And thus the Evening and the Morn again Compleats that work the Fourth Day did explain And now this Scene so splendid and so bright God drew behind the Curtain of the Night A Scene of the Fifth Days Creation GOd spake whose words the Thunder do's out-vie Let th' waters now bring forth aboudantly The moving Creatures that have life to move And Fowl which may take flight and soar above The Globe of Earth in the ope firmament Of Heaven as the place of their Assent With these great Whales Created God and all Live Creatures that have motion great and small Which by the waters were abundantly After their kind brought forth to multiply And every winged Fowl in his own kind Obey'd his Maker sought to please his mind Wherefore he every Creature had design'd When he renew'd his works we find that he Affirmed the sight was good which he did see By reason good we find him recommend To them his blessings which did then descend Upon these Creatures unto which said he Replenish Multiply and Fruitful be With plenteousness the waters of the Seas Ye Fishes fill and on the Earth increase Ye winged Fowls that for a full supply Your species may produce most plentiously At your Creation this was my intent Then gender in your liquid Element Be still increasing to a greater store You had Creation to supply the shore Thus to be Fruitful seems to intimate That Creature Man whom God was to Create The Inhabitants of the great Ocean God did Create to serve the Creature man Without dispute 't was only for Mans use He caus'd the Seas so flush Fish to produce In these productions aid the God of might Rejoyce they were his raptures of delight Deriving from his Wisdom and his Might The Evening and the Morning now display The Sun of Gods Creation the Fifth Day This Evenings darkness dims its Mornings dawn And thus the Curtain o're the Scene is drawn A Scene of the Sixth Days Creation THe great commander speaks and constitutes The Earth for to bring forth all living Brutes Each one according to his species and The groveling thing that creepeth on the Land The Beast of the Earth and Cattel he confin'd To be brought forth according to their kind And so it was which words do here attest The verity of what God hath exprest Again we find by powerful command The Beasts the Cattel what creeps on the Land Each after his own kind he made and lo All this was good for God did find it so Which Epithete he us'd his mind to show He gave the word once more and spake it thus As in Plurality sayes God let us * Man was made the Image of God Make man according to our Image he After our likeness shall Created be And let them have Dominion where I find The Plurall Number note what God design'd E're this Dominion was conferr'd on Man Over the Fish in the great Ocean Or o're the Fowl i' th Air or had command O're Cattel or what creeps upon the Land We find the blessed Trinity consult Here Mans Creation what could the result Of this so wise a consultation be But to make Man next Angels in degree Thus in his likeness God Created Man Both Male and Female Metropolitan And Universal Potentate to Reign O're all in Earth in Air or in the Main To whom his Blessing he did not deny That they should Fruitful be and multiply Replenish all the Earth herein be abound That plenteousness in it for Man found The which unto Gods Glory should redound Again to speak we find the Lord began And say behold unto this formed Man I give you every Herb that beareth seed Which on the surface of the Earth do breed Likewise the Fruit of every seeding Tree To you for meat appoint I it to be To every Beast of th' Earth each Fowl that flies Up in the Air beneath the lofty skies To every thing that on the Earth doth crawl Wherein is life are given even all Green Herbs and these to be their proper meat For them to feed themselves therewith and eat So God looks back on every thing which he Created and of nothing made to be And when he these review'd he understood And said that all his works was very good Again the Evening and the Morn attest What God the Sixth day fram'd that he might rest * The Epilogue This Sixth and last Scene now I do present And hope herein spectators to content Expert the Actor is it was but Play With him to Act Creation every day Doubtless delightful this had been to view When every day God did this Play renew Six dayes the Lord his pleasure did ingage To Act Creation on Time's transient Stage God had a certain Scene for every day Or new additonals unto the Play Which was but his command and all obey Creation Recreation needs must be To him that had design'd it by decree But God to clear the Stage did not refrain To draw the Curtain o're the Scene again And thus the Evening darkness did allay The Morning Light and Lustre of the day Three persons Acting every Act I 've shown And yet no Act was Acted save by one SUBJECT VI. A Reflection on the wonderful Creation With the Formation of Adam and Eve Their happiness in the state of Inocency As also the Institution of Marriage This pleasant story plainly do's relate In Paradice how happy was Mans state THus were the Heav'ns the Earth compleated And all their Hosts in their right stations seated And on the Seventh day from the Creation God fix'd a Period and a termination Unto the Six dayes works and for a closure Upon the Seventh took his blest reposure From all the things that he before Created And from all Creatures which he animated Thus-wise the Heavens had their generation And thus the Earth when all had their Creation The very day when they of God were fram'd The Heavens and the Earth they then were nam'd Of him by these for ever shall be fam'd To every Plant God Planted in the Fields And every Herb its flower and Seed that yields He gave production that thereby might grow And appellation by which men all know Though when God planted these their growth was slow To nourish which his wisdom found away Whereby to moisten Earths obdurate clay Cause these to root afterwards to spring Their gendring Seeds and gay flowers forth to bring This means God us'd the Lord caus'd it to rain The which these Vegetables would sustain And make them to increase and grow amain But yet one thing most needful was not found And that was Man for to manure the ground Yet God Almighty would not form the same Without a liquid matter in his frame He from the Earth a mist made to ascend The which dssiolv'd in Dew and for this end The Superficies of the ground to wet That God the mould to make this man might get And now methinks we easily

