how_o and_o when_o god_n lay_v in_o his_o mighty_a treasure_n of_o storm_n and_o tempest_n to_o confound_v his_o enemy_n the_o fall_n of_o snow_n and_o rain_n may_v seem_v very_o accidental_a and_o according_a to_o the_o usual_a course_n of_o nature_n but_o i_o be_o satisfy_v that_o the_o wind_n and_o the_o water_n be_v lay_v up_o as_o in_o a_o treasury_n and_o when_o god_n please_v he_o send_v they_o abroad_o as_o well_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o some_o as_o for_o the_o destruction_n of_o other_o people_n thus_o do_v i_o conclude_v this_o figure_n with_o these_o difficult_a and_o amaze_a question_n to_o let_v you_o know_v that_o although_o god_n condescend_v to_o speak_v to_o we_o in_o a_o familiar_a way_n yet_o sometime_o too_o he_o think_v it_o convenient_a to_o let_v we_o
