             I
             but
             how
             comes
             the
             fire
             and
             water
             to
             break
             forth
             to
             destroy
             at
             some
             times
             more
             then
             another
             ?
          
           
             I
             answer
             ,
             When
             the
             fulnesse
             of
             time
             comes
             ,
             that
             earth
             begins
             to
             stink
             with
             the
             abominations
             of
             man
             ,
             then
             the
             Father
             arises
             up
             and
             shews
             himself
             within
             the
             Creation
             of
             fire
             ,
             water
             ,
             earth
             and
             air
             .
             And
             
             the
             curse
             that
             is
             brought
             upon
             this
             by
             man
             cannot
             abide
             the
             presence
             of
             the
             Lord
             ,
             but
             rises
             up
             and
             runs
             together
             into
             a
             head
             to
             oppose
             the
             Lord
             ;
             but
             indeed
             it
             destroyes
             man
             that
             was
             the
             cause
             of
             it
             .
             So
             that
             the
             risings
             up
             of
             waters
             ,
             and
             the
             breakings
             forth
             of
             fire
             to
             waste
             and
             destroy
             ,
             are
             but
             that
             curse
             ,
             or
             the
             works
             of
             mans
             own
             hands
             ,
             that
             rise
             up
             and
             run
             together
             to
             destroy
             their
             Maker
             ,
             and
             torment
             him
             that
             brought
             the
             curse
             sorth
             .
          
           
             While
             water
             and
             fire
             are
             useful
             ,
             the
             blessing
             of
             the
             Creation
             lies
             in
             them
             ,
             and
             comes
             from
             them
             to
             preserve
             the
             Creation
             for
             the
             glory
             of
             the
             Maker
             .
          
           
             But
             when
             they
             break
             forth
             to
             waste
             and
             destroy
             ,
             this
             is
             the
             curse
             ,
             the
             burden
             of
             the
             Creation
             ,
             that
             breaks
             forth
             to
             destroy
             unrighteous
             man
             that
             caused
             it
             .
          
           
             And
             it
             doth
             break
             forth
             when
             the
             Lord
             appears
             in
             the
             Creation
             ;
             as
             I
             said
             ,
             when
             the
             Sun
             shines
             the
             venome
             in
             sore
             eyes
             rises
             up
             and
             smarts
             :
             So
             when
             righteous
             power
             begins
             to
             move
             in
             the
             fire
             ,
             and
             upon
             the
             water
             ,
             the
             curse
             that
             is
             in
             these
             Elements
             arises
             up
             and
             disturbs
             the
             Creation
             ,
             to
             the
             destruction
             of
             man
             whose
             work
             it
             is
             .
          
           
             I
             but
             one
             man
             kils
             another
             by
             wars
             ,
             and
             such
             like
             ,
             Is
             not
             this
             the
             wrath
             of
             God
             upon
             them
             ?
          
           
             I
             answer
             in
             the
             same
             manner
             as
             I
             did
             before
             ;
             for
             as
             the
             cursed
             flesh
             in
             one
             body
             torments
             it self

             when
             he
             sees
             himself
             a
             devil
             .
          
           
             So
             multitudes
             of
             bodies
             of
             men

             Sun
             of
             Righteousnesse
             begins

             covetous
             man

             Truly
             I
             can

             that
             while
             I
             was
             a
             blind
             Professour
             to
             a
             strict

             they
             call
             it
             ,
             and
             a
             hearer
             of
             Sermons
             ,
             and
             never
             questioned
             what
             they
             spake
             ,
             but
             believed
             as
             the
             learned
             Clergy
             (
             the

             believed
             ;
             and
             still
             forgot
             what
             I
             heard
             ;
             though

             words
             they
             spake
             were
             like
             a
             pleasant
             song
             to
             me
             ,
             while
             I
             was

             And
             this
             I
             know
             is
             the
             condition
             of

             your

             let
             them
             say
             what
             they
             will
             ,
             for
             they
             live
             in

             While

             I
             say
             ,
             I
             was
             counted
             by

             But
             since
             it
             pleased
             the
