The works of God in the Creation of the World, are to and beyond admiration. [ 219]
A Rchimedes was much commended amongst the Heathen, for his skill and contriving the Motions of the Sun, Moon and Planets,* 1.1 with the course of the Heavens and caelestial Spheres in his Horology; Archites was much extolled for causing a Dove of wood to hang in the Air; Apelles and Zeuxis and excellent pair of Painters, whose pen••ils were to admiration,* 1.2 the one for deceiving, the beholders with a counterfeit flye; and the others, the birds with lively painted grapes: O but when with David we shall consider the Heavens,* 1.3 with job lift up our eyes to con∣template the coelestial Spheres, with Solomon observe the nature of Flyes and Pis∣mires,* 1.4 that the Earth should hang in the Air, that the Sea should be confin'd with a wall of sand, &c. We cannot but stand amazed, and wonder at that wisdom, and power by which all these were created, and are still governed.
