he_o have_v set_v bound_n to_o the_o water_n even_o until_o light_v and_o darkness_n come_v to_o a_o end_n behold_v yet_o another_o work_n of_o god_n well_o worthy_a to_o be_v remember_v namely_o that_o the_o water_n bylowe_v be_v bound_v and_o that_o god_n hold_v they_o fast_o so_o as_o they_o can_v pass_v their_o bound_n and_o that_o the_o same_o endure_v and_o shall_v continual_o endure_v unto_o the_o world_n end_n he_o have_v speak_v asore_z of_o the_o water_n above_o that_o be_v of_o the_o water_n that_o god_n draw_v up_o in_o the_o cloud_n and_o be_v hold_v in_o the_o air_n till_o he_o make_v they_o pour_v down_o in_o rain_n and_o now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o god_n do_v not_o bind_v the_o sea_n and_o the_o other_o water_n all_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v cover_v with_o they_o if_o a_o man_n ask_v the_o philosopher_n and_o such_o as_o serche_fw-fr the_o whole_a order_n of_o nature_n they_o will_v confess_v that_o if_o the_o element_n have_v their_o full_a scope_n throughout_o according_a unto_o their_o nature_n the_o earth_n shall_v be_v hide_v under_o the_o water_n and_o in_o good_a sooth_n experience_n show_v it_o to_o be_v so_o for_o why_o be_v the_o earth_n in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o world_n but_o because_o it_o be_v firm_a and_o substantial_a by_o reason_n of_o his_o weight_n for_o the_o water_n be_v light_a and_o there_o withal_o they_o shed_v so_o as_o they_o be_v not_o so_o firm_a consequent_o the_o air_n be_v above_o the_o water_n and_o the_o fire_n be_v also_o above_o the_o air_n we_o see_v then_o that_o the_o element_n be_v distinguish_v according_a to_o their_o property_n see_v that_o the_o air_n inviron_v the_o whole_a earth_n as_o we_o see_v the_o water_n also_o aught_o to_o go_v round_o between_o they_o both_o that_o be_v to_o say_v between_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o air_n for_o that_o be_v their_o proper_a place_n and_o situation_n and_o like_v as_o the_o fire_n overspread_v all_o so_o also_o will_v the_o water_n not_o leave_v one_o foot_n of_o dry_a ground_n the_o very_a mountain_n yea_o even_o the_o high_a of_o they_o shall_v be_v cover_v under_o they_o but_o now_o we_o see_v low_a and_o hollow_a place_n abide_v dry_a and_o yet_o the_o sea_n mount_v above_o they_o and_o so_o a_o man_n may_v perceive_v the_o reason_n that_o i_o show_v before_o for_o when_o we_o consider_v what_o a_o thing_n the_o sea_n be_v special_o when_o it_o rise_v aloft_o it_o be_v a_o wonder_n that_o the_o earth_n be_v not_o overwhelm_v by_o it_o we_o see_v here_o a_o notable_a miracle_n yea_o if_o man_n do_v not_o shut_v their_o eye_n through_o their_o own_o unthankfulness_n the_o very_a heathen_a man_n as_o reason_n drive_v they_o thereunto_o acknowledge_v that_o whereas_o it_o please_v god_n too_o have_v some_o place_n void_a the_o same_o be_v too_o plant_v mankind_n in_o it_o and_o that_o he_o have_v a_o respect_n unto_o man_n when_o he_o ordain_v a_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o abide_v dry_a the_o very_a infidel_n speak_v this_o and_o why_o for_o the_o truth_n be_v so_o strong_a as_o they_o be_v enforce_v to_o confess_v it_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n who_o be_v he_o that_o glorify_v god_n how_o do_v we_o acknowledge_v the_o good_a that_o he_o have_v do_v we_o we_o be_v dumb_a for_o any_o praise_v of_o he_o and_o which_o worse_o be_v we_o defile_v the_o earth_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o to_o dwell_v upon_o he_o have_v make_v the_o water_n too_o withdraw_v themselves_o and_o he_o have_v as_o it_o be_v fetter_v they_o up_o in_o chain_n &_o although_o he_o give_v we_o room_n here_o to_o dwell_v upon_o yet_o as_o i_o say_v we_o defile_v the_o earth_n with_o our_o filthiness_n &_o sin_n very_o all_o the_o acknoweledgement_n that_o god_n receive_v at_o our_o hand_n be_v that_o no_o man_n open_v his_o mouth_n to_o glorify_v he_o and_o so_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o these_o thing_n be_v tell_v we_o consider_v how_o our_o wit_n be_v so_o dull_a as_o we_o think_v not_o upon_o they_o special_o we_o must_v mark_v that_o which_o shall_v be_v say_v new_a again_o according_a also_o as_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o chief_o by_o the_o prophet_n jeremy_n which_o be_v that_o the_o sea_n be_v so_o violent_a a_o thing_n as_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o mean_n to_o hold_v it_o in_o &_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o be_v bar_v within_o list_n the_o sea_n seem_v to_o threaten_v to_o drown_v the_o earth_n and_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v swallow_v up_o at_o the_o rush_v forth_o of_o every_o wave_n consider_v then_o that_o we_o see_v so_o great_a a_o violence_n in_o the_o sea_n which_o be_v so_o terrible_a a_o thing_n as_o it_o make_v the_o hair_n to_o stand_v up_o upon_o our_o head_n must_v we_o not_o needs_o behold_v there_o the_o mighty_a and_o invincible_a hand_n of_o god_n and_o confess_v that_o his_o power_n which_o be_v speak_v of_o here_o be_v more_o than_o manifest_a so_o much_o the_o more_o than_o ought_v we_o to_o be_v touch_v to_o the_o quick_a with_o it_o but_o what_o ▪_o when_o god_n make_v the_o sea_n to_o remove_v after_o that_o sort_n we_o have_v not_o the_o wit_n to_o know_v god_n infinite_a goodness_n towards_o we_o &_o his_o like_a power_n to_o yield_v he_o thanks_n for_o it_o and_o too_o confess_v ourselves_o behold_v too_o he_o diverse_a way_n for_o our_o life_n not_o only_o for_o create_v we_o and_o put_v we_o into_o the_o world_n &_o for_o nurrish_v we_o here_o but_o special_o for_o that_o the_o earth_n be_v not_o drown_v under_o the_o water_n and_o that_o there_o be_v some_o dry_a ground_n leave_v for_o we_o to_o dwell_v upon_o behold_v i_o say_v for_o what_o purpose_n here_o be_v special_a mention_n make_v of_o the_o sea_n and_o of_o god_n withhold_v of_o it_o so_o as_o the_o water_n be_v after_o a_o sort_n shut_v up_o in_o it_o which_o thing_n no_o chain_n nor_o cord_n can_v bring_v too_o pass_v all_o the_o wild_a beast_n of_o the_o world_n may_v easy_o be_v tame_v than_o the_o sea_n and_o yet_o god_n rule_v it_o yea_o and_o overrule_v it_o after_o a_o wonderful_a and_o incomprehensible_a manner_n and_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o mark_v the_o say_n that_o job_n add_v here_o which_o be_v that_o the_o same_o shall_v continue_v till_o light_v and_o darkness_n come_v to_o a_o end_n and_o be_v meddle_v together_o this_o be_v to_o do_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o

