1That the world hath not been from everlasting, but had, when it seemed best to the Creator, according to his eternal counsel and will, a beginning once, and was created of that only true God, who hath manifested himself in the Church, that he is the eternal Father, and Son, and holy Ghost, we know,§1 2By testimonies of holy Scripture, as by the whole history of the creation set down by Moses. Likewise,3 out of other testimonies of Scripture very many: By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

For this purpose did the Lord himself propose unto Job his marvellous and incomprehensible works, conspicuous in heaven and earth,4 and other things also created by him, to declare his justice, power, and providence.
