O merciful God, what hath the Pope to do with the lightening: what can a piece of wax prevail to the staying of a tempest? The Lord of heaven and earth, it is he that sendeth forth lightnings, and raiseth up tempests. Fire and 1hail, snow and vapours, stormy wind execute his word. God will send forth his lightening and consume them. Behold (saith 2Jeremiah) the tempest of the Lord goeth forth in his wrath, and a violent whirl ⟨image 126⟩wind shall fall down upon the head of the wicked.
