Whence were liuing creatures brought foorth?
Some out of the waters as fishes, which are also called creeping creatures, because they haue no feete, which also haue no lungs, and therefore breath onely by their gils: and birds which are feathered, winged, twofooted, (although they seeme to be created of the earth)d 1.1 and haue respiration and a voice, which were made the fift daye 1.2. Some of the earth which liue vpon the earth, whereof Moses maketh three kinds of beasts, which be helpful vnto man some way, as are cattell which liue by grasse, not by flesh, horses, oxen, sheepe: and which may be tamed, & liue about the house, as Elephants, Ca∣mels, Harts. Creeping things which haue no feete, or very short ones, wherewith they be a little caried aboue the earth. And beasts which be wild, and liue by flesh, as Lions, Bears, &c. To all which he gaue power to beget their like in kind, by the coniunction of the male and female of the same kind, which were created the sixt dayf 1.3. And the same day was man created distinctly from them all, of whom we will speake in a speciall place.
