Habakkuk3:8
Verſe 8. Was the Lord diſpleaſed againſt the Rivers?] As Xerxes, that brutiſh man, was againſt the Helleſpont, for battering his bridge of boates, beating it and caſting a pair of fetters into it? Was God thus angry againſt Jordan, and againſt the red-Sea? No ſuch matter. If God ſeem angry at any time againſt the reaſonleſſe, or liveleſſe creatures, it is for a puniſhment of mans ſin. But here his end and purpoſe was to ſhew; that he did ride upon thoſe horſes and charets (the rivers, and ſea) for the ſalvation of his people. He did ſo when time was: and that he will do ſo again, when time ſhall ſerve, this queſtion in the text ſhews, that there is no queſtion to be made of it.
