Psalms121:2

Verſ. 2. My help cometh from the Lord] To whom therefore alone I muſt look for help.Bodin. theat. Naturae. 413. Surſu[illegible: 1 letter] corda, ſurſu[illegible: 1 letter] etiam capita. Nauraliſts tell us, that of thoſe twenty eight Muſcles whereby the head is moved, twelve lift up the head behind, and two only before let it downward; to teach us to contemplate Heaven more, and Earth leſs.Columb. de re [illegible: 1 word] l. 5. c 9. Others advertiſe us, that it is one main end why God hath ſet in mans eye a fifth Muſcle; whereas other Creatures have but four: one to turn downward, another to hold forwards, a third to turn the eye to the right hand, a fourth to the left hand; but no unreaſonable Creature can turn the eye upward, as Man can; that he may look up to God.

Which made heaven and earth] And will rather unmake both again, than his people ſhall want ſeaſonable help.
