God to be seen in the works of the Creation. [ 1895]
A Godly Antient being asked,* 1.1 by a Prophane Philosopher, How he could
contemplate high things, sith he had no books? wisely answered; That he had
the whole World for his book ready open at all times, and in all places, and that he could
therein read things Heavenly and divine: And most true it is, that God is to be
seen and admired in the works of the Creation, there's not a Flower in the Field,
not a pile of grasse we tread on but sets forth God unto us in very lively colours;* 1.2
so that not to see him, is to incur the curse he hath denounced against such as re∣gard
not the work of the Lord, i. the first making; neither consider the operation of
his hands, i. the wise disposing of his Creatures for our good, Esay 5. 12.
