God's terrible voice in the city

2. God speaketh unto men by his Works; and ⟨p. 8⟩that either by his works of Creation, or by his works of Providence.

1. God speaketh by his works of Creation; the Heavens have a voice and declare Gods glory, Psa. 19. 1. and the Earth hath not only an ear to hear, Isa. 1. 2. but also a tongue, as it were, to speak Gods praise. We read of the Seas roaring, and the Floods clapping their hands; of the Mountains singing, and the Trees of the wood sounding forth their joyful acclamations; yea, beasts and all cattle, creeping things and flying fowl, Dragons and all Deeps, Fire, Hail, Snow, Rain, and stormy wind, as they fulfil his Word, so they speak, and in their way declare what their Maker is, or rather in them, and by them, God doth speak, and make known something of himself, Psa. 148. 7, 8, 10. &c.
