they_o be_v not_o yet_o improper_o create_v or_o so_o make_v as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o air_n that_o god_n make_v or_o fit_v the_o firmament_n thereof_o or_o expansum_fw-la in_o the_o second_o day_n though_o they_o be_v proper_o create_v in_o the_o beginning_n in_o their_o several_a body_n and_o sphere_n but_o be_v then_o all_o in_o rest_n and_o only_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n move_v among_o they_o and_o as_o the_o irregular_a wind_n and_o the_o regular_a course_n of_o the_o tide_n and_o of_o the_o sun_n moon_n and_o starrs_n be_v not_o before_o or_o until_o those_o other_o elementary_a body_n be_v improper_o create_v so_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n whereof_o if_o we_o can_v suppose_v any_o such_o motion_n yet_o we_o may_v not_o reasonable_o suppose_v it_o to_o have_v be_v before_o the_o three_o day_n and_o improper_a creation_n of_o the_o earth_n therein_o concern_v which_o i_o shall_v discourse_v hereafter_o and_o now_o only_o add_v one_o other_o observation_n that_o as_o the_o sun_n though_o far_o less_o than_o one_o hemisphere_n of_o the_o aether_n yet_o make_v day_n therein_o by_o his_o emanant_fw-la ray_n so_o probable_o the_o diurnal_a light_n in_o this_o first_o day_n do_v not_o fill_v one_o whole_a hemisphere_n but_o only_o some_o such_o part_n thereof_o as_o according_a to_o the_o vigour_n and_o extent_n of_o the_o emanant_fw-la ray_n thereof_o do_v make_v day_n artificial_a in_o one_o hemisphere_n and_o perhaps_o with_o some_o such_o crepuscula_fw-la as_o the_o sun_n now_o do_v make_v for_o we_o may_v well_o conceiv_v that_o first_o day_n and_o night_n to_o have_v be_v analogous_a to_o every_o day_n since_o in_o all_o the_o general_a circumstance_n thereof_o beside_o only_a such_o as_o be_v more_o special_o superinduce_v in_o the_o variation_n of_o soon_o or_o late_a more_o or_o less_o by_o the_o course_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n whereas_o if_o that_o diurnal_a light_n inherent_a shall_v have_v fill_v one_o whole_a hemisphere_n the_o emanant_fw-la ray_n thereof_o will_v have_v extend_v much_o far_a and_o the_o inherent_a light_n shall_v have_v be_v hemispherical_a which_o be_v not_o conformable_a to_o the_o natural_a figure_n thereof_o and_o therefore_o i_o rather_o conceiv_v that_o it_o be_v a_o particular_a globe_n glomus_fw-la or_o confluvium_fw-la collect_v from_o the_o light_n which_o be_v first_o generaly_n and_o diffusive_o create_v in_o the_o whole_a aether_n and_o that_o which_o be_v leave_v in_o the_o common_a body_n thereof_o be_v therefore_o comparative_o call_v darkness_n and_o though_o it_o be_v not_o strict_o such_o darkness_n as_o be_v in_o the_o chaos_n yet_o the_o expression_n be_v not_o therefore_o popular_a so_o as_o some_o will_v make_v all_o the_o philosophical_a expression_n in_o scripture_n to_o be_v but_o necessary_o to_o be_v so_o understand_v for_o there_o be_v no_o purae_fw-la tenebrae_fw-la in_o the_o whole_a elementary_a nature_n and_o in_o the_o superaether_o there_o be_v either_o a_o superaethereal_a light_n or_o neither_o light_n nor_o darkness_n for_o where_o there_o be_v not_o nor_o naturaly_n ought_v to_o be_v any_o positive_a there_o be_v no_o privative_a which_o be_v found_v in_o the_o positive_a &_o be_v only_o the_o privation_n thereof_o as_o in_o a_o stone_n there_o be_v neither_o sight_n nor_o blindness_n wherefore_o after_o the_o first_o creation_n of_o light_n that_o darkness_n must_v necessary_o be_v understand_v of_o comparative_a darkness_n only_o and_o this_o be_v the_o natural_a darkness_n which_o god_n create_v and_o be_v also_o sufficient_o so_o explain_v in_o the_o ensue_a word_n and_o the_o darkness_n he_o call_v night_n which_o have_v its_o nocturnal_a light_n whereby_o it_o be_v express_o and_o most_o exact_o distinguish_v from_o a_o pure_a privation_n of_o light_n such_o as_o be_v antecedent_o in_o the_o chaos_n wherein_o there_o be_v neither_o day_n nor_o night_n and_o here_o again_o cavillation_n which_o be_v endless_a may_v proceed_v to_o term_v these_o expression_n god_n say_v or_o call_v and_o the_o like_a popular_a though_o as_o the_o other_o so_o these_o also_o be_v most_o necessary_a for_o indeed_o nothing_o can_v be_v proper_o speak_v of_o god_n either_o as_o he_o be_v in_o essence_n or_o in_o operation_n and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o expression_n more_o apposite_a then_o that_o the_o creature_n