There is no Creature but may teach a good soul one step toward his Creator. The World is a Glass, wherein we may contemplate the eternal power and majesty of God. For the invisible things of him, from the creation of the World, 1are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and God-head. It is that great Book, of so large a Character, that a man may run and read it. Yea, even the simplest man that cannot read, may yet spell out of this Book, that there is a GOD. Every Shepherd hath this Calendar, every Plough-man this ABC. What that French Poet divinely sung, is thus as sweetly Englished, The World's a School; where in a general Story, God always reads dumb Lectures of his Glory.
