THese
Sermons
both
in
their
preaching
&
printing
acknowledge
themselves
yours
.
For
your
sakes
they
were
first
made
,
and
it
is
not
for
their
owne
they
are
now
made
common
.
I
was
put
upon
two
evils
,
either
to
print
that
which
was
bad
,
or
else
by
transcribing
suffer
it
to
be
made
worse
.
I
have
chosen
the
lesse
,
and
God
may
bring
good
out
of
it
.
Discourses
of
this
nature
are
few
,
yet
great
need
have
Sea-men
of
them
,
debarred
for
the
most
part
from
the
sweet
comforts
,
and
many
helpes
which
our
Church
at
home
affordeth
;
Hee
that
considers
the
one
will
not
condemne
these
Sermons
for
Wast
:
and
hee
that
is
sensible
of
the
other
will
not
aske
to
what
purpose
are
they
?
Yet
though
others
should
cast
dead
flyes
into
this
ointment
,
my
hope
is
you
will
approve
it
for
bonum
opus
,
and
afford
it
your
Patronage
.
And
so
I
commit
it
to
you
,
and
you
to
the
protection
of
him
that
is
able
to
keepe
you
,
God
blessed
for
evermore
.

so
his
Providence
ever
since
hath
borne
up
the
pillers
of
it
.
Yet
the
Epicureans
,
and
Aristotle
himselfe
(
as
S.
Ambrose
witnesseth
)
chained
up
God
as
it
were
,
and
confined
Him
,
and
his
providence
to
the
circle
of
the
Heavens
.
And
as
Moses
was
perswaded
by
his
father
in
Law
to
Admit
into
his
consideration
none
but
weighty
and
important
affaires
,
and
to
transmit
ordinary
businesse
to
the
deliberation
of
inferiour
Magistrates
:
So
these
foolishly
perswaded
themselves
that
God
would
not
disquiet
,
nor
trouble
himselfe
with
the
government
and
administration
of
the

which
is
one
of
those
Res
exiguae
which
the
Poet
sayes
Iupiter
is
not
at
leisure
to
looke
after
;
but
rather
that
the
world
,
and
all
the
events
and
passages
in
it
are
committed
to
Fortune
.
But
whatsoever
they
pretended
,
Peter
Martyr
sayes
well
,
that
they
advanced
this
opinion
that
they
might
sinne
with
more
freedome
,
and
lesse
feare
,
as
the
whorish
woman
tooke
advantage
from
her
husbands
absence
,
to
admit
a
stranger
into
her
bosome
,
and
to
fill
her selfe
with
dalliance
till

morning
.
But
as
for
us
we
know
that
God
is
present
in
all
places
,
and
that
the
golden
chaine
of
his
providence
reaches
unto
the
least
and
lowest
of
his
creatures
,
for
can
God
bee
ashamed
to
care
for
that
which
he
was
not
ashamed
to
create
?
No
,
he
hath
made
the
small
,

of

And
David
in

Psalme
tels
us
that
the
traveller
meets
it
in
the
wildernesse
,
the
Captive
in

,

man

Now
because
I
am
to
speake
to
you
of
the
Tribe
of
Zebulun
,
who
are
here
met
together
to
offer
up
your
anniversary
sacrifice
of
praise
and
thanksgiving
,
I
will
single
out
the
last
instance
,
and
God
make
these
Sermons
as
profitable
to
you
,
as
they
are
fit
for
you
.
The
whole
frame
,
and
building
stands
upon
foure
pillers
.
-
1.
The
Mariners
Profession
.
-
2.
The
danger
of
that
profession
.
-
3.
The
deliverance
from
that
danger
.
-
4.
The
duty
after
that
deliverance
.
The
Mariners
Profession
is
to
goe
downe
to
the
Sea
in
Ships
,
and
to
doe
businesse
in
great
waters
.
Wherein
we
will
consider
these
two
things
:
First
,
that
Mariners
,
and
all
other
men
have
a
worke
,
and
a
businesse
to
doe
.
Secondly
,
that
Mariners
have
a
worke
of
their
owne
in
Ships
,
and
in
the
deepe
waters
,
and
what
that
is
.
First
,
here
is
a
worke
and
businesse
to
be
done
.
The
Angels
of
what
order
soever
have
a
businesse
assigned
them
,
for
they
are
all
ministring
spirits
,
and
are
sent
abroad
for
the
good
of
those
that
shall
be
heires
of
salvation
.
And
the
Scripture
describes
them
with
winges
,
because
they
doe
their
worke
,
which
is
the
will
of
God
,
with
all
readinesse
and
alacrity
.
And
therefore
wee
desire
in
the
Lords
prayer
,
that
his
will
may
bee
done
in
earth
,
as
it
is
in
Heaven
.
Man
in
Paradise
must
not
be
idle
,
God
imployes
him
,
and
sets
him
a
worke
,
which
was
to
dresse
the
garden
.
And
we
that
are
the
Sons
and
Daughters
of
Adam
,
must
not
eate
a
morsell
of
bread
,
till
we
have
earnd
it
with
the
sweat
either
of
our
Browes
,
or
of
our
Braines
.
He
that
will
not
worke
let
him
not
eate
sayes
the
Apostle
:
which
Law
if
it
was
put
in
execution
,
I
thinke
there
would
more
die
in
a
week
of
idlenesse
,
then
does
in
a
whole
yeare
of
all
other
diseases
.
It
is
an
old
and
true
saying
,
And
Salomon
sayes
that
the
field
,
i.e.
the
soule
of
the
sluggard
is
all
growne
over
with
thornes
,
and
the
face
thereof
covered
with
nettles

