In this that he saith, The waters were afraid, when they saw God.1 First the manner of speech in the Scripture is to be noted, that attributeth unto insensible things, sensible qualities: as in this place is attributed unto the water sight and fear, whereas in deed properly the water cannot see nor fear. But, when the Scripture useth any such phrase or speech, there is to be marked divers doctrines of edifying.2 First of GOD, then insensible creatures, and thirdly of man, for whose sake the Scripture sometime speaketh unto insensible creatures, as though they were sensible, and worketh miracles in them for the instruction and amendment of sensible and reasonable man.
