First, The Earth and Waters were created both together.
Secondly, The Waters were at first created within the bowels of the Earth; for saith the Text, They issued forth, they brake forth.
Thirdly, At the Command of God, the Waters were brought forth out of the Earth, as a Child out of the Mothers Womb (Psal. 33.7.) He gathereth the waters of the Sea together as an heap, he layeth up the deep in store-houses (Psal. 104 vers. 5, 9.) Bless the Lord, &c. who ⟨p. 98⟩laid the foundations of the Earth, that it should not be removed for ever; thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the Waters stood above the Mountains.
Fourthly, The Waters being thus brought forth, did at first cover the Earth, and so would have continued, if God had let them alone.