David
tarries
at
home
,
and
takes
a
nap
upon
his
bed
in
the
day
time
,
and
then
suns
himselfe
upon
the
battlements
of
the
house
,
when
he
should
have
beene
in
the
field
fighting
the
Lords
battels
,
and
then

hee
)

doing

,
that
the
devill
may
not
find
thee
idle
,
for
he
cannot
easily
prevaile
against
him
who
is
well
occupied
.
So
then
,
as
in
Iacobs
ladder
some
Angels
ascended
,
and
some
descended
,
but
none
stood
still
;
let
us
be
either
ascending
in
the
duties
of
our
generall
callings
,
hearing
,
reading
,
praying
,
meditating
:
or
descending
in
the
duties
of
our
particular
callings
,
in
a
competent
provision
of
such
things
as
concerne
our
families
,
and
the
outward
man
;
but
let
us
not
stand
still
;
Christ
cannot
indure
that
,
as
appeares
by
his
reprehension
of
those
he
found
in
the
market
place
,
why
stand
you
here
idle
all
the
day
?
In
a
word
.
God
will
have
no
cyphers
in
his
Arithmetique
,
no
truants
in
his
Schoole
,
no
blankes
in
his
Almanacke
,
no
barren
trees
in
his
Orchard
,
no
loyterers
in
his
Vineyard
,
my
Text
charges
every
man
with
a
worke
,
and
businesse
.
But
now
the
Apostle
tels
us
that
there
are
diversities
,
and
distinctions
of
operations
,
I
confesse
that
in
this
businesse
of
the
great
waters
,
is
comprehended
whatsoever
belongs
to
the
art
of
Navigation
,
as
the
hoysting
of
sailes
,
the
casting
and
weighing
of
Anchor
,
&c.
But
yet
the
businesse
of
the
Seaman
may
bee
reduced
to
these
two
heads
,
Fishing
and
Merchandise
.
As

And
in
the
new
Testament
we
finde
it
much
honoured
by
our
Saviour
,
who
chose
but
twelve
Apostles
out
of
the
whole
world
,
and
foure
of
those
twelve
were
of
this
profession
.
Simon
Peter
and
Andrew
his
brother
,
and
the
two
sons
of
Zebedee
Iames
and
Iohn
.
And
the
reason
it
may
be
why
he
made
so
many
fishermen
Apostles
,
is
the
proportion
and
resemblance
that
is
betwixt
these
two
callings

The
one
are
Fishermen
,
and
the
other
fishers
of
men
.
This
world
is
the
Sea
,
and
the
men
that
inhabite
it
are
fishes
,
for
the
greater
devoure
the
lesse
,
as
Ahab
swallowed
downe
the
Vineyard
of
Naboth
and
made
no
bones
of
it
.
The
Gospell
is
the
cast
net
,
for
as
Basil
observes
well
,
it
hath
both
corks
and
leads
annexed
to
it
.
The
corkes
are
the
comfortable
promises
of
mercy
that
we
despaire
not
:
and
the
leads
are
those
heavy
threatnings
,
and
comminations
of
judgement
that
we
presume
not
.
The
fishermen
which
cast
this
net
are
the
Ministers
of
the
Gospell
,
with
whom
it
fares
for
the
most
part
as
it
did
with
Peter
,
they
cast
out
the
net
all
the
day
long
and
catch
nothing

But
O
good
fish
(
sayes
S.
Ambrose
)
doe
not
feare
the
hooke
of
S.
Peter
,
for
it
will
not
kill
,
but
consecrate
thee
.
The
other
businesse
is
that
of
Merchandise
by
exportation
of
those
commodities
wherein
we
abound
,
and
importation
of
those
necessaries
,
and
conveniences
wherein
we
are
defective
.
It
hath
pleased
the
manifold
wisdome
of
God
to
inrich
severall
countries
with
severall
commodities
.
balme
,
Sheba
for
incense
and
sweet
spices
,
Ophir
for
gold
and
precious
stones
,
Tyre
for
Firre
trees
and
Cedars
.
Now
such
is
the
use
of
merchandize
,
and
benefit
of
navigation
,
First
it
is
a
lawfull
,
and
a
warrantable
businesse
,
and
it
is
no
small
matter
for
a
man
to
be
assured
that
hee
lives
in
a
warrantable
calling
.
Many
professions
there
are
start
up
,
which
are
but
of
yesterday
,
and
wee
may
well
suspect
that
the
pride
,
wantonnesse
,
luxury
,
and
curiositie
of
these
last
,
and
worst
times
invented
them
.
But
as
for
this
we
need
not
doubt
it
,
As
for
the
Church
the
time
was
when
it
was
folded
up
in
a
little
roome
,
God
was
knowne
no
where
but
in
Iury
,
he
had
no
Tabernacle
but
at
Salem
.
That
nation
like
Gideons
fleece
was
moistned
and
bedewed
with
the
Sermons
of
the
Prophets
,
with
the
Doctrine
and
Miracles
of
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
when
all
other
nations
were
dry
,
that
nation
like
the
inhabitants
of
Goshen
had
light
in
their
dwellings
,
when
the
Gentiles
lay
wrapt
,
and
muffled
up
in
more
then
Egyptian
darknesse
.
But
this
was
but
for
a
time
,
a
prophecy
there
was
that
God
would
enlarge
Iaphet
,
and
perswade
him
to
dwell
in
the
tents
of
Shem.
And
there
was
a
promise
too
,
that
in
the
last
dayes
the
Law
should
goe
forth
from
Zion
,
and
the
word
from
Ierusalem
,
that
it
might
runne
from
the
one
end
of
the
world
unto
the
other
,
so
that
no
Nation
should
bee
hid
from
the
heat
,
or
deprived
of
the
comfort
of
it
.
Now
then
,
howsoever
Christ
and
his
Gospell
might
be
conveyed
to
many
Nations
of
the
same
Continent
without
the
helpe
of
the
Sea
,
or
benefit
of
shipping
;
yet
we
that
inhabite
the
Islands
,
which
God
hath
moated
about
,
and
surrounded
with
a
girdle
of
waters
,
had
for
ever
sate
in
darknes
,
and
in
the
shadow
of
death
.
But
now
let
the
multitude
of
the
Isles
rejoyce
sayes
David
;
let
them
give
glory
unto
God
;
In
that
day
I
will
send
my
Messengers
unto
them
in
Ships
.
Who
the
messenger
was
that
was
first
imployed
and
bound
for
this
Island
with
that
rich
and
invaluable
lading
of
the
Gospell
is
uncertaine
.
Some
say
it
was
the
Apostle
S.
Paul
,
that
great
Doctour
of
the
Gentiles
.
l.