be_v verba_fw-la mentis_fw-la divinae_fw-la and_o here_o i_o must_v affirm_v of_o this_o whole_a history_n of_o creation_n that_o it_o be_v not_o popular_a as_o some_o will_v have_v it_o and_o thereby_o render_v it_o insignificant_a unto_o all_o other_o as_o well_o as_o to_o themselves_o whereby_o they_o have_v lose_v the_o benefit_n of_o so_o great_a a_o treasure_n which_o have_v be_v a_o chaos_n to_o this_o day_n and_o be_v still_o hide_v from_o the_o wise_a and_o prudent_a or_o rather_o they_o thus_o hide_v it_o from_o themselves_o though_o i_o be_o confident_a that_o neither_o themselves_o nor_o any_o other_o can_v ever_o declare_v or_o describe_v such_o a_o system_fw-la of_o the_o world_n in_o more_o brief_a or_o less_o popular_a expression_n wherefore_o i_o term_v it_o a_o history_n that_o be_v of_o matter_n of_o fact_n which_o have_v only_o such_o apt_a expression_n as_o serve_v to_o declare_v and_o describe_v the_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o therefore_o certain_o be_v not_o popular_a otherwise_o we_o may_v call_v all_o the_o sacred_a history_n of_o adam_n and_o eve_n of_o noah_n of_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n and_o of_o all_o the_o patriarch_n judge_n and_o king_n and_o governor_n and_o of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n popular_a and_o reject_v all_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n record_v both_o in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n and_o our_o very_a creed_n which_o shall_v be_v most_o irreligious_a and_o also_o irrational_a thus_o when_o god_n say_v in_o the_o beginning_n he_o create_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n shall_v any_o say_v he_o do_v not_o and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n and_o if_o any_o may_v be_v so_o irreligious_a as_o to_o deny_v the_o verity_n of_o the_o fact_n yet_o he_o may_v not_o be_v so_o irrational_a as_o to_o deny_v the_o veracity_n of_o the_o expression_n or_o to_o affirm_v that_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o say_v that_o in_o the_o beginning_n god_n create_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n but_o that_o we_o may_v not_o frame_v any_o popular_a notion_n of_o what_o we_o intend_v by_o a_o popular_a expression_n and_o so_o confound_v our_o discourse_n thereof_o as_o i_o have_v hitherto_o strict_o examine_v other_o term_n and_o expression_n so_o i_o shall_v also_o now_o examine_v this_o very_a expression_n of_o a_o expression_n and_o i_o acknowledge_v generaly_fw-fr all_o language_n to_o be_v popular_a because_o word_n be_v no_o natural_a signature_n but_o only_o institute_v tesserae_fw-la or_o symbola_fw-la of_o thing_n coin_v by_o man_n and_o so_o make_v to_o pass_v current_n among_o themselves_o and_o since_o the_o confusion_n of_o language_n every_o national_a language_n be_v more_o particular_o popular_a or_o peculiar_a to_o the_o people_n of_o that_o nation_n and_o the_o same_o word_n may_v signify_v one_o thing_n in_o one_o tong_n and_o another_o in_o another_o as_o nay_o in_o english_a have_v a_o contrary_a signification_n in_o greek_a wherefore_o i_o acknowledge_v also_o that_o there_o be_v such_o popularity_n in_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n and_o also_o many_o idiotism_n thereof_o as_o well_o as_o in_o other_o but_o i_o suppose_v this_o be_v not_o the_o popularity_n intend_v for_o than_o we_o shall_v also_o invalidate_v all_o language_n as_o well_o as_o this_o and_o all_o book_n as_o well_o as_o the_o bible_n also_o there_o be_v certain_a general_n propertys_n and_o modification_n of_o all_o human_a language_n as_o well_o as_o several_a idiotism_n of_o particular_a language_n as_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v respective_o of_o any_o thing_n or_o in_o one_o respect_n according_a to_o that_o which_o be_v the_o subject_a matter_n of_o the_o present_a discourse_n can_v not_o reasonable_o by_o any_o rational_a man_n in_o any_o language_n be_v interpret_v absolute_o or_o in_o all_o respect_n whatsoever_o and_o so_o again_o as_o i_o have_v before_o note_v that_o which_o no_o human_a language_n can_v proper_o express_v may_v not_o reasonable_o by_o any_o rational_a man_n be_v interpret_v proper_o and_o the_o like_a which_o if_o we_o shall_v not_o allow_v we_o shall_v destroy_v all_o human_a discourse_n and_o otherwise_o then_o so_o i_o know_v not_o one_o popular_a expression_n in_o this_o whole_a history_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o such_o popularity_n also_o be_v and_o must_v be_v in_o any_o other_o history_n of_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o therefore_o this_o can_v be_v no_o reason_n why_o any_o shall_v regard_v it_o less_o than_o any_o other_o philosophical_a discourse_n whatsoever_o wherefore_o they_o must_v rather_o intend_v by_o
