The First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians

The unsearchable places of the abysses and the unfathomable realms of the lower world are controlled by the same ordinances.

The hollow of the boundless sea is gathered by his working into its allotted places, and does not pass the barriers placed around it, but does even as he enjoined on it;

for he said Thus far shalt thou come, and thy waves shall be broken within thee.

The ocean, which men cannot pass, and the worlds beyond it, are ruled by the same injunctions of the Master.

The seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter give place to one another in peace.