Others
say
it
was
Simon
Zelotes
,
who
was
crucified
and
buried
here
.
But
most
are
of
opinion
it
was
that
honourable
Senatour

of

,

who
with

others
was
sent
over
by
S.
Philip
out
of
France
into
Britaine
,
who
dyed
here
and
was
buried
at
Glastonbury
.
Whosoever
it
was
wee
are
much
bound
to
Almighty
God
,
that
notwithstanding
the
distance
of
the
place
,
and
danger
of
the
Sea
,
he
arrived
safely
with
the
Gospell
,
and
with
that
Christ
on
whom
we
beleeve
,
in
whom
wee
trust
,
to
whom
we
pray
,
and
by
whom
we
looke
to
be
everlastingly
saved

Medea
.
and
indigence
of
our
country
is
supplyed
with
the
wealth
and
abundance
of
another
.
For
God
hath
disposed
the
parts
of
the
world
,
as
the
members
of
the
body
,
and
hath
so
tyed
them
together
in
mutuall
and
reciprocall
offices
,
that
no
part
of
the
whole
universe
can
say
to
another
,
I
have
no
need
of
thee
.
As
for
this
countrey
wherein
we
live
,
I
may
say
of
it
as
the
Scripture
doth
of
the
plaine
of
Iordan
,
behold
it
is
even
as
the
garden
of
God
,
it
may
as
well
stand
upon
its
bottome
,
and
boast
an
Autarchie
,
and
selfe
sufficiencie
,
as
any
place
whatsoever
,
and
yet
we
are
beholding
to
others
for
their
Mineralls
,
Spices
,
and
that
which
is
most
necessary
,
their
Drugges
.
Secondly
,
the
businesse
of
the
merchant
is
an
honourable
businesse
and
imployment
,
Christendome
,
Venice
,
Genoa
,
and
the
Low-countries
,
who
by
their
strength
in
shipping
,
&
industrie
in
Navigation
,
are
arrived
at
such
a
degree
of
honour
,
and
eminency
that
many
envy
it
,
and
all
admire
it
.
The
time
was
when
this
was
the
peculiar
honour
,
and
glorious
prerogative
of
this
nation
as
Keckerman
confesses
,
It
is
certaine
that
the
Englishmen
are
the
best
sea-men
,
no
nation
in
the
world
can
compare
with
them
either
for
art
or
industrie
,
and
next
to
them
are
the
Hollanders
.
But
I
feare
I
may
say
as
the
daughter
of
Eli
did
when
the
Arke
was
taken
,
where
is
the
glory
?
or
the
glory
is
departed
from
our
Israel
,
or
if
not
departed
,
yet
much
eclypsed
.
Such
is
our
sloth
and
negligence
,
such
our
tendernesse
and
delicacie
that
wee
cannot
brooke
the
dangers
of
the
Sea
,
nor
the
confinement
of
a
Cabbin
.
Thirdly
,
the
businesse
of
the
merchant
is
a
gainefull
businesse
.
And
hence
is
it
that
Salomon
compares
his
good
huswife
to
a
Merchants
Ship
,
For
the
Kings
ships
went
to
Tarshish
with
the
servants
of
Huram
;
every
three
yeares
once
came
the
ships
of
Tarshish
bringing
gold
and
silver
,
yvorie
,
and
apes
,
and
peacocks
,
so
that
King
Salomon
passed
all
the
Kings
of
the
earth
in
riches
,
and
wisdome
.
It
is
said
of
Tyre
that
by
her
traffique
shee
had
increased
her
riches
,
and
through
the
multitude
of
her
merchandise
lived
in
such
plenty
and
abundance
as
if
shee
lived
in
Eden
the
garden
of
God
,
being
covered
with
gold
and
precious
stones
.
I
make
no
question
but
some
of
you
which
heare
mee
this
day
,
will
confesse
with
Iacob
,
that
when
you
first
passed
over
Iordan
,
when
you
went
first
to
Sea
your
portion
was
not
great
,
yet
now
behold
God
hath
inriched
you
with
the
blessings
of
the
deepe
,
and
the
treasures
hid
in
the
sands
;
take
heed
therefore
that
your
hearts
be
not
lifted
up
,
doe
not
sacrifice
to
your
nets
,
and
ships
,
as
though
by
them
your
portion
was
plenteous
,
and
your
morsels
fat
,
doe
not
kisse
your
owne
hands
,
say
not
it
is
your
owne
wisdome
,
or
understanding
,
your
owne
art
or
industry
that
hath
gotten
you
this
wealth
,
but
confesse
that
it
is
the
Lord
your
God
that
hath
given
you
power
to
gather
riches
,
and
that
it
is
his
blessing
that
maketh
rich
.
And
then
there
wants
but
one
thing
to
make
up
all
,
and
that
is
when
God
prospers
you
with
rich
voyages
,
and
safe
returnes
,
you
have
a
care
to
pay
him
his
Custome
,
(
I
exclude
not
the
Kings
)
.
for
if
you
steale
that
you
may
forfeit
all
.
And
Gods
Custome
is
your
charity
to
his
poore
members
,
for
whatsoever
you
doe
to
one
of
them
,
he
takes
it
as
done
to
himselfe
.
As
you
get
your
wealth
by
the
waters
,
so
cast
your
bread
upon
the
waters
,
upon
the
weeping
cheekes
of
comfortlesse
widdowes
,
of
fatherlesse
children
,
and
their
prayers
will
bee
the
best
gale
to
waft
your
soules
through
the
waves
of
this
troublesome
world
unto
your
desired
haven
the
Kingdome
of
Heaven
.
Whither
he
bring
us
all
that
hath
so
dearely
purchased
it
for
us
,
Iesus
Christ
the
righteóus
:
To
whom
with
the
Father
,
and
the
Holy
Ghost
,
bee
all
Honour
and
praise
,
might
and
Majesty
now
,
and
for
ever
:
Amen

