2
Before it thundered and lightened, or ever the foundations of paradise were laid,
3
Before the fair flowers were seen, or ever the moveable powers were established, before the innumerable multitude of angels were gathered together,
4
Or ever the heights of the air were lifted up, before the measures of the firmament were named, or ever the chimneys in Sion were hot,
5
And ere the present years were sought out, and or ever the inventions of them that now sin were turned, before they were sealed that have gathered faith for a treasure:
6
Then did I consider these things, and they all were made through me alone, and through none other: by me also they shall be ended, and by none other.
