First, That God doth sometimes speak unto a People by terrible things.
Here I shall show: 1. How God may be said to speak. 2. What those terrible things are by which God doth sometimes speak. 3. Why God doth sometimes speak unto a People by terrible things; and then apply.
1. How God may be said to speak.
God being a Spirit, hath no Mouth nor Tongue properly as men have, who have bodies, and therefore his way of speaking is not like ours (though sometimes he hath created a Voice in as articulate sound as if it had proceeded from the mouth of man to declare his will) but there are several ways in which God hath spoken and doth speak unto the Children of men, by which he doth as really and effectually make known his mind, as if he spake with mans voice.