These
see
the
workes
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
wonders
in
the
Deepe
.
YOu
have
seene
before
that
the
businesse
of
the
Seaman
is
warrantable
,
honourable
,
and
profitable
,
and
yet
there
is
another
adjunct
waites
upon
it
,
and
that
is
,
that
it
is
a
pleasant
and
delightfull
businesse
,
for
they
see
those
works
and
wonders
of
the
Lord
in
the
deep
,
which
they
could
not
see
upon
dry
land
.
If
you
put
the
same
question
to
mariners
that
our
Saviour
did
to
the
multitude
,
What
went
you
out
for
to
see
?
The
text
answers
for
them
,
that
they
see
the
workes
of
the
Lord
,
and
not
his
ordinary
and
every
dayes
workes
,
as
reeds
shaken
with
the
winde
,
or
men
clothed
in
soft
raiment
;
(
for
this
is
too
common
to
be
a
wonder
,
)
but
they
see
things
that
are
indeed
strange
,
rare
,
admirable
,
and
wonderfull
.
In
which
verse
there
are
two
things
to
be
considered
.
First
,
the
object
,
or
things
that
may
be
seene
,
and
they
are
of
two
sorts
,
the
works
,
and
the
wonders
of
the
Lord
.
Secondly
,
the
subject
,
or
place
where
they
may
be
seen
,
and
that
is
the
deep
waters
.
But
I
had
rather
resolve
the
text
into
these
three
conclusions
.
First
,
God
is
a
working
God
,
for
here
are
the
workes
of
the
Lord
.
Secondly
,
among
the
workes
of
God
some
are
more
wonderfull
and
admirable
then
others
,
for
here
are
the
wonders
of
the
Lord
.
Thirdly
,
the
Sea
is
a
place
wherein
wee
may
see
both
his
workes
and
wonders
.
For
the
first
,
some
have
beene
so
transcendently
presumptuous
as
to
enquire
how
God
imployed
himselfe
in
that
vast
space
of
eternitie
,
and
what
he
did
before
hee
created
the
world
,
which
is
not
yet
of
sixe
thousand
yeares
standing
.

To
them
I
say
as
the
Angell
did
to
Manoah
,
Aske
not
after
it
for
it
is
secret
.
Or
as
David
:
Such
knowledge
is
too
wonderfull
for
thee
:
or
as
he
in
S.
Augustine
,
God
was
making
hell
to
torment
such
as
will
pry
into
the
Arke
of
his
mysterious
and
reserved
secrets
.
The
first
worke
of
God
ad
extra
was
the
Creation
,
which
consists
of
many
faire
,
and
noble
pieces
.
Some
were
of
opinion
that
God
created
the
Angels
,
and
then
the
Angels
as
his
instruments
created
inferiour
natures
.
Another
errour
there
was
,
and
that
amongst
the
Jewes
;
Aug.
in
c.
5.
Joann
.
Iohn
7.15
.
that
God
after
hee
had
finished
the
worke
of
the
Creation
sate
downe
,
and
ever
since
hath
kept
a
Sabbath
,
and
made
it
holy
day
.
But
our
Saviour
confutes
this
,
for
sayes
he
,
My
Father
worketh
hitherto
,
governing
and
conserving
what
he
hath
made
that
they
slide
not
back
againe
into
their
first
nothing
.
Carth.
in
5.
Ioann
.
and
to
justifie
a
sinner
is
a
greater
worke
then
to
create
one
just
,
there
is
no
day
wherein
hee
does
not
glorifie
some
Saints
who
lived
in
his
feare
and
dyed
in
his
favour
.
Nay
,
let
me
tell
you
that
those
workes
which
we
call
our
owne
,
are
of
his
working
,
witnesse
the
Prophet
,
Thou
hast
wrought
all
our
workes
in
us
:
It
is
God
that
worketh
in
us
both
to
will
and
to
doe
of
his
good
pleasure
.
Witnesse
our
Saviour
,
Without
me
yee
can
doe
nothing
.
Not
I
but
the
grace
of
God
that
was
in
me
.
Now
as
man
is
the
image
of
his
Maker
so
he
should
affect
conformity
and
resemblance
to
his
patterne
,
and
be
a
worker
together
with
God
.
The
maine
worke
of
a
Christian
is
the
worke
of
Salvation
;
Worke
out
your
salvation
with
feare
and
trembling
,
saith
the
Apostle
.
A
worke
which
if
we
dispatch
not
before
we
die
,
we
are
undone
for
ever
.
And
therefore
our
Saviour
quickens
us
,
But
besides
this
we
have
a
worke
to
doe
,
and
that
is
the
worke
of
our
particular
callings
.
S.
Paul
would
have
every
man
eate
his
owne
bread
,
and
his
owne
it
is
not
till
his
head
,
or
his
hand
hath
wrought
for
it
.
Salomon
hath
appointed
a
time
to
every
businesse
,
but
he
allowes
no
time
for
idlenesse
,
Ierome
,
that
hee
allowed
but
little
time
to
sleepe
,
lesse
to
meat
,
but
none
to
sloth
.
But
of
this
we
have
heard
more
in
the
former
Sermon
.
The
second
part
of
the
Text
,
is
,
that
amongst
the
workes
of
God
some
are
more
wonderfull
and
admirable
then
others
,
for
here
are
wonders
as
well
as
workes
.
I
confesse
with
the
Prophet
that
God
is
a
wonderfull
and
excellent
workeman
:
Nothing
but
nothing
had
the
Lord
Almighty
Whereof
,
Againe
,
all
the
workes
of
the
Lord
are
wonderfull
if
wee
consider
the
manner
of
their
making
.
If
you
aske
what
tooles
,
what
leavers
,
Ambr.
in

