Surely many of these grey hairs are upon us at this day: it will be sad if England be like Ephraim, and know it not. It is worse not to know we have grey hairs, then to have them. The one is but our affliction, the other is our sin. Grey hairs are upon us, strangers have devoured our strength; as many oppressing mountains are removed (for which we ought to bless God, and admire his power) so some supporting mountains have been removed, and others shake terribly, for which we ought to mourn, and be humbled under the mighty hand of God. If we know not what God hath done, he can quickly do enough to make himself known. They who will not see the hand of God, when it is lifted up (that they may be humbled) shall see it and be ashamed (Isa. 26.11.) if the removing and shaking of our mountains do not awaken us, the overturning of them shall; That's the next act of divine power in this noble description.

And overturneth them in his anger.
