it_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o fan_n in_o his_o hand_n he_o may_v ventilate_v and_o agitate_v the_o still_a air_n into_o a_o wind_n how_o much_o more_o may_v the_o devil_n by_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o power_n and_o swiftness_n of_o their_o motion_n so_o compress_v and_o agitate_v the_o air_n as_o to_o throw_v down_o house_n and_o i_o think_v the_o wind_n that_o be_v buy_v and_o sell_v be_v no_o other_o what_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o air_n be_v when_o it_o be_v compress_v and_o move_v violent_o we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o breath_n of_o a_o bullet_n which_o sometime_o kill_v that_o man_n it_o never_o touch_v it_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n for_o the_o devil_n then_o if_o god_n suffer_v it_o to_o drive_v a_o ship_n at_o sea_n which_o way_n he_o please_v who_o motion_n be_v more_o swift_a and_o violent_a then_o that_o of_o a_o bullet_n and_o god_n suffer_v much_o for_o the_o trial_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o bring_v about_o the_o passage_n of_o his_o secret_n but_o most_o just_a providence_n so_o then_o no_o true_a wind_n be_v raise_v but_o by_o god_n for_o he_o it_o be_v that_o form_v the_o mountain_n and_o creat_v the_o wind_n 4.13_o amos_n 4.13_o nor_o nothing_o like_o a_o wind_n but_o by_o his_o permission_n for_o he_o have_v the_o devil_n as_o a_o dog_n in_o a_o chain_n and_o this_o dog_n can_v cease_v upon_o a_o swine_n without_o leave_n i_o dare_v say_v that_o if_o the_o devil_n can_v raise_v a_o tempest_n when_o and_o where_o he_o please_v he_o will_v strike_v the_o four_o corner_n of_o our_o temple_n and_o bury_v we_o all_o in_o their_o ruin_n when_o we_o

how_o little_a or_o remote_a soever_o in_o heaven_n he_o be_v a_o glorious_a god_n in_o earth_n he_o be_v a_o gracious_a god_n in_o the_o air_n he_o be_v a_o angry_a god_n in_o the_o sea_n he_o be_v a_o terrible_a god_n in_o hell_n he_o be_v a_o just_a god_n so_o that_o god_n be_v every_o where_o and_o wheresoever_o he_o be_v he_o be_v god_n bless_v for_o evermore_o but_o you_o of_o the_o tribe_n