what
engines
,
what
instruments
,
what
labourers
God
used
in
so
great
a
worke
,
Moses
tells
you
he
did
but
say
let
it
be
so
,
and
it
was
so
;
and
David
sayes
He
spake
the
word
and
they
were
made
,
he
commanded
and
they
were
created
.
So
that
the
creation
of
the
world
,
was
like
the
building
of
the
Temple
,
there
was
no
noyse
of
any
toole
,
or
hammer
heard
in
it
;
but
like
Ionas
his
gourd
though
it
was
not
planted
,
nor
watered
grew
up
on
a
sodaine
,
even
in
the
short
space
of
sixe
dayes
,
and
this
is
another
wonder
.

The
Temple
of
Ierusalem
was
a
stately
and
magnificent
building
,
yet
it
was
not
built
in
lesse
time
then
forty
and
sixe
yeares
,
notwithstanding
many
hands
went
to
it
;
but
the
whole
fabricke
of
heaven
and
earth
was
finished
in
the
space
of
sixe
dayes
:
and
hee
that
made
it
in
so
few
dayes
,
could
(
if
he
had
pleased
)
have
made
it
in
as
few
minutes
.
Thus
then
are
al
the
workes
of
the
Lord
wonderfull
;
yet
as
the
Apostle
sayes
of
the
starres
,
One
starre
is
more
glorious
then
another
:
so
say
I
of
Gods
workes
,
some
are
more
admirable
and
wonderfull
then
others
,
as
being
either
lesse
common
,
or
more
curious
.
First
,
that
which
makes
some
of
them
more
wonderfull
then
others
is
,
because
they
are
lesse
frequent
and
common
.
The
people
marvelled
at
the
multiplication
of
the
loaves
,
and
fishes
,
and
were
so
affected
with
the
strangenesse
of
the
miracle
,
that
they
would
have
made
Christ
a
King
for
it
:
Aug.
in
epist.
ad
Volusian
.
Psal.
19.
yet
we
wonder
not
at
the
increase
of
harvest
,
and
multiplication
of
the
seed
though
in
some
grounds
it
brings
forth
twenty
,
in
some
thirty
,
and
in
some
an
hundred
fold
.
We
wonder
not
at
the
Sunne
though
it
be
the
beauty
and
bridegroome
of
nature
as
David
calls
it
:
yet
wee
wonder
at
the
faint
light
of
a
Comet
because
the
one
we
see
every
day
,
and
the
other
but
seldome
.
Secondly
,
some
are
more
wonderfull
,
and
admirable
because
more
curious
and
exquisite
.
In
some
creatures
wee
have
onely
vestigium
,
the
print
of
his
foot
:
but
in
others
imaginem
,
his
image
.
Some
are
the
workes
of
his
fingers
,
some
of
his
hand
,
some
of
his
arme
,
and
the
more
power
or
wisdome
God
hath
expressed
in
their
forming
,
the
more
wonderfull
are
they
in
our
eyes
.

this

I
will
determine
you
to
the
consideration

your selves
first
.
S.
Augustine
taxes
such
of
folly
that
admired
the
height
of
mountaines
,
the
waves
of
the
Sea
,
the
windings
of
rivers
,
&c.
yet
never
wondered
at
themselves
,
who
are
Gods
Master-piece
,
and
the
abridgement
and
Epitome
of
the
whole
creation
,
for
man
hath
being
with
stones
,
life
with
trees
,
sense
with
beasts
,
and
understanding
with
Angels
;
and
hence
is
it
that
he
is
called
every
creature
.
In
the
making
of
other
things
God
did
but
say
let
this
or
that
be
so
,
and
so
,
and
it
was
so
;
but
when
he
came
to
make
man
,
all
the
persons
in
the
Trinity
consult
and
advise
about
it
,
Let
us
make
man
after
our
likenesse
.

,
Moone
,
and

are

Thy

have

,
and

I
need
say
no
more
but
what
the
Psalmist
does
,
I
will
praise
thee
for
I
am
fearefully
and
wonderfully
made
,
marvellous
are
thy
workes
,
and
that
my

which
though
it
bee
but
a
small
member
,
yet
in
an
instant
runs

side
of

to
the
other
.
And
thus
having
a

you
to
your selves
,
let
me
lead
you
abroad
into
the
world
and
see
what
wonders
we
can
there
meet
with
.
If
we
climbe
up
into

,
we
shall
finde
it
as
full
of
wonders
as
it
is
of
starres
,
for
euery
star
is
a
wonder
;
being
as
Astronomers
observe
(
if
truly
)
of
a
greater
magnitude
then
the
body
of
the
whole
earth
.
If
we
descend

