Quod ita fieri oportere illa nimirum ratio cogit, quia in Genesi scriptum est, quod fecit Deus duo luminaria magna; luminare maius, ut praeesset diei; et luminare minus, ut praeesset nocti: vel, sicut alia dicit editio, luminare maius in inchoationem diei; et luminare minus in inchoationem noctis.
And that it should be so, this reason without doubt enforceth, that in Genesis it is written that, God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day; and the lesser light to rule the night: or as another rendering hath, the greater light to begin the day; and the lesser light to begin the night.
