The Object of the Cry, is, The Wheels; but if you ask, Why such insensible things as Wheels have a Cry directed unto them? I think, 'tis to show, that all the Creatures, and all the Motions in the World, are under the Direction ⟨p. 6⟩of our Heavenly Lord; there is the Voice of the Lord; both to, and in, all Second Causes.
The Witness of the Cry is, The Prophet himself; It was Cried, said he, in my Ears: which teaches us, that the Ministers of God should Mind what He is a doing in the World; and we should have our Ears open to the Voice of our Lord in all Great Events, yea, and our Mouths open to utter it unto others that are concerned in those Events.

Well then; I shall but Obey and Practise my Text, when I Handle it. Let me have your Attention unto a mighty Cry, even unto that Voice, which is heard in Heaven it self, and which the Lord from Heaven is at this Day causing to be heard through our Earth; O WHEEL! O WHEEL!
