Treating of the Expanfum^ or Inferiour Heav n> he (ays 
that accprding to the Mofaick Phy^ology^ the Heav ns, ge- 
nerated ot the Abyffine, or Chaotick \Vaters, arc divided 
only into two Orbs, caird by the names of the Superiour 
and Inferiour Heav'ns (tho others have made feveral Cae- 
leftial Orbs^ and having (poke of the Superiour Heav n in 
the foregoing Chapter, he tells us here, that the Inferiour 
Heav n, the work of the fecond day, is caird by Mofes 
thtExpinfum^ and comprehends •all the fpace from the 
Terraqueous Orb to the Empyreal Heav n, or the iEther^ 
tho with this diftinftion, that its fuperiour part, which is 
far the greater, is caird Sidereal 5 the Inferiour, next the 
Earth, Aerial : and then he tells us how this Interiour ' 
Heav n was fram'd : and as for the Ca;lkm Ccelorum^ men- 
tion'd Mofes^ call'd by S. Paul the Third Heavn^ he 
fays, It's a Supramundane Light, to which no Mortal can 
have accefs. ^ 
Treafmg of the Ghaotick or Elementary Waters, he 
fays, that tho Mofis^ and the Brachmans znA, the Druidcs^ 
long before him, faid Water was the principle of all 
things, yet he thinks neither Mofes nor the others under- 
ftood it to be true or natural Water, but only Meuphyfi^ 
cal, viz* that Immenfc Multitude of Chaotick particles, 
of which all things were made in the beginning 5 which - 
when they were moved by God, prefented an appearance, 
as it were, of Waters 3 nor is the nature of Water, fpcak- 
ing Philofophically, any thing but a multitude of round 
and fmooth Particles circulating about their Center : and 
he produces many arguments for making out what he has 
here laid down. 
Treating of the Chaotical and Elementary Earth, he 
tells us ot the great delight Nature takes in changing all 
things, and making again the like. This, he fays, can 
be performed in aH Elements, even by the laduftry of - 
Art;
