1Some distinguish thus between these three, Eternity, Eviternity and Time. Eternity is that which is peculiar unto God, his are the days of eternity. Eviternity is proper to Angels and spirits, which have a beginning, but shall have no end. Time is the portion and lot of man, who hath had a beginning, and shall have an end. Time is the measure of those things, which actually corrupt and change. Eviternity is the measure of things incorruptible and unchangeable, not in themselves, but by the appointment of God. Eternity is peculiar to God, in whom it is absolutely impossible any change should be. Time hath continual successions, eternity a constant permanency, eviternity partakes of both. Hence

The second difference, Mans days are moveable, the days of God move not.1