the_o end_n they_o shall_v learn_v to_o humble_v themselves_o and_o to_o walk_v in_o great_a wariness_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o job_n mean_v too_o augment_v the_o commendation_n of_o the_o power_n that_o be_v declare_v here_o to_o be_v in_o god_n when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o water_n be_v bound_v &_o border_v till_o the_o world_n come_v to_o a_o end_n and_o till_o light_v and_o darkness_n

that_o not_o only_o the_o sea_n but_o also_o the_o ●yvers_n do_v some_o time_n get_v the_o upper_a hand_n and_o so_o pass_v their_o bound_n as_o they_o tear_v up_o all_o thing_n before_o they_o so_o that_o both_o house_n and_o vineiard_n be_v overwhelm_v and_o exceed_v great_a and_o excessive_a breach_n be_v make_v by_o violence_n of_o the_o sea_n the_o answer_n thereunto_o be_v that_o yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n cease_v not_o to_o preserve_v the_o world_n in_o general_a and_o his_o suffer_v of_o the_o sea_n to_o pass_v his_o bound_n in_o that_o wise_a be_v to_o make_v we_o to_o think_v upon_o his_o power_n which_o be_v show_v we_o here_o for_o if_o we_o be_v well_o advise_v yea_o or_o if_o there_o be_v but_o a_o little_a reason_n in_o we_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o will_v daily_o honour_v god_n for_o our_o life_n in_o that_o he_o preserve_v we_o even_o in_o the_o grave_n ▪_o how_o be_v we_o here_o upon_o earth_n sure_o even_o as_o in_o a_o grave_n for_o behold_v the_o

