God created the Heaven and the Earth at the Beginning. The Earth However was vacant and void, and Darkneſs overwhelmed the Deep; but the Spirit of God hovered atop of the water.Firſt God ſaid, Let there be light; which there was accordingly.
For God thus loved the World, ſo that he gave his only begotten Son, that every one who believes in him may not periſh, but have everlaſting Life. | |
