2. The Snow is wholly at Gods Disposal, and therefore His Creature. There is not a Flake of snow that falls on the Ground without the hand of God. Mat. 10.29, 30. Not a sparrow falls to the Ground without the Will of your Heavenly Father, all the Hairs of your head are numbered. So the Great God has numbered all the Flakes of Snow that covers the Earth. Although' no man can number them, that God that tells the number of the Stars has numbered them all. Who is it that orders where the Snow shall fall? Amos 4.7. (says the Lord) cause it to Rain on one City and not on another. So the Lord causes it to Snow on one part of the Earth, and not on another. As we often see, in such a place there is but little snow, go but a few miles further there is a mighty snow. It is God that orders as Where, so When the snow shall fall, and how long it shall continue on the Ground, and what Effects it shall have; all these things are ordered by Him. Job 37.12. He turns about the Clouds according to His Counsel, they do whatsoever He Commands them in all the Earth. Psal. ⟨p. 78⟩148. 8. Firs and Hail, Snow and Vapour, and Stormy Wind fulfilling His Word. If there is a storm of Lightning, or a storm of Hail, or a storm of Snow, or a storm of Wind, all these fulfil His Word. So then this is His work; and indeed His only. Men can't by all their. skill produce that which is the First matter of the snow: although' a man when he has the Materials before him may by his Art produce it. He may turn Water into Ice in the hottest day in the summer. By his Philosophy and knowledge in the Nature of things, he may when materials are before him, produce Hoar-frost and Snow. But as for the first matter, not all the Men on Earth, nor all the Angels in Heaven are able to Create it. Nor can men give Snow like Wool. They can't give it in that abundance as to cover the face of the Earth. They can't adorn the Earth with that white Robe. No, it is the Great GOD that has made that Winter-clothing to keep the Earth warm. Therefore the snow is said to be one of His Treasures. Job 38.22. Hast thou entered into the Treasures of the Snow? A Treasure notes a great Quantity. The Great God has such Quantities ⟨p. 79⟩of Snow in His Treasures, as that he is able not only to cover the Earth, but to destroy the Earth therewith, if that were his Pleasure.
