This doctrine is evident in the Scriptures, Psal. 136.5. God by his wisdom made the Heavens. And here is another main difference betwixt this world, and the glory of heaven: The Cities of this world were built by man, but Heaven by God himself. The art and skill of men built the cities of the earth, and sometime the covetousness, or other corruption of man, as is manifest in the beginning; for Cain, a covetous, cruel, and ambitious man, built the first city in the world: but holy and good men, have not the honour to be builders of this City; No, they are Citizens of it, but God only is the author and builder of it.
