"What greater delight is there
than to behold the earth
apparelled with plants
as with a robe of embroidered works,
set with Orient pearls
and garnished with the great diversitie of rare and costly jewels.
But these delights are in the outward senses.
The principle delight is in the mind,
singularly enriched with the knowledge of these visible things,
setting forth to us the invisible wisdom
and admirable workmanship of almighty God."
