times when there are no clouds to beat backe any vapors by the thick∣nesse and coldnesse of them, the se∣cond causes that God uses in this, are hidden from us onely, wee are sure of the supreme cause, it is hee that raiseth the stormy Wind.3. God is to bee praised in the po∣wer of them, they are of mighty force, Psal. 48. 3. Thou breakest the ships of Tarshis with an east Wind; of power and force to turne over ships, houses, rend Trees, to raise dreadfull waves, yea they rend the very Earth, the Moun∣taines and the Rockes, as 1 King. 19. 11. There was a strong Wind that rent the Mountaines, and tore in pie∣ces the Rockes. This is the hand of God, whereby hee overturneth the Mountaines by the rootes, of which Job speakes, Chap. 28. 9. This is that voyce of the Lord that breaketh the Cedars, yea the Cedars in Lebanon, the strongest Cedars of all. This is the voyce of the Lord that shaketh the Wildernesse, of which the Psalmist speakes, Psal. 29. 5, 8. Sabellicus anL. 10. c. 5.0
