Overview

Excerpt from A New and Complete Universal History of the Holy Bible, Vol. 1 of 4: From the Creation of the World, to the Full Establishment of Christianity, by Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and His Holy Evangelists, Apostles, Disciples, &C From this expression, some are of opinion, that fowls derive their origin from the water as well as the fishes; while others, with equal reason, suppose them to have been made out of the earth, agreeable to the following passage in Gen. Ii. 19. Out of the ground God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air. But these two texts are easily reconciled, when we consider, that neither denies what the other asserts. It is to be observed, that some fowls live mostly in the water, others partly on land, andpartly on water, while a third sort live altogether on land. This diversity countenances the opinion of many of the ancients, that they were made partly out of the water, or of both mixed together.
