Q. But it seemes the birds were created of the earth the sixt day, by these words of the 2. chapter. (And the Lord hauing formed out of the ground euery beast of the field, and euery bird of the aire, brought them to Adam.)

A. If God had created them the sixt day of the ground, Moses had not spoken of them the fift day. Secondly, in these words allea∣ged, the coniunction (and) hath no reference to the word ground, as though both had beene formed of the ground: but to the word formed: so the meaning is, that not only the beasts that were formed of the ground: but the Birds also which God had created, were brought to A∣dam.
