First, To note the swiftness and suddenness of the judgements of God. Floods come often very suddenly, and rise not only beyond expectation, but before there is any the least expectation of them. Noah's flood was long foretold before it came, but when the time came, wherein it should come, it came ⟨p. 150⟩at once. Though God give long warning of his judgements, yet most men are surprised with them, they come like a flood.

Secondly, To note the Irresistibleness of the Judgements of God; who or what can stand before mighty waters? Great floods do not only wash and overflow all, but ruin and overthrow all, there's no resisting. Such are the Judgements of God, they are a flood both for their sudden rising and breaking in upon sinners, and likewise for their Irresistible violence in breaking and ruining them.
