Why do you suppose the author would not just encode the Genesis passage as it is written in the Bible, instead of this syntax, which seems somewhat unnatural: "And serpent more subtle beasts the every field Lord Creator make..."
Thank you Dear Witch Mountain,
1) All can say is if it were Dee maybe he was not using a Bible at the time and relied on memory.
2) This too puzzled me for syntax: Yet Dee did intermix Welsh with English, example this poem!
Byd and Twys Welsh words.
This Letter third and last I minde to make,
At your request for very vertues sake;
Your written panges, and methods set aside,
From that I byd, looke that you never slide.
Cut that in Three, which Nature hath made One,
Then strengthen hyt, even by it self alone,
Wherewith then Cutte the poudred Sonne in twayne,
By length of tyme, and heale the woonde againe.
The self same Sunne twys yet more, ye must wounde,
Still with new Knives, of the same kinde, and grounde;
Our Monas trewe thus use by natures Law,
Both binde and lewse, only with rype and rawe,
And ay thanke God who only is our Guyde,
All is ynugh, no more then at this Tyde.
