understand_v that_o that_o which_o be_v the_o first_o in_o intention_n be_v the_o last_o in_o execution_n but_o the_o mean_n between_o keep_v a_o like_a order_n do_v succeed_v from_o the_o first_o

now_o to_o reconcile_v these_o diverse_a opinion_n i_o think_v we_o may_v say_v that_o for_o the_o matter_n and_o rich_a seed_n of_o all_o the_o beauty_n and_o richesses_n of_o the_o univer_n it_o

that_o the_o prophet_n will_v teach_v that_o there_o be_v water_n both_o under_o &_o above_o heaven_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o psalmist_n heaven_n psal_n 148._o whether_o there_o

be_v not_o very_o easy_a for_o we_o to_o understand_v what_o water_n may_v be_v above_o the_o heaven_n if_o we_o do_v not_o take_v the_o name_n of_o heaven_n in_o these_o two_o text_n for_o the_o

among_o the_o sphere_n or_o above_o the_o planet_n and_o star_n and_o for_o to_o take_v the_o name_n of_o water_n here_o for_o spiritual_a water_n not_o corporal_a as_o many_o have_v argue_v i_o seem_v under_o correction_n of_o the_o wise_a which_o we_o prefer_v in_o all_o our_o discourse_n that_o this_o can_v fit_o be_v affirm_v because_o it_o do_v evident_o appear_v that_o moses_n speak_v of_o material_a water_n for_o he_o accommodate_v himself_o to_o a_o gross_a people_n among_o who_o he_o converse_v make_v no_o mention_n in_o all_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n but_o of_o the_o create_v of_o visible_a and_o corporal_a thing_n so_o that_o there_o be_v small_a likelihood_n that_o he_o shall_v speak_v of_o other_o water_n mix_v spiritual_a thing_n with_o corporal_a but_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 not_o the_o proper_a word_n spread_v abroad_o as_o the_o hebrew_n phrase_n do_v signify_v some_o of_o the_o learned_a have_v observe_v how_o that_o many_o latin_a divine_n have_v be_v hinder_v from_o the_o understanding_n of_o this_o doctrine_n for_o they_o have_v take_v the_o name_n firmament_n for_o the_o starry_a heaven_n as_o also_o the_o greek_n have_v judge_v imitate_v their_o translation_n whereupon_o the_o imagination_n be_v spring_v of_o water_n above_o the_o heaven_n and_o of_o a_o crystalline_a heaven_n which_o i_o suppose_v to_o have_v be_v so_o call_v heaven_n of_o the_o

it_o have_v be_v very_o difficult_a to_o conceive_v how_o material_a water_n which_o by_o nature_n be_v corruptible_a may_v be_v above_o the_o celestial_a sphere_n except_o they_o be_v harden_v and_o

into_o crystal_n because_o that_o from_o the_o moon_n upward_o there_o be_v no_o creature_n subject_a to_o corruption_n and_o to_o such_o change_n as_o those_o that_o be_v under_o the_o moon_n behold_v then_o why_o these_o man_n have_v suppose_v such_o water_n to_o have_v be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o heaven_n but_o what_o need_n be_v there_o to_o travel_v in_o such_o disputation_n and_o to_o take_v pain_n for_o to_o have_v recourse_n to_o allegory_n when_o one_o may_v be_v easy_o satisfy_v with_o the_o literal_a sense_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o easy_a then_o to_o make_v the_o word_n of_o moses_n clear_a and_o evident_a be_v thorough_o consider_v for_o first_o he_o have_v declare_v water_n of_o the_o separation_n of_o the_o terrestrial_a and_o

no_o wise_n appear_v till_o such_o time_n as_o god_n have_v command_v the_o water_n to_o retire_v themselves_o into_o their_o place_n which_o he_o have_v assign_v for_o their_o perpetual_a residence_n and_o then_o the_o earth_n be_v discover_v even_o so_o much_o thereof_o as_o be_v needful_a for_o the_o habitation_n and_o nourishment_n of_o man_n and_o of_o all_o the_o creature_n which_o god_n do_v afterwards_o create_v 104._o psal_n 104._o therefore_o david_n as_o the_o expounder_n of_o moses_n word_n say_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v set_v the_o earth_n upon_o her_o foundation_n add_v
