Note a — A SURVEY OF THE Terraqueous Globe.

It is not unlikely that the Psalmist might mean, at least have an Eye to, the Works of the Creation in this Text, the Word ‎‏מעשה‏‎ being the same that in Psal. 19. 1. is translated God’s Handy-work, which is manifestly applied to the Works of Creation, and properly signifieth Factum, Opus, Opisicium, from ‎‏עשה‏‎ Fecit, Paravit, Aptavit. And saith Kircher, significat talem affectionem, quâ aliquid existit vel realiter, vel ornatè, velut non sit in pristino statu quo fuit. Concord, p. 2. col. 931.
