Sirs, Don't you clearly see the Eternal Power and Godhead of Him, who can shake the Earth, yea, shake it all to pieces at His Pleasure? Oh! see it, and shake before it! As when He sets fast the Mountains, He shows that He is Girded with Power; So, when He shakes the Mountains He shows that He has a Girdle of matchless Power. This whole Globe, tho' the Ambit of it be more than Twenty four Thousand and Nine Hundred Miles, and in the solid Content must be more than Two Hundred and Sixty one Thousands of Millions, yet it is no more than the light Dust of ⟨p. 15⟩the Balance, in the Hand of the glorious GOD; who made it, and can Tear it and Rend it as He pleases. In our Earthquake, the great GOD, says to us, yea, to the greatest of Men, with an infinitely greater Claim, than a Roman Governor could speak so, to any Man, Knowest thou not that I have power over thee, to put thee to Death, or save thee alive? We cannot but own His Absolute and Sovereign Dominion over us, and our Lives, and if He go to extinguish our Lives by an Earthquake, we must own, We are in the House of the Potter, and Lord, Thou mayst break us and lodge us where thou pleasest. But at the same time, the Earthquake proclaims the Irresistible POWER, where with He can Crush a World, (as He made it) with a Word. If He touch the Earth, it shivers and crumbles before Him. The Finger of GOD, it can rip open the Earth, and cause Castles, and Cities, and the largest of Territories to sink into it in a Moment. Lords who knows the power of thine Anger!—O all you that go on still in your Trespasses and persist impenitently in Rebellion against the glorious GOD; What are you but Fighters against GOD? What mean you, O Fool-hardy Wretches? Dare you provoke Him who is Lord GOD Omnipotent? Are you stronger than He? O Tremble to continue under the Wrath of the Almighty. The Trembling Earth calls upon you; O Fear Him, that is able to destroy! Fear Him, on whose order for it, Earth, open thy Mouth! you you presently go down into the Pit; you are swallowed up in a Moment!
