2. The Power of God that also is seen in the Snow. As in the Rain, so in the Snow, Job 37.6. the small Rain, and the Great Rain of His Strength. Tis called so, because God doth show his strength, what He can do when great Rain comes. So the great Snow declares His strength: as other the like works of His Providence declare the Power of God. In the next verse it is said, Who can stand before His Cold? So, who can stand before His Snow? His Power is such that He can make the Cold so Extreme as that •o mortal can stand before it. Job 37.22. Fair weather comes out of the North, with God is terrible Majesty. In as much as ⟨p. 84⟩Fair weather comes out of the North; as when God causes the North wind to blow, there is a marvellous alteration in the weather, this shows that with God there is Terrible Majesty. And the Ice declares the Glorious Power of God. Sometimes there are great floating Islands of Ice terrible to behold. And some of those Islands of Ice have been several scores, •ay some hundreds of Miles in length. The Almighty God whose Power can thus congeal the Water, what is not He able to do? In some Northern Countries, the Sea has been so frozen as that Armies with Horses and Wagons, have passed for scores of Miles over it. Chronologers inform us, That in the Year 775. the Sea was frozen for Fifty Leagues, and the Ice was compacted as into a Rock Thirty Cubits deep; also such a quantity of snow falling, as that it was raised to the height of Thirty Cubits above the Ice. When God divided the Sea, for the Children •ofo Israel to pass over, He showed His Power. So when He makes Bridges of Ice, that men may pass over great Rivers and great Seas, there is in it an Evidence of the Power of the mighty God. So are we to say ⟨p. 85⟩concerning the snow: Especially considering God does cause it to come by a Word. Job 27.6. He says unto the Snow, be thou on the Earth. God speaks the Word and it is done presently. As in the Context before us, His word runs very swiftly. We often see it, when the Ground is bare, if God speaks the word, the Earth is covered with snow in a few Minutes time. Here is the Power of the Great GOD. If all the Princes and Great Ones of the Earth, should send their Commands to the Clouds, not a Flake of snow would come from thence.