same_o sensitive_a classis_fw-la and_o yet_o very_o far_o different_a one_o from_o another_o not_o only_o in_o their_o whole_a composita_fw-la but_o also_o in_o their_o very_a sensitive_a spirit_n which_o specifica_o differ_v and_o the_o piscine_n spirit_n be_v much_o inferior_a to_o the_o bestial_a so_o also_o be_v angelical_a and_o human_a spirit_n in_o the_o same_o intellective_a classis_fw-la and_o not_o only_a spirit_n generica_o as_o they_o be_v distinguish_v from_o matter_n and_o as_o all_o elementary_a vegetative_a and_o sensitive_a be_v spirit_n as_o well_o as_o angel_n as_o i_o have_v show_v but_o classica_o coordinate_a one_o with_o another_o and_o though_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n be_v inferior_a to_o angelical_a as_o it_o be_v say_v thou_o have_v make_v he_o little_o low_a than_o the_o angel_n yet_o certain_o they_o be_v not_o subordinate_a unto_o they_o as_o fish_n though_o inferior_a to_o beast_n be_v not_o subordinate_a unto_o they_o so_o as_o all_o the_o sensitive_a classis_fw-la be_v unto_o man_n and_o the_o vegetative_a to_o the_o sensitive_a and_o the_o elementary_a to_o the_o vegetative_a and_o matter_n to_o the_o elementary_a because_o they_o be_v not_o of_o a_o inferior_a classis_fw-la but_o of_o the_o same_o classis_fw-la wherein_o all_o be_v coordidinate_a as_o i_o have_v show_v and_o so_o be_v the_o intellective_a spirit_n of_o man_n with_o angel_n and_o as_o our_o saviour_n say_v in_o this_o future_a state_n they_o shall_v be_v isangeli_fw-la not_o only_o like_a but_o equal_a to_o they_o and_o indeed_o if_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v in_o the_o same_o intellective_a classis_fw-la with_o they_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v a_o microcosm_n as_o he_o be_v and_o christ_n in_o our_o human_a nature_n shall_v not_o have_v assume_v all_o the_o several_a class_n of_o nature_n as_o he_o do_v and_o because_o we_o be_v so_o coordinate_a with_o they_o therefore_o we_o need_v not_o their_o mediation_n and_o intercession_n but_o only_o he_o who_o be_v the_o mediator_n god-man_n and_o as_o the_o high_a excellence_n of_o their_o nature_n be_v to_o know_v love_n and_o enjoy_v god_n so_o we_o be_v capable_a hereof_o as_o well_o as_o they_o and_o as_o we_o and_o they_o be_v moral_a creature_n so_o we_o be_v mutualy_n oblige_v one_o to_o another_o but_o neither_o of_o we_o to_o brute_n and_o so_o the_o angel_n say_v to_o john_n i_o be_o thy_o fellow-servant_n and_o we_o be_v yet_o more_o unite_v in_o christ_n who_o shall_v also_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o their_o superaether_n and_o in_o who_o all_o thing_n be_v recapitulate_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v both_o which_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o which_o be_v in_o earth_n even_o in_o he_o whereby_o as_o it_o be_v also_o say_v we_o come_v unto_o mount_n zion_n and_o unto_o the_o city_n of_o the_o live_a god_n the_o heavenly_a jerusalem_n and_o to_o a_o innumerable_a company_n of_o angel_n to_o the_o general_n assembly_n and_o church_n of_o the_o first-born_a which_o be_v write_v in_o heaven_n now_o whereas_o i_o have_v show_v that_o in_o this_o present_a conjunct_a state_n we_o can_v operate_v without_o or_o beyond_o the_o body_n that_o be_v we_o can_v understand_v without_o phantasm_n which_o we_o irradiate_a with_o the_o spiritual_a light_n of_o our_o understanding_n nor_o localy_a move_v the_o body_n without_o the_o motive_n spirit_n which_o we_o move_v by_o the_o spiritual_a power_n of_o our_o will_n whereby_o we_o command_v and_o govern_v the_o sensitive_a imagination_n and_o appetite_n immediate_o and_o so_o the_o whole_a body_n mediate_o and_o that_o angel_n need_v no_o such_o instrumentalitys_n but_o may_v intuitive_o contemplate_v all_o thing_n by_o the_o irradiation_n of_o their_o own_o mental_a light_n and_o move_v they_o by_o the_o eradiation_n of_o their_o own_o spiritual_a heat_n as_o i_o may_v so_o term_v they_o thus_o our_o human_a spirit_n as_o well_o as_o they_o shall_v also_o then_o have_v the_o same_o intuitive_a and_o