be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o mark_v
we_o learn_v to_o submit_v ourselves_o to_o his_o ordinance_n and_o allow_v whatsoever_o he_o do_v or_o dispose_v howbeit_o it_o will_v be_v good_a for_o i_o to_o expound_v the_o word_n before_o i_o gather_v the_o general_a doctrine_n it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n restrain_v or_o hold_v back_o the_o drop_n of_o water_n and_o it_o serve_v too_o express_v better_o his_o excellent_a power_n which_o will_v not_o be_v believe_v if_o man_n see_v it_o not_o with_o their_o eye_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v tell_v we_o that_o the_o drop_n of_o water_n be_v hold_v up_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o water_n which_o be_v so_o fine_a and_o subtle_a a_o thing_n that_o it_o shed_v and_o soak_v away_o and_o have_v no_o fastness_n in_o it_o be_v nevertheless_o hold_v up_o in_o the_o air_n notwithstanding_o the_o great_a number_n of_o the_o drop_n and_o the_o great_a quantity_n of_o it_o we_o will_v think_v it_o strange_a if_o we_o have_v not_o experience_n of_o it_o if_o water_n be_v a_o firm_a and_o substantial_a thing_n there_o may_v well_o be_v some_o mountain_n of_o it_o for_o god_n to_o hold_v together_o but_o whereas_o there_o be_v a_o hundred_o million_o of_o drop_n in_o one_o little_a cloud_n and_o every_o drop_n be_v of_o it_o own_o nature_n ready_a to_o fall_v away_o and_o to_o disperse_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o body_n as_o sooth_o nothing_o be_v more_o

hold_v together_o if_o we_o know_v it_o not_o and_o perceive_v it_o not_o we_o will_v never_o believe_v it_o must_v we_o not_o needs_o then_o acknowledge_v a_o infinite_a power_n in_o god_n when_o we_o see_v the_o thing_n that_o can_v not_o be_v believe_v and_o so_o eliu_n in_o say_v that_o god_n hold_v together_o the_o drop_n of_o water_n mean_v to_o express_v better_o the_o mighty_a power_n that_o god_n show_v we_o in_o hold_v up_o the_o rain_n in_o the_o air_n and_o afterward_o he_o say_v that_o of_o his_o vapour_n he_o make_v rain_n if_o a_o man_n demand_v whereof_o rain_n be_v engender_v i_o say_v of_o nothing_o the_o vapour_n of_o it_o own_o self_n will_v not_o rise_v up_o from_o the_o earth_n which_o have_v her_o steame_n within_o her_o hole_n for_o that_o be_v her_o

draw_v it_o up_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o believe_v it_o if_o we_o see_v it_o not_o but_o it_o be_v see_v manifest_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o vapour_n which_o be_v nothing_o that_o be_v to_o say_v which_o appear_v not_o at_o all_o in_o our_o sight_n do_v rise_v upward_o against_o their_o nature_n and_o when_o they_o be_v up_o aloft_o rain_n be_v make_v and_o fashion_v of_o they_o and_o afterward_o the_o earth_n be_v moisten_v with_o it_o and_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n and_o man_n take_v their_o nourishment_n thereof_o behold_v our_o lord_n dry_v the_o earth_n by_o draw_v the_o vapour_n from_o it_o after_o that_o manner_n and_o it_o be_v asmuch_o as_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v draw_v the_o sap_n and_o ivice_n out_o of_o a_o thing_n so_o as_o he_o shall_v leave_v nomore_o strength_n in_o it_o you_o see_v then_o that_o it_o wither_v but_o god_n find_v a_o contrary_a mean_n when_o he_o have_v so_o dry_v the_o earth_n and_o drain_v as_o it_o be_v the_o blood_n and_o substance_n out_o of_o it_o he_o moist_v it_o again_o with_o the_o same_o and_o we_o see_v that_o rain_n give_v abundance_n of_o fruit_n according_a as_o it_o be_v show_v here_o see_v then_o that_o we_o perceive_v it_o to_o be_v so_o must_v it_o not_o needs_o be_v that_o we_o be_v convict_v of_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n which_o we_o will_v not_o consider_v before_o although_o then_o that_o we_o shut_v our_o eye_n yet_o do_v god_n spite_n of_o our_o tooth_n show_v himself_o to_o we_o &_o his_o majesty_n be_v visible_a to_o we_o in_o all_o sort_n immediate_o it_o be_v declare_v that_o

