Prepare

PREPARE. The Word Præparare, or Parare, is often us’d for founding, fixing, establishing. It answers to the Hebrew Word Kun, which bears the same Signification. Præparans montes in virtute sua. He founds, he fixes the Mountains by his Power. Parata sedes tua ex tunc. Thy Seat, thy Throne is established from all Eternity. Super flumina præparavit orbem terræ. He has fix’d the Earth upon the Rivers, or upon the Waters.
