almighty_a power_n to_o punish_v it_o a_o sufficient_a reason_n why_o they_o shall_v fear_v and_o quake_v and_o tremble_v what_o though_o they_o live_v in_o such_o place_n and_o part_n of_o the_o world_n that_o be_v not_o so_o subject_a to_o earthquake_n as_o some_o other_o place_n be_v will_v they_o say_v first_o we_o live_v upon_o that_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n that_o be_v only_o stony_a

of_o the_o earth_n that_o have_v not_o those_o cavern_n in_o which_o those_o vapour_n that_o cause_v earthquake_n be_v generate_v therefore_o we_o be_v in_o no_o danger_n in_o the_o body_n of_o man_n wind_n and_o vapour_n be_v soon_o and_o more_o stir_v in_o the_o bowel_n and_o hollow_a part_n thereof_o than_o in_o the_o hand_n and_o bone_n and_o more_o close_a and_o solid_a member_n in_o

three_o will_v they_o say_v we_o live_v in_o inland_a town_n and_o not_o near_o the_o sea_n which_o be_v most_o obnoxious_a to_o such_o earthquake_n because_o such_o place_n be_v more_o easy_o fill_v with_o vapour_n therefore_o we_o need_v not_o fear_v four_o will_v they_o say_v let_v they_o live_v in_o fear_n of_o earthquake_n where_o the_o earth_n they_o live_v upon_o be_v both_o soft_a and_o full_a of_o cavern_n and_o near_o the_o sea_n as_o most_o liable_a thereunto_o let_v they_o quake_v when_o the_o earth_n do_v not_o because_o it_o be_v so_o subject_a in_o such_o place_n to_o such_o tremble_a fit_n but_o our_o habitation_n be_v on_o hard_a and_o rocky_a solid_a place_n without_o such_o concavity_n and_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o land_n remote_a from_o sea_n and_o therefore_o

and_o hard_a than_o the_o place_n you_o boast_v you_o live_v upon_o as_o if_o god_n arm_n be_v so_o short_a he_o can_v not_o reach_v you_o as_o if_o your_o mountain_n stand_v so_o strong_a it_o can_v