as_o i_o have_v say_v and_o though_o they_o be_v not_o generable_a or_o corruptible_a in_o their_o substance_n which_o be_v simple_a and_o without_o any_o mistion_n or_o composition_n and_o such_o as_o always_o subsist_v in_o themselves_o and_o be_v neither_o generable_a nor_o corruptible_a as_o i_o have_v also_o show_v yet_o they_o have_v their_o accidental_a qualitys_n by_o which_o they_o

therein_o have_v their_o actualitys_n and_o potentialitys_n and_o be_v therefore_o generable_a and_o corruptible_a in_o themselves_o and_o so_o mutable_a also_o all_o simple_a substance_n of_o the_o same_o species_n have_v all_o the_o same_o specifical_a qualitys_n thereof_o either_o actualy_n or_o potentia_o because_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o species_n as_o they_o be_v such_o simple_a substance_n though_o their_o mista_n or_o composita_fw-la may_v otherwise_o differ_v specifica_o as_o such_o for_o so_o though_o the_o cortical_a stone_n metal_n mineral_n and_o subcortical_a magnet_n differ_v specifical_o as_o mista_n yet_o as_o all_o of_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o predominant_a element_n earth_n so_o that_o be_v a_o simple_a substance_n in_o itself_o have_v all_o the_o

be_v in_o brick-earth_n and_o the_o like_a and_o so_o though_o aethereal_a and_o culinary_a fire_n may_v differ_v specifica_o as_o mista_n yet_o the_o elementary_a fire_n which_o be_v predominant_a

virtue_n may_v be_v actuate_v in_o culinary_a fire_n as_o well_o as_o in_o comet_n and_o so_o also_o all_o simple_a substance_n of_o the_o same_o classis_fw-la have_v the_o same_o classical_a or_o

which_o may_v live_v and_o operate_v separately_z have_v also_o such_o generical_a q●alitys_n both_o intuitive_a and_o motive_n whereby_o they_o may_v so_o live_v and_o operate_v separately_z in_o

whereby_o also_o we_o may_v understand_v that_o separate_a spirit_n be_v not_o so_o vast_o diffusive_a or_o atomica_o retractive_a as_o some_o fancy_n but_o have_v their_o bound_n as_o other_o

now_o consistence_n be_v not_o a_o compound_v but_o simple_a quality_n of_o earth_n therefore_o it_o do_v contain_v earthy_a body_n together_o if_o they_o be_v continuous_a though_o very_o various_a
