I shall endeavour to speak of these distinctly; The holy Ghost giving us such a Text, it is not lightly to be passed by: And though here are strange words and uncouth expressions, yet we may (I hope) bring them down to an easy meaning, and fit them to the understanding of the simplest.

Job under these names couches many of the stars of heaven.1 A Star (according to Philosophy) is the thicker part of its orb •r sphere; it is thicker then other parts of the heavens; for otherwise as it could not hold the light, so it could not reflect and send forth the light; It could not be a vessel for light, or a conveyance for light. Light was created the first day (Gen. 1.3.) but the lights were created the fourth day (Gen. 1.14.) that is, certain vessels were created to hold the light. And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven; that is, let the light which is now scattered through all, be gathered in certain receptacles, fit to keep, and yet fitted to transmit and disperse it into all parts of the world, Let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light, vers. 15.