or_o else_o do_v as_o it_o be_v walk_v upon_o they_o to_o make_v his_o triumph_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o god_n be_v present_v unto_o we_o as_o a_o prince_n in_o that_o he_o use_v the_o heaven_n as_o his_o palace_n and_o his_o majesty_n show_v itself_o there_o again_o the_o cloud_n be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v the_o pillar_n of_o his_o pavilion_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v the_o more_o move_v to_o consider_v his_o royal_a workmanship_n then_o see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o yield_v god_n that_o which_o be_v his_o own_o and_o let_v not_o his_o glory_n be_v deface_v through_o ou●_n unthankfulness_n moreover_o it_o be_v not_o for_o nought_o that_o whereas_o this_o similitude_n have_v be_v set_v down_o already_o heretofore_o eliu_n repeat_v it_o here_o yet_o once_o

not_o enter_v into_o it_o with_o a_o fantic_a boldness_n to_o comprehend_v all_o god_n secret_n for_o sing_v he_o dwell_v in_o a_o palace_n he_o must_v at_o leastwise_o have_v as_o much_o power_n as_o a_o worldly_a king_n who_o be_v but_o a_o frail_a creature_n so_o then_o let_v we_o content_v ourselves_o with_o the_o sight_n of_o that_o excellent_a palace_n to_o honour_v his_o majesty_n and_o if_o

too_o consider_v in_o this_o manner_n of_o speech_n where_o the_o cloud_n be_v term_v the_o pillar_n of_o god_n palace_n and_o be_v say_v to_o hold_v up_o his_o pavilion_n or_o else_o to_o be_v join_v to_o it_o as_o a_o part_n of_o it_o for_o it_o serve_v to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o to_o taste_v what_o god_n majesty_n be_v so_o far_o forth_o as_o he_o utter_v the_o same_o too_o we_o by_o his_o work_n eliu_fw-mi speak_v also_o of_o the_o effect_n of_o rain_n he_o say_v that_o god_n execute_v his_o judgement_n upon_o man_n and_o give_v abundant_o whereof_o to_o live_v whereby_o he_o mean_v that_o god_n will_v when_o he_o list_v make_v the_o rain_n to_o serve_v to_o set_v forth_o his_o goodness_n so_o that_o if_o he_o mind_n to_o show_v himself_o a_o fosterfather_n towards_o man_n the_o cloud_n shall_v bring_v he_o wherewith_o to_o further_a they_o for_o like_a as_o if_o a_o prince_n intend_v to_o succour_v a_o country_n that_o suffer_v famine_n he_o will_v appoint_v man_n to_o bring_v victual_n thither_o from_o a_o far_o off_o both_o by_o land_n and_o by_o water_n even_o so_o the_o cloud_n bring_v we_o god_n provision_n namely_o when_o he_o utter_v

there_o and_o why_o for_o when_o reins_n be_v outrageous_a they_o do_v great_a harm_n and_o make_v such_o flood_n that_o both_o hay_n and_o corn_n be_v sweep_v away_o moreover_o there_o follow_v other_o wasting_n also_o according_a as_o it_o be_v diverse_a time_n see_v that_o the_o sea_n drown_v a_o great_a country_n you_o see_v then_o how_o god_n do_v by_o rain_n execute_v his_o justice_n

so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o grant_v our_o god_n the_o mighty_a power_n which_o belong_v unto_o he_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v exempt_v from_o this_o fearfulness_n which_o the_o
