Thus the Lord has preserved water
on three fourths of the globe and has made it salty to preserve it.
Salty water does not decompose, and that is the arrangement of
providence. The Lord has engaged the powerful sun to evaporate the water
of planets like earth and distill it into clear water
in the clouds and then stock it on the peaks of mountains, as we stock
water in overhead tanks for later distribution. part of the stock of
water is refrigerated into ice, so that it will not flood the earth for
no good purpose. The ice melts gradually throughout the year, flows down
through the great rivers, and glides down to the sea again for
preservation.
