CHAP. II.

The three first verses, that treat of the institution of the Sabbath, are ac∣cording to their proper Order of time, to be taken in at the end of the third chapter.

Vers. 4. &c. On the morning of the sixth day a mist, that had gone up from the Earth fell down upon it again in rain or dew, and watered the Earth, with which water∣ing the trees and plants budded to maturity in a trice: this dew being as a natural cause thereof, yet the effect being withal exceeding supernatural, because ••o speedy.

Vers. 7. Of the dust of the Earth thus watered, God created the body of man, and to this the Psalmist alludeth, The dew of thy youth, Psal. 110. 3. And into that Earth so pre∣pared, he breatheth the Spirit of Life and Grace, Ephes. 4. 24.

Vers. 10. Eden watered by a river that overflowed it once a year, after the manner of Nilus and Jordan; Chap. 13. 10.

To Adam thus created and made Lord of the creature, the Lord himself bringeth the creatures to receive their names, which he giveth to them agreeable to their natures, and that at the first sight, shewing at once his dominion over them, and his wisdom, among them all he seeth no fit match for himself, but by seeing every one of them mated, and that they came before him by pairs, he is brought to be sensible of his own want of a fel∣low: which thereupon God provideth for him out of his own body of a rib, which part of him might best be spared. And thus the Creation endeth in the making of the woman.