,
who
is
able
to
satisfie
these
questions
?
Hast
thou

Hath

,
and
imitate
them
if
thou
canst

And
thus
we
see
the
point
cleared
.
Now
our
duty
is
when
we
see
these
wonders
to
breake
out
in
an
acknowledgement
of
God
,
of
his
excellencies
,
and
glorious
Attributes
which
are
displayed
in
these
creatures
.
O
the
depth
of
the
riches
both
of
the
wisdome
,
&
knowledge
of
God!
O
Lord
our
Lord
how
excellent
is
thy
name
in
all
the
earth
!
Among
the
gods
there
is
none
like
unto
thee
O
Lord
,
neither
are
there
any
workes
like
thy
workes
:
for
thou
art
great
and
dost
wondrous
things
,
thou
art
God
alone
.
O
that
men
would
therefore
praise
the
Lord
for
his
goodnesse
,
and
declare
his
wonders
to
the
sonnes
of
men
.
Little
children
,
and
ignorant
persons
when
they
see
a
curious
picture
,
gaze
upon
it
,
and
please
themselves
in
the
beauty
of
the
colours
,
but
they
consider
not
the
art
,
and
skill
of
that
hand
which
limmed
it
:
so
we
see
the
wonders
of
God
with
our
eyes
,
we
heare
of
them
with
our
eares
,
wee
taste
them
with
our
mouthes
,
wee
feele
them
with
our
hands
,
yet
our
hearts
are
not
affected
with
them
as
they
should
be
;
neither
doe
we
consider
those
glorious
Attributes
of
power
,
wisdome
,
goodnesse
,
and
mercy
laid
open
in
them
.
If
we
did
,
the
consideration
of
his
power
would
make
us
feare
him
;
the
meditation
of
his
goodnesse
would
make
us
love
him
;
the
contemplation
of
his
wisdome
would
make
us
praise
him
,
according
to
that
of
the
Psalmist
,
Declare
his
glory
among
the
heathen
,
&
his
wonders
among
all
the
people
,
for
the
Lord
is
great
.
&
greatly
to
be
praised
,
he
is
to
be
feared
above
al
gods
.
Secondly
,
if
the
Lord
hath
made
such
wonderfull
and
admirable
things
for
us
in
this
world
which
is
but
our
cottage
,
how
excellent
and
admirable
are
those
things
which
hee
hath
provided
,
and
prepared
for
us
in
heaven
which
is
our
palace
.
If
I
was
the
sweetest
singer
in
all
Israel
,
if
I
had
the
tongues
of
men
,
and
Angels
;
I
should
not
be
able
to
expresse
the
least
part
of
them
.
S.
Paul
spoke
with
tongues
more
then
all
the
rest
of
the
Apostles
,
and
the
Barbarians
called
him
Mercury
the
god
of
eloquence
;
yet
these
things
are
so
admirable
and
transcendent
,
that
the
strength
of
his
expressions
,
and
the
straines
of
his
eloquence
could
not
reach
them
.
And
therefore
he
telleth
us
not
what
they
are
,
but
what
they
are
not
.
Eye
hath
not
seene
,
nor
eare
heard
,
neither
hath
it
entred
into
the
heart
of
man
to
conceive
the
things
which
God
hath
prepared
for
them
that
love
him
.
The
eye
of
man
sees
much
,
yet
the
eare
heares
of
many
things
which
the
eye
never
saw
.
I
never
faw
Salomons
Temple
in
its
beautie
,
nor
Rome
in
her
glory
,
nor
Christ
in
the
flesh
,
yet
my
eare
hath
heard
much
of
them
.
But
if
there
be
any
thing
which
my
eare
hath
not
heard
,
yet
my
heart
is
able
to
conceive
it
.
I
never
heard
the
thunders
that
were
upon
mount
Sinai
;
I
never
heard
Paul
in
the
pulpit
,
yet
I
conceive
how
terrible
was
the
one
,
and
how
powerfull
was
the
other
.
But
these
things
are
so
high
,
and
admirable
,
that
I
can
neither
perceive
them
by
the
sense
,
nor
conceive
them
by
the
understanding
.
When
the
Queene
of
Sheba
came
to
the
Court
of
Salomon
she
was
ravished
with
the
wonders
she
saw
there
:
when
we
come
to
heaven
the
Court
of
him
that
was
greater
then
Salomon
,
how
shall
we
be
ravished
to
heare
the
Hymnes
and
Hallelujahs
of
Angels
,
to
see
the
face
of
God
,
the
body
of
Christ
our
Saviour
,
the
beauty
of
the
new
Ierusalem
,
and
our
vile
bodies
made
like
his
glorious
body
?
But
who
is
fit
for
these
things
?
I
leave
therefore
these
wonders
which
God
hath
provided
for
us
in
Coelo
in
heaven
,
and
come
to
those
which
are
in
Salo
in
the
Sea
,
for
this
is
our
third
and
last
part
,
That
the
workes
and
wonders
of
the
Lord
may
be
seene
in
the
Sea
,
and
deep
waters
.
God
who
is
wonderfull
in
all
his
workes
,
First
the
situation
of
this
Element
is
wonderfull
.
I
will
not
here
dispute
the
question
whether
the
Water
or
the
Earth
be
higher
;
sure
I
am
that
the
elevations
,
and
swellings
of
the
Sea
are
wonderfull
;
and
were
it
not
that
the
Lord
on
high
is
mightier
then
the
noise
of
many
waters
,
it
would
breake
out
(
as
once
it
did
)
into
an
universall
Deluge
,
and
Inundation
.
God
hath
shut
up
the
Sea
with
doores
,
he
hath
swadled
it
with
darkness
,
he
hath
set
it
bounds
,
saying
,
Hitherto
shalt
thou
come
,
but
no
further
;
and
here
shall
thy
proud
waves
be
stayed
.
I
reade
of
one
Canutus
sometimes
a
king
of
this
Island
,
that
standing
by
the
Thames
at
a
flowing
water
,
commanded
the
waves
to
come
no
nearer
:
But
the
River
for
all
this
kept
its
course
,
and
if
the
King
had
not
given
ground
,
would
have
drowned
him
:
with
which
(
saies
the
story
)
hee
was
so
much
affected
,
that
he
hanged
up
his
Crowne
in
Westminster
,
and
would
never
after
weare
it
.
To
command
the
Elements
is
his
prerogative
that
made
them
.
Feare
you
not
me
,
saith
the
Lord
?
Will
yee
not
tremble
at
my
presence
?
which
hath
placed
the
Sand
for
the
bound
of
the
Sea
,
by
a
perpetuall
decree
that
it
cannot
passe
it
,
and
though
the
waves
thereof
tosse
themselves
,

