A commentary or, exposition upon the divine second epistle general, writtenA commentary or, exposition vpon the diuine second epistle generall, written

This opening of the windows, is the breaking of the clouds, wherein the waters are contained.^o He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not […] under them. Here he unbound those vessels, and made vents for the rain like windows. Seneca writing of the general deluge, which he thinks not past but to come, gives these reasons. 1. The swelling and over flowing of the seas. 2. The earth itself putrefying and resolving into waters. 3. The conjunction of celestial bodies: as the world shall be drowned, saith he, when such stars concur in Cancer: so […] shall be burned when the same company mere in Capricorn. But indeed, these seem to be true causes. 1. The issuing forth of waters from the earth. 2. The violent eruption of the seas. 3. The continual rain from the clouds. 4. Which were increased by the liquefaction and distilling of the air into water.

But indeed, these seeme to be true causes. 1. The issuing forth of waters from the earth. 2. The violent eruption of the seas. 3. The continuall raine from the cloudes. 4. Which were encreased by the liquefaction and distilling of the aire into water.
