And here is to be noted, against such men as attribute storms and calms to ⟨p. 126⟩Fortune:2 whereas only the voice of the Lord moveth tempests, and sendeth fair weather. It is also a doctrine against all men, that do think the waters and seas may be moved, and cease at their own pleasure: which is contrary to this Prophets doctrine,3 that saith: The waters saw the Lord & were afraid. So that their trouble riseth from the commandment of the Lord, and they cannot do what they lust,4 but what God biddeth them to do.
