§. 130. Of the extent of Heaven and Earth.
IN setting down the Creation two words are used, which comprise in them all things that were made, namely Heaven and Earth, and that by two tropes; one is a Metonymy, whereby the continent is put for all things contained therein: The other is a Synecdoche whereby a part is put for the whole; The earth is the middle centre of the whole world, and the heaven is the uttermost circumference that compasseth all about; so as all between them are comprised under them. In this large sense these two words are oft used, as Gen. 1. 1. 2 Kin. 19. 15. 2 Chro. 2. 12. Psa. 121. 2. Jer. 32. 17.
