We are called to consider this.
Wee are called to consider this.
Hence note; That it is our duty to contemplate the excellency of the creature.
God hath not only given us the book of the Scripture, but of the creature, and we must attend to the reading of this as well as of that, even to the reading of every lease and line of it. There are four great leaves of this book. First, the heavens; secondly, the earth; thirdly, the Sea; fourthly, the air. These are the four great leaves of this book of the creature; in every one of which we should labour to be expert Scholars, and spell out the name and mind of God in them. For though (as I said before) beholding notes wondering, yet we must not behold them to wonder at them, like children; but we must behold them to learn somewhat from them, or to be instructed by them as men.
