And how the bones be ioyned together.
1Likewise (saith he) are beasts and men made in their mothers womb, thou knowest not how. Psal. 38. My bones are not bid from thee though […] be made secretly. & in all that Psalm of Domine probasti. &c. And though the womb were opened,2 yet could we not see how these things came to pass. For we all see that trees do grow, and yet we see not how the bows, leaves and fruits of them do grow, neither can we show any reason thereof. Even so other men see that we grow. Seeing therefore we understand not things present and before our eyes, how shall we understand things to come. To conclude, Gods works are to us unknown, and so are those things that are to come.
1LIkewise (saith he) are beastes and men made in their mothers wombe, thou knowest not how. Psal. 38. My bones are not bid from thee though 〈…〉 be made secretly. & in all that Psalme of Domine probasti. &c. And though the wombe were opened,2 yet could we not sée how these thinges came to passe. For we all sée that trées doe growe, and yet we sée not how the bowes, leaues and fruites of them doe grow, neither can we shewe any reason thereof. Euen so other men sée that we growe. Seing therefore we vnderstand not thinges present and before our eies, how shall we vnderstand things to come. To cōclude, Gods works are to vs vnknowen, and so are those things that are to come.
