Speculum mundi. Or, A glass representing the face of the world. Shewing both that it did begin, and must also end: the manner how, and the time when, being largely examined. The whole of which, may be fitly called an hexameron. Or discourse of the clauses, continuance, and qualities of things in nature, occasioned as matter pertinent to the work done in the six days of the worlds creation. The fourth edition, much beautified and enlarged, by John Swan.
