First, in that he alwayes ordained life and increase. Secondly, in that it was not one on∣ly matter that fell off every where alike. For if a Statue be cut out of a piece of timber, all the chips thereof are wood. But here it was not so; but every thing received its own form and mo∣tion by it selfe.
