Behold the Stars.
Behold the Starres.
First, In their number; As God said to Abraham (Gen. 15. ⟨p. 117⟩5.) Look now towards Heaven, and tell the Stars if thou be able to number them; and he said unto him, so shall thy seed be. 'Tis matter of wonder that God should make so many of those eminent Lights, that he should set up so many flaming torches in heaven for man to see his way, and work by on earth. That God who hath spread this Canopy over our heads, should also embroider it with such a multitude of Golden spangles, which render it as much our delight, as it is our duty, to behold them.
