To have power and virtue given them to bring forth the like unto themselves for the continuance of their kind, is generally given to all those that are expressed in the creation here, albeit there be creatures, as stones and minerals, that bring not forth the like. And this blessing of multiplication is principal in the things that have the life of sense, beside the ⟨p. 22⟩life of increase. And therefore the Lord is brought in to speak to them in the second person: which he did not to the gross corn and trees, Gen. 1.22.
