v the_o order_n which_o god_n have_v establish_v in_o the_o world_n viz._n that_o the_o sun_n which_o be_v a_o fiery_a be_v shall_v rule_v or_o have_v dominion_n over_o the_o day_n and_o the_o moon_n over_o the_o night_n gen._n 1.16_o and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o moon_n be_v refrigerative_a or_o cooling_n like_o the_o water_n and_o have_v dominion_n over_o the_o water_n as_o have_v be_v show_v in_o our_o observation_n concern_v man_n §_o 25._o consequent_o it_o must_v be_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o water_n see_v therefore_o that_o the_o moon_n be_v of_o the_o watery_a essence_n and_o have_v dominion_n over_o the_o night_n and_o that_o the_o night_n cause_v rest_n and_o sleep_n as_o have_v be_v show_v in_o the_o aforesaid_a observation_n §_o 26._o and_o that_o sleep_n be_v death_n in_o a_o less_o degree_n as_o have_v be_v show_v in_o our_o observation_n §_o 32._o from_o all_o this_o i_o say_v it_o follow_v that_o the_o watery_a essence_n must_v be_v operative_a of_o sleep_n and_o death_n from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v we_o may_v also_o understand_v the_o contrary_a observation_n of_o the_o water_n to_o that_o of_o the_o fiery_a essence_n for_o as_o heat_n and_o cold_a life_n and_o death_n be_v opposite_a to_o one_o another_o so_o likewise_o be_v light_n and_o darkness_n now_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o light_n proceed_v from_o the_o fiery_a essence_n and_o therefore_o by_o consequence_n the_o watery_a essence_n must_v excite_v darkness_n because_o fire_n and_o water_n be_v contrary_a to_o each_o other_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o the_o contrary_a effect_n of_o light_n and_o darkness_n be_v the_o product_n of_o their_o opposite_a essence_n §_o 105._o now_o that_o the_o watery_a essence_n include_v darkness_n in_o itself_o the_o moon_n will_v inform_v we_o which_o be_v a_o watery_a essence_n rule_n or_o bear_v dominion_n by_o night_n over_o the_o darkness_n and_o therefore_o must_v partake_v of_o darkness_n for_o where_o there_o be_v a_o dominion_n there_o must_v also_o ●e_v a_o union_n or_o communication_n with_o that_o which_o be_v rule_v and_o where_o there_o be_v a_o union_n there_o must_v be_v also_o a_o participation_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n furthermore_o it_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o creation_n that_o the_o watery_a essence_n do_v partake_v of_o the_o darkness_n for_o gen._n 1.1_o 2._o it_o be_v say_v that_o in_o the_o beginning_n god_n create_v the_o heaven_n and_o earth_n where_o moses_n intimate_v to_o we_o through_o or_o by_o who_o create_v the_o world_n viz._n in_o or_o through_o the_o beginning_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d in_o the_o
