The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
82
Then
she
asked,
Whether
the
first
Man
did
give
Names
to
all
the
various
sorts
of
Creatures
that
live
on
the
Earth?
Yes,
answered
they,
to
all
those
that
were
presented
to
him,
or
he
had
knowledg
of,
that
is,
to
all
the
prime
sorts;
but
not
to
every
particular:
for
of
Mankind,
said
they,
there
were
but
two
at
first;
and
as
they
did
encrease,
so
did
their
Names.
But,
said
the
Empress,
who
gave
the
Names
to
the
several
sorts
of
Fish?
The
posterity
of
Mankind,
answered
they.
Then
she
enquired,
Whether
there
were
no
more
kinds
of
Creatures
now,
then
at
the
first
Creation?
They
answered,
That
there
were
no
more
nor
fewer
kinds
of
Creatures
then
there
are
now;
but
there
are,
without
question,
more
particular
sorts
of
Creatures
now,
then
there
were
then.
she
asked
again,
Whether
all
those
Creatures
that
were
in
Paradise,
were
also
in
Noah's
Ark?
They
answered,
That
the
principal
kinds
had
been
there,
but
not
all
the
particulars.
Then
she
would
fain
know,
how
it
came,
that
both
Spirits
and
Men
did
fall
from
a
blessed
into
so
miserable
a
state
and
condition
as
they
are
now
in.
The
Spirits
answered,
By
disobedience.
The
Empress
asked,
Whence
this
disobedient
sin
did
proceed?
But
the
Spirits
desired
the
Empress
not
to
ask
them
any
such
questions,
because
they
went
beyond
their
knowledg.
