The word rendered heaven is of the dual number, as Grammarians speak, because, in what part soever of the earth any man stands, the heaven is cut in two parts (as to him) by the Horizon, whereof one part is over him, and the other under him; As there is a heaven above us, so a heaven below us, though wheresoever any man is on earth, heaven is above him.

The word rendred heaven is of the dual number, as Grammarians speake, because, in what part soever of the earth any man stands, the heaven is cut in two parts (as to him) by the Horizon, whereof one part is over him, and the other under him; As there is a heaven above us, so a heaven below us, though wheresoever any man is on earth, heaven is above him. Knowest thou The Ordinances of heaven?
Now the Ordinances of heaven may be of two sorts.
First, Those which God hath given to the heavens. The heavenly bodies move according to his constitutions who made heaven and earth.1
