    Now Heavn in all her Glorie shon, and rowld

    Her motions, as the great first-Movers hand [ 500 ]

    First wheeld thir c<cite>..</cite>ourse; Earth in her rich attire

    mate lovly smild; <samp></samp>Aire,, Water, Earth,

    By Fowl, Fish, Beast, was flown, was swum, was walkt

    Frequent; and of the Sixt day yet remaind;

    There wanted yet the Master work, the end [ 505 ]

    Of all yet don; a Creature who not prone

    And Brute as other Creatures, but endud

    With Sanctitie of Reason, might erect

    His Stature, and upright with Front serene

    Govern the rest, self-knowing, and from thence [ 510 ]

    Magnanimous to correspond with Heavn,

    But grateful to aowledge whence his good

    Desds, thither with heart and void eyes

    Directed iion, to adore

    And worship God Supream, who made him chief [ 515 ]

    Of all his works: therefore the Omnipotent

    Eternal Father (For where is not hee

    Present) thus to his Son audibly spake.

    Let us make now Man in our image, Man

    In our similitude, ahem rule [ 520 ]

    Over the <cite>?</cite>Fish and Fowle of Sea and Aire,,

    Beast of the Field, and over all the Earth,

    And every creeping thing that creeps the ground.

    This said, he formd thee, Adam, thee O Man

    Dust of the ground, and in thy nostrils breathd [ 525 ]

    The breath of Life; in his own Image hee

    Created thee, in the Image of God

    Express, and thou becamst a living Soul.

    M<tt>.t>ale he created thee, but thy sort

    Female for Race; then blessd Mankinde, and said, [ 530 ]

    Be fruitful, multiplie, and fill the Earth<q></q>,

    Subdue it, and throughout Dominion hold

    Over Fish of the Sea, and Fowle of the Aire,,

    And every living thing that moves on the Earth.
