CHAP. LVIII. Another Glorification of God, from his * 1.1 Go∣vernment of the world.
THy Works give confirmation to these things. Thy Power makes us innocent and faithfull. The Sun and Moon have their stated and pre∣scribed† 1.2Road; nor are the Stars moved round the‖ 1.3 Axis of the whole world in an irregular manner. The Vicissitudes of Times recur by a certain Law. By Thy word the firm* 1.4site of the Earth hath been established. And the wind makes its motiona 1.5according to a set time. Also, the current and carriage of the waters† 1.6proceeds from the motion of a restless Flux. The Sea is contained within fixt and immovable Bounds. And what ever is diffused thorow the Earth and Ocean, every such thing is framed for certain ad∣mirable and‖ 1.7great Uses. Which unless it were in this manner governed according to the Arbi∣trement of Thy Will, doubtless so great a diversity, andb 1.8so manifold a division of power, would have brought destruction upon the whole world and hu∣mane affairs.c 1.9For they who have waged War against one another, would doubtless have fought with a greater vehemency against mankind. Which questionless they do, although they are not seen with the Eyes.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. I read 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, according to a set time; as Chri∣stophorson seems to have read. And so the reading is in the Fuketian and Savilian Manuscripts. Vales.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉▪ that is, so mani∣fold a di∣vinity, to wit, of the Sun, Moon, Stars, and Elements, concerning which he hath spoken above. For all these, unless they were governed by the Beck and Power of one God, would likewise be Gods. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 therefore imports a power subject to no dominion; which we commonly term an Independency, which is proper to God only. Vales.
He means the Gods of the Heathens, as I have said above: to wit, the Sun, Moon, and the rest of the Elements of the world, which Antiquity worshipped for Gods. Presently▪ from the Fuke∣tian Copy write 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 as the reading also is in the Kings Sheets. Vales.
