There goes lightly a Smoke before this Fire. Reu. 9. ⟨p. 122⟩1He opened the bottomless pit, and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace, and the Sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke, Locusts upon the earth, When we see smoke we conclude their is fire. Christ will not quench the smoking flax; for the smoke 2without shows a spark of faith within.