.
yet
they
cannot
prevaile
;
though
they
roare
,
they
cannot
passe
over
it
.
And
Hesychius
saies
that
the
Sea
is
as
afraid
of
the
banke
of
sand
,
as
we
are
of
thunder
.
Secondly
,
the
Motion
of
the
Sea
is
as
strange
and
wonderfulles
the
former
.
It
is
reported
of
Aristotle
that
great
Secretary
of
Nature
,
that
not
being
able
to
conceive
the
reason
of
the
ebbing
and
flowing
of
the
Sea
,
he
threw
himselfe
into
it
,
using
these
words
,
Because
I
cannot
comprehend
thee
,
thou
shalt
comprehend
mee
.
And
howsoever
this
hath
received
many
subtile
and
curious
discussions
,
yet
all
confesse
it
a
wonder
,
and
secret
of
Nature
.
For
suppose
it
be
the
naturall
inclination
of
this
Element
,
which
at
the
first
covered
the
face
of
the
Earth
,
and
does
as
it
were
labour
to
recover
its
ancient
Inheritance
;
Or
suppose
the
Moone
to
be
the
cause
of
it
,
as
most
determine
,
(
for
this
Planet
hath
a
regencie
,
and
dominion
over
moist
bodies
)
yet
it
is
a
wonder
still
.
It
is
as
admirable
that
the
Influence
of
the
Moone
should
cause
such
an
elevation
,
and
agitation
of
the
waters
,
as
if
God
had
imprinted
this
qualitie
in
the
Element
it selfe
.
For
my
part
,
I
shall
ever
say
with
the
Psalmist
,
Thy
way
is
in
the
Sea
,
and
thy
path
in
the
great
waters
,
and
thy
footsteps
are
not
knowne
.
Thirdly
,
the
Multitude
and
Variety
of
creatures
that
live
,
O
Lord
,
how
manifold
are
thy
works
!
in
wisedome
hast
thou
made
them
all
:
the
earth
is
full
of
thy
riches
:
So
is
the
great
,
and
wide
Sea
,
wherein
are
things
creeping
innumerable
,
both
small
,
and
great
beasts
.

To

up

then
,
when

we
must
not

the
advancement

,
but
wee
must
make
a

we

see

consider
,
and
meditate
upon
these
wonders
,
&
those
Attributes
which
are
infolded
in
them
,
that
so
they
may
strike
us
with
an
awfull
reverence
,
and
imprint
upon
us
a
religious
respect
to
the
Divine
power

of
devotion
,
and

,
for
there
is
nothing
in
it
but
doth
administer
to
a
spirituall
minde
matter
of
pious
and
heavenly
meditation
.
For
example
,
the
ship
wherein
you
saile
,
is
a
remembrancer
of
the
swiftnesse
and
shortnesse
of
your
dayes
,
My
dayes
(
saith
Iob
)
are
swifter
then
a
Post
,
they
are
passed
away
as
the
swift
ships
.
And
as
in
a
ship
whatsoever
a
man
is
doing
he
still
sailes
on
to
the
end
of
his
voyage
:
so
whether
we
eate
,
or
drinke
,
or
sleepe
,
or
sinne
,
or
whatsoever
wee
doe
wee
hasten
to
the
grave
,
which
is
the
end
of
all

.
As
for

embleme
of

world
,
for
the

and
the

as

we
have
our

,
and
our
stormes
of

;

that

Lords
doing

For
he
commandeth
.
For
the
first
,
God
is
an
universall
Bishop
,
all
the
places
,
and
parishes
in
the
world
,
are
within
his
Diocesse
and
Iurisdiction
.
His
title
is
,
Lord
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
so
that
all
creatures
from
an
Angel
to
an
Ant
,
from
a
starre
in
the
Firmament
,
to
a
stone
in
the
Pavement
,
are
within
his
Territories
and
Dominions
.
All
are
thy
servants
saith
the
Psalmist
:
invisible
,
rationall
and
irrationall
,
animate
and
inanimate
,
and
in
a
word
,
the
Kingdome
of
all

nature
is
concluded
in
it
.
Whatsoever
the
Lord
pleaseth
that
doth
he
in

all

And
fire

fulfill
his

And

unto

Here

are
.
The
creatures
beside
their
naturall
inclinations

obedientiall
power

Chrys.

