If it were possible we might stand upon such a Hill, from which we might at once see all parts of the world, the Cities and Townes, and Mountains, and Forests, and Castles, and gorgeous buildings: and all the Kings and Princes of the world, in their princely estate: if we might see the variety of the whole world, how some live quietly in peace, others are turmoiled in war: some live in wealth, others in poverty and misery: ⟨p. 189⟩some rise, others fall. To see and behold so great variety of things, it cannot be but it would delight us.

Such a Hill, from whence we may take view of so great variety, such a story in which we may read of noble princes, of their wars and victories, is the word of God. Upon this Hill you may at once behold all the works of his hands, how he made Heaven and Earth, the Sun and Moon, the Sea & Floods: the fishes in the water, the fouls in the air, and the beasts in the field. Upon this Hill you may stand and see his Angels, and his Archangels, and blessed spirits, how some of them fell, and some continued in glory: how God hath sent them in message, how they have come down from Heaven to serve the sons of men.
