heathen_a power_n by_o these_o and_o such_o like_a text_n of_o scripture_n it_o appear_v there_o be_v metaphorical_a earthquake_n to_o be_v distinguish_v from_o literal_a quest_n ii_o which_o be_v earthquake_n supernatural_a real_a and_o proper_a earthquake_n be_v either_o such_o as_o be_v cause_v by_o god_n immediate_a hand_n and_o power_n or_o such_o as_o have_v their_o cause_n in_o nature_n though_o these_o also_o be_v appoint_v and_o order_v and_o rule_v by_o the_o powerful_a providence_n of_o god_n and_o do_v not_o come_v as_o some_o call_v it_o by_o chance_n though_o the_o finger_n
