III. The Sea hath its Bounds set by the Almighty: He hath shut up the Sea with Doors, 1&c. and hath said, Hitherto shalt thou come, and no further; and here shall thy proud Waves be stayed: So the Lord sets Bounds to the Wrath and Rage of the Ungodly; no Creatures can go further than God permits them. As he that made the Sea, can master it; so he can soon put a Stop and Curb to the proudest Oppressor and Persecutor in the World. Let Men be as angry as they will, let them be as stormy as the boisterous Seas; yet the Lord hath said, Hitherto shall ye come, and no further. 2He stilleth the Noise of the Seas, the Noise of the Waves, and the Tumult of the People. Nay, the Devil himself is like a Sea shut up, he cannot do what he would, he hath Bounds set him, &c.
