First, Because as fire, they break forth suddenly, and unexpectedly; they are not like the fire that is for use, which we are long preparing and blowing, before it will burn; but the judgements of God are like an accidental fire, which breaks out, when no man looks for it, in a moment.

1Secondly, They are fire, because of their destroying nature, so the Text speaks, it eats up, or devours. Fire is a great eater, fire hath a strong stomach; what will not fire digest? Fire will digest the whole sublunary World at last; The Element shall melt with fervent heat: Fire will digest Stones, Adamant, and iron. Such is the wrath of God, nothing can stand ⟨p. 195⟩before it, it will subdue the hardest materials, and toughest pieces. The hot stomach of the Ostrich (as some affirm) concocts Iron; what will not the heat of Gods anger concoct, and consume to ashes?
