It is most true, that Augustine well observes,1 that Signa verba visibilia, verba signa avdibilia. Signs are as well visible words, as words audible signs ▪ and unto signs therefore is a Voice ascribed; Exod. 4.8. and by the rod is God said to speak as well as by the word to the understandings of those that are spiritually wise. Mic. 6.9. Jer. 9.12. When the Lion roars, who fears not? saith Amos c. 3.8. and shall God then roar from heaven, Amos. 1.2. and men not fear, yea not exceedingly fear end be dismayed here on earth? Psal. 76.8.
