Do you know the nature and phenomena of the Moon,
and the measures and courses of light, and how it is that the sun bears
rule over the day, and the moon presides over the night; and while She
gives confidence to wild beasts, He stirs Man up to work, raising or
lowering himself as may be most serviceable? Know you the bond of
Pleiades, or the fence of Orion Job xxxviii. 31. as He who
counteth the number of the stars and calleth them all by their
names? Ps. cxlvii. 4. Know you the
differences of the glory 1 Cor. xv. 41. of each, and the
order of their movement, that I should trust you, when by them you
weave the web of human concerns, and arm the creature against the
Creator?
