Bvt here a question doth arise:
Sith in six dayes Created be,
Heauen and Earth their whole armye:
New worke thence framed in no wise:
When first did Iah his Angels see?
Philo Greeke-Iewe concluding plaine,
The after worke was still the best:
Some later persons thence would gaine
This Thesis (fitting well their vaine)
Angels were latter then the rest.
For helping this marke well they say,
How Breshith in the latter classe,
A purer worke doth still bewray,
And perfectest in latter day.
The Angell so the latter was.
But pawse, the Iewes conclusion is
Of natures that be seable:
And issuing from same lump Iwis,
By Chaos clipped not amisse:
And not of Spirits Inuisible.
And not of Spirits, who being haue
By Breathing (as had humaine spright)


Or of some other substance braue
Celestiall, or ayrie waue,
Vnsubiect vnto humaine sight.
To purpose such Moses prefates
Celestiall Hyle, fore earth-mother:
As knocking first at Angels gates:
Termed (for time) the morning mates
the Sonnes of God, and of no other.
And here for Singers with first light
I pitch their time of Iubile:
With first dayes being they had flight
Except all Auncients held not right,
and I with them deceaued be.
