 2 2|        the several parts of the creation, that it was the workmanship
 3 3|        Scripture account of the creation is what appears to me utterly
 4 3|    notions. Moses tells us of a creation: a creation of what? of
 5 3|       tells us of a creation: a creation of what? of ideas? No, certainly,
 6 3|        with you for a word. The creation, therefore, I allow to have
 7 3|          I allow to have been a creation of things, of RED things.
 8 3|       the Mosaic account of the creation and your notions?~PHIL.
 9 3|         had been present at the creation, I should have seen things
10 3|       the Mosaic account of the creation, and now find no alteration
11 3|       the Mosaic account of the creation, I understand that the several
12 3|     honest men, who believe the creation, never think of those things
13 3|     absolute existence, wherein creation might terminate. Is it not,
14 3|          plainly impossible the creation of any inanimate creatures
15 3|         in case we conceive the creation, as we should at this time,
16 3|       shall we make then of the creation?~PHIL. May we not understand

22 3|        not able to conceive the Creation on any hypothesis whatsoever;

24 3|        Matter doth not make the creation conceivable, the creation’
25 3|       creation conceivable, the creation’s being without it inconceivable
26 3|         me in this point of the creation.~PHIL. I would fain know
27 3|         acknowledged.~PHIL. The creation, therefore, according to
28 3|  according to them, was not the creation of things sensible, which
29 3|         absolute being, wherein creation might terminate?~HYL. True.~
30 3|       PHIL. Moses tells us of a creation. A creation of what? of
31 3|       tells us of a creation. A creation of what? of unknown quiddities,
32 3|     this ever known to make the creation more credible? Nay, hath
