This settlement was made in the Creation (Gen. 1.14.) And ⟨p. 128⟩when the flood had made (as it were) a confusion of the times, and seasons, the Lord renewed this settlement (Gen. 8.22.) While the Earth remaineth, seed time, and harvest, and cold, and heat, and Summer and Winter, and day and night shall not cease. Read this fully (Jer. 31.35, 36. Jer. 33.20.) Sun and Moon know their time, and 'tis God, who hath taught them this knowledge, and given them this instruction. The light keeps its time, though it changeth its time every day (Psal. 104.19.) He appointeth the Moon for seasons, the Sun knoweth his going down. The Sun is instructed (as it were) where to rise, and where to go down. The Sun follows the direction of God. There is no rational creat•re that doth so exactly follow the conduct of God, as the Sun. The Sun forgets not its duty, it never mistook the hour either of its rising or going down (as we more largely showed a little before) it never mistook a hairs breadth for place, nor a moment of its time. And as it moves according to the command of God: so nothing can stay its motion, but the command of God: And if He say, Sun stand thou still, it will do so again, as in the days of Joshua.
