The World is not a material, but a Mystical Sea. Time was, that the whole world was a Sea. Gen. 7. The waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth, and 1all the high hills, that were under the whole Heaven, were covered. Fifteen Cubits upward did the waters prevail, and the Mountains were covered. As a Poet according with the Scripture:
The World is not a materiall, but a Mysticall Sea. Time was, that the whole world was a Sea. Gen. 7. The waters preuailed exceedingly vpon the earth, and 1all the high hils, that were vnder the whole Heauen, were couered. Fifteene Cubites vpward did the waters preuaile, and the Mountaines were couered. As a Poet according with the Scripture:
Omnia Pontus erant, deerant quoque littora Ponto. All was a Sea, and that sea had no shores. The Deluge of sin is no less now, then was then the deluge of Waters. The flood of wickedness brought that flood of vengeance. If their souls had not been first drowned, their bodies had not been overwhelmed. The same over-flowing of iniquity shall at last drown the world in fire.

The floud of wickednesse brought that floud of vengeance. If their soules had not bene first drowned, their bodies had not bene ouerwhelmed. The same ouer-flowing of iniquity shall at last drowne the world in fire.
