Bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly.] ^aThe eyes of all things ••oke up unto thee, O Lord: not only expecting their conservation by thy providence, but also attending thy direction for their obedience. The winds from their •ves, the rain from their bottles, the waters from their channels all answer the Lord, as the Israelites did Joshua: ^bAll that thou commandest us, we will do: and •hither soever thou sendest us, we will go. We are ready to be charged, what shall we do? He saith, clouds pour down, seas break loose, smite the world, drown […]. Lo, how they concur in their ready execution, and unite their forces to an universal flood. The points I insist upon, are three: How this deluge was caused, •ow far it prevailed, how long it continued; with some useful observations de•ived from them.
