It pleased however the Almighty to\r\ncontinue and confirm that Original\r\n||\r\ngrand Charter he had at first granted him, of being Lord of\r\nthe Creatures: Hereby intimating, That tho man is now Born to\r\nTrouble, Labour and Cares, as the Sparks fly upward; yet God\r\nhas not deprived him of any Comfort or Felicity, which the Earth or\r\nCreatures of it can afford; but has invested him with a superior\r\nAuthority and Dominion over the Beast of the Feild, the Fowl of the\r\nAir, and the Fish of the Sea. Thus it comes to pass, that every\r\nCreature payes a Duty and a Subjection, (as it were) to man, as\r\nto their Master; and notwithstanding the Ferocity and\r\nSalvageness of their Natures, become tame and submissive to the\r\nEmpire of Man. They court his Favour and\r\nA4\r\nmutely supplicate his Friendship and Confederacy, for the subduing the\r\nEnemies of their several Species: They readily obey his\r\nPrecepts, and ravisht with his Service willingly execute his Commands.\r\nAnd thus by this prime Priviledg from God, Man is allowed the Liberty of\r\nsubduing the Creature, and recreating his Mind by Hunting, Fowling,\r\nFishing and the like; and by observing the Natural\r\nInstincts of every Species, the innate Enmity and\r\nCunning of every Creature, may glorify the Immense Wisdom of his\r\nCreator.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 23776 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: R.
