They are lethargically secure, no ruin but their own can stir them. But •hat which could not Instruere, must Destruere: if they be not deterred by others •hey must be destroyed themselves. Thunder proceeds from a vapour lifted up from •he earth, and compassed with a cold cloud: in the agitation or struggling it takes ••re, and then breaks out where the cloud is thinnest: and being out, sometimes it ••rikes the clothes, not the body: sometimes the body, not the clothes. So doth •reaching; it is the vapour or breath of the Spirit, surrounded with the cold and waterish humours of our sins: it struggles with them, and in the strife catcheth fire; •nd so vents it self to the terror of the world. Sometimes by menaces and examples, […] strikes our garments, not our selves: sometimes it goes farther, and strikes also our •wne hearts. Oh then let us fear Gods Judgements upon others, that we may ne•er feel them our selves.