there is no mention made as when I leave this seruple to be Judg'd by men And will according to Gods word proceed To what he has Created or decreed Behold the formless Earth confus'd and void Its matter and formation now enjoy'd This time the darkness that did vail the face Of the great Abbisse found its proper place Which deep no doubt the waters were whereon Gods breathing Spirit had his motion His Spirit on these waters surface mov'd By which the watry Element was prov'd And made productive that therein might breed Those various Broods for aye should thence proceed This Element does not alone produce Supply for food but is it self of use To heal Diseases this will do beside Since by Gods Holy Spirit qualifi'd Note those effusions that from hence do flow And those extractions God gave men to know From Chimick misteries in things below But to return to what should follow next Let 's take a view of what lies in the Text 'T is not amiss to look a little back The Text implies of light there is a lack And God who did Eternally foresee The need of light commands that Lamp to be Who in this manner said let there be light And it appear'd in presence of his sight It seems that God no sooner this had said But lightimme diately his voice obey'd Such was the ruling power of his word That every thing could but obey the Lord And with his pleasure presently accord God saw the light that it was good and he From darkness made the light divined be Which light he called day it 's glorious sight Render'd the darkness to be named night By this time light and darkness both display The Evening and the Morn of the first day One act is acted God leaves this aside Nights Curtain draws the Terrene stage to hide A Scene of the Second Days Creation AGain God said whose pleasure did invent 'Twixt Heaven and Earth a fixed Firmament Amid'st the waters or betwixt them let The Firmament my word has fram'd be set And to regard command we find the skie Render submission to his potencie To shew subjection gains sublimity Thereby exalted unto that degree The highest thing that mortal eye can see Wich firmament created was apply'd The waters from the waters to divide That is by its attraction do's retain The Clouds sometimes permits them not to rain Upon these lower springs which would increase Our floods too great but as its greatness cease And thus we find the showers congeal'd to Snow Or unto Hail not long prevail below God having made this sirmamentall frame Above it waters were beneath the same Likewise were waters as God had decreed At the Creation and 't was so indeed The water that 's above the firmament Is mixt with fire sometimes in its descent When thus 't is seen the Heavens seem to shake Their voice of thunder makes the Earth to quake Till consternation mankind over take Thus Water seems for to wage war with Fire While trembling mortals at their sound admire The noise so loud as if design'd to rent In sunder the Caelestial Firmament Which firmament admits an other Name And that is Heaven thus God calls the same What I have said with Scriptures will accord Which Oracles most magnifie the Lord And thus I have endeavour'd to explain What on the Second day God did ordain Until the Evening from the Morning Tide Clos'd up the day and drew this Scene aside A Scene of the Third Days Creation NOw God was pleas'd who all things did design For his own Praise the waters to confine And gather these together to one place Which by appointment in a little space Effected was and at the Lords command Immediately appeared the dry Land To this dry Land God did ordain a Name The which is Earth from its Terrestial frame To th'gathering of the waters he did please As he knew fit to give the Name of Seas Which deluge rage his power did since appease So God himself saw that all this was good And pleased him as may be understood He gave command that Earth should bring forth grass At whose command the Earth brought it to pass All things obeying him who had decreed From evermore the Herb to yeild its seed The Fruit Tree to yeild Fruit each in his kind To the fulfilling of his will Inclin'd Whose Seeds in these remain and have their birth In them to propogate upon the Earth This barren Earth thus Fruitful now became Through their supply replenishing the same And since thus fertile every thing is found According to his kind in 't to abound It brings forth grass to satisfie the need Of what God should Create on Earth to breed That is all Creatures which threon should feed Thus bounteously did God give every thing It s proper species that from Earth do's spring Likewise the Herb did render of its Seed And so the Tree according as decreed And this was good in God Almighties eye When he reviewed all things with their supply These are the works of God and safely may Be said t' have been Created the third day And now the Morning and the Eve restore This days Perfection as the dayes before Thus wise this Scene seems to dismiss our sight Vail'd by the sable Curtain of the night A Scene of the Fourth Days Creation AGain God pleas'd to dictate thus and said Let there be lights and lights themselves displaid Which lights fixation in the firmament Of Heaven was design'd for this event The separation of the day from night Or if you please the darkness from the light And these were constituted by decree For signs for Seasons Dayes and Years to be These Luminaries God was pleas'd to fet In the Caelestial firmament and let Them render brightness on the Earth and be Light to all things God should Create to see For nothing more can satisfie the sight Than from the darkness to distinguish light And to behold its glory when most bright When to Create the light our God enclin'd Some passages observable I find This for a Truth methinks I might relate God did command and his command Create He never did command the least of things But presently from him its fountain springs Immediately from nothing some thing brings This Author of the Great Creation he Made two great lights and makes them rulers be To Rule the Day appoints the greater Light Commands the lesser for to Rule the Night Thus having made the Sun and Moon now he Proceeds to make the Starrs which in degree Exceed each other as in Influence So in proportion there 's a difference Who reads the Scriptures Astrologick story Will find them likewise differ in their glory In his Caelestiall Orbe the God of might Did fix these shining Lamps on Earth to Light Which Lights God gave unto a power to sway Not only o're the Night but o're the Day And to divide the Darkness from the Light Which thing was good in the Almighties sight
