Illustration from Emblems of Mortality; representing, in upwards of fifty cuts, death seizing all ranks and degrees of people

In the Beginning, Heav’n and Earth, And the resounding Sea, God, by his Voice omnipotent, From Nothing caus’d to be. The human Race, the Image true Of his divinest Mind, Both Male and Female he did form From lightest Earth we find.
