I. The Earth and its Appurtenances.
II. The Waters and Theirs.
The first of these only, is what at present I shall be able to take into this Survey.
And in Surveying the Earth, I intend,
1. To consider its constituent Parts, or Things peculiar to its self.
2. The Inhabitants thereof, or the several Kinds of Creatures that have their Habitation, Growth, or Subsistence thereon.
1. As to the Earth it self, the most remarkable Things that present themselves to our View, are,
1. Its various Moulds and Soils.
2. Its several Strata, or Beds.
