1Furthermore, besides testimonies of Scripture, almost innumerable, it is confirmed also by firm and true reasons, that the world was created of God; such as these following; §11. The originals and beginnings of nations and people show it, which could not be feigned of Moses, when as some remembrance and memorial of them was then extant amongst many; which yet in process of time perished. §22. The novelty and lateness of all other histories, compared with the antiquity and ancientness of the sacred story. §33. The age of man decreasing: which showeth that there mas greater strength in nature at the first, and that not without some first cause it hath decreased hitherto. §44. The certain course and race of times, even from the beginning of the world unto the exhibiting of the Messiah. §55. The constitution and founding of common-weals. §66. The order of things instituted in nature: which must needs have been produced and framed by some ⟨p. 182⟩intelligent mind, far superior to all things. §77. The excellency of the mind of men and Angels. These intelligent minds have a beginning: Therefore they have it from some intelligent cause. §88. The principles or general rules and natural notions ingenerated in our minds. §99. The trembling of conscience in the wicked. §1010. The ends of all things profitably and wisely ordained: therefore by some cause understanding and ordaining them. §1111. Lastly, Those other arguments and reasons also, which prove that there is a God, prove in like manner, that the world was created of God.
