6. Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment. The new-born earth was wrapped in aqueous swaddling bands. Before
humans appeared, the proud waters ruled the whole earth, the waters stood above the mountains, no dry land was visible, vapor as from a steaming
cauldron covered all. Geologists inform us of this as a discovery, but the Holy
Spirit had revealed the fact long before. The passage before us shows us the
Creator commencing his work, and laying the foundation for future order and
beauty: to think of this reverently will fill us with adoration; to conceive of
it grossly and carnally would be highly blasphemous.
