The Palaces of Princes are not beautified and adorned to the intent men should pay their respects and honours to the Walls; but to show the Grandeur and Magnificence of the King, to whose person their honour is due, as Athenagoras in his excellent *Apology for the Christians speaks. The World is a glorious and magnificent Pile, raised designedly to exhibit the wisdom and power of its Creator, to the reasonable creature Man; that from him God might receive the glory of all his other works. Of this creature man, the Master-piece of all the visible world, (and therefore crowned King over it, the first moment he was made, Psal. 8.5.) Moses in the next place gives us the account, both of his Original whence he came, and of his Dignity what he is. The Lord God formed man out of the dust of the Ground, and breathed into his Nostrils the breath of Life, and man became a living Soul. Where we find The Original I. Of the body of Man. The Original II. Of the Soul of Man.