whence
it
comes
to
passe
(
saith
Chrysostome
)
that
though
God
command
them
things
contrary
to
their
particular
natures
,
yet
they
obey
him
.
David
askes
the
question
;
What
ayled
thee
O
Sea
that
thou
fleddest
?
and
thou
Iordan
that
thou
wast
driven
backe
?
Had
the
Sea
,
or
the
River
a
tongue
to
speake
to
us
,
as
well
as
they
have
an
eare
when
God
speakes
to
them
,
they
would
tell
us
that
Vox
Domini
super
aquas
,
the
voice
of
the
Lord
was
upon
the
waters
,
and
so
soone
as
they
heard
they
were
afraid
.
Or
as
it
is
in
another
Psalme
,
The
waters
saw
thee
O
God
,
the
waters
saw
thee
:
they
were
afraid
,
the
depths
also
were
troubled
.
And
as
the
commandement
of
God
divided
the
waters
,
and
controuled
their
course
;
so
it
divides
the
very
flames
of
fire
.
Iohn
Baptist
was
a
shining
&
a
burning
light
;
yet
sometime
the
fire
burnes
and
does
not
shine
,
and
sometimes
it
shines
and
doth
not
burne
;
Basil
.
m.
in
Psal.
29.
and
so
the
Lord
divideth
the
flames
of
fire
.
The
fire
in
the
fornace
of
Babylon
shined
,
for
by
the
light
thereof
Nebuchadnezzar
saw
the
three
children
,
&
another
with
them
like
the
Sonne
of
God
;
but
as
S.
Chrysostome
sayes
it
did
not
urere
,
but
irrorare
,
it
did
not
burn
them
,
but
bedew
them
.
The
fire
in
hell
burnes
,
for
it
is
a
place
of
extreame
heat
,
and
a
drop
of
water
would
be
purchased
at
any
rate
;
yet
it
shines
not
for
it
is
a
place
of
utter
darknesse
.
Must
we
not
here
needs
breake
out
into
those
words
of
wonderment
and
admiration
;
Quis
est
iste
?
Who
is
this
,
whom
even
the
winde
,
and
the
Seas
obey
?
Surely
such
an
one
,
besides
whom
there
is
not
such
another
.
Where
is
the
Monarch
that
dare
set
down
his
foot
upon
the
shore
,
and
in
the
word
of
a
King
command
the
Sea
to
flow
thus
farre
,
and
no
further
?
Xerxes
could
not
preserve
his
bridge
from
the
fury
of
the
Hellespont
,
for
which
cause
hee
commanded
it
should
have
three
hundred
stripes
.
Where
is
the
man
that
in
the
time
of
drought
,
can
lift
up
his
voice
unto
the
clouds
,
and
wring
one
drop
of
raine
out
of
their
bottels
?
And
shall
we
not
now
feare
him
that
is
the
Lord
of
Hosts
,
and
hath
the
command
of
all
the
creatures
?
He
can
command
the
fire
and
it
shall
consume
us
as
it
did
Sodome
,
and
her
Cities
.
Hee
can
command
the
ayre
and
it
shall
spit
upon
our
heads
blastings
,
mildewes
,
pestilent
defluxions
,
and
destroy
us
with
thunder
,
lightening
,
or
hailstones
as
it
did
the
Amorites
.
Hee
can
command
the
earth
and
it
shall
open
her
mouth
,
and
swallow
us
up
quicke
as
it
did
Corah
and
his
company
.
He
can
command
the
water
to
overflow
us
as
it
did
the
old
world
.
Let
us
therefore
sanctifie
the
Lord
of
Hosts
,
Let
him
be
our
feare
,
and
let
him
be
our
dread
.
And
shall
we
not
also
in
all
our
necessities
depend
upon
his
providence
?
God
can
command
the
cloudes
and
they
shall
raine
Quailes
and
Manna
as
they
did
upon
the
Israelites
.
God
can
command
the
rocke
and
it
shall
give
thee
water
.
God
can
command
the
Ravens
and
they
shall
feed
thee
.
God
can
command
a
stone
and
it
shall
become
Bread
.
Art
thou
cast
upon
the
bed
of
sicknesse
?
God
can
command
a
lumpe
of
figges
to
recover
thee
,
nay
he
can
rebuke
thy
disease
,
and
it
shall
immediately
leave
thee
.
Art
thou
at
Sea
and
in
danger
of
drowning
?
God
can
rebuke
the
windes
,
and
waves
.
And
if
he
suffer
thee
to
shipwrack
,
he
can
prepare
a
fish
to
swallow
thee
,
or
a
planke
of
the
ship
to
convey
thee
to
shore
,
as
it
fared
with
Paul
and
his
company
.
And
does
not
the
obedience
of
the
senselesse
,
and
inanimate
creatures
upbraid
our
disobedience

It

that

should
obey
God
,
and

not
obey
him
,
saith

And
as
it
is

so
no

neither

One
speaking
of
the
windes
and
waves
when
Christ
rebuked
them
and
allayed
the
Tempest
,
sayes
that
it
is
to
bee
lamented
with
teares

blood
,
that
all
creatures
should
be
obedient
,
and
man
only

who

,
Let
us
breake
his

,
and

from

God
promises
his

in
the
Prophet
that
he
would
take

from

give

When
God
delivered
the
Law
upon
mount
Sinai
,
the
mountaine
burned
with
fire
,
and
the
ayre
was
troubled
with
such
clashing
and
collision
of
the
clouds
,
and
with
such
thunders
and
lightenings
,
that
the
feare
of
God
fell
upon
the
people
,
and
they
promise
religiously
to
observe
his
statutes
,
and
to
keepe
his
commandements
.
When
God
passed
by
his
Prophet
Elijah
,
a
great
and
a
strong
winde
went
before
him
,
rending
the
mountaines
,
and
breaking
the
rocks
in
pieces
,
and
Elijah
was
so
affected
with
the
apprehension
of
Gods
Majestie
that
hee
wrapped
his
face
in
his
mantle
.
When
God
talked
with
his
servant
Iob
it
was
è
turbine
,
out
of
the
whirlewinde
,
I
know
thou
canst
doe
every
thing
.
And
indeed
what
cannot
hee
doe
that
maketh
a
thin
exhalation
which
is
of
so
subtile
a
substance
that
no
eye
can
discerne
it
,
to
bee
so
vehement
and
impetuous
,
that
many
times
it
overthrowes
houses
,
and
turnes
up
the
Cedars
of
Libanus
by
the
roots
?
That
tempest
in
the
prophecy
of
Ionas
produced
the
same
effect
in
the
Mariners
,
for
they
were
afraid
,
and
cryed
every
man
upon
his
God
,
and
were
justly
angry
with
the
Prophet
who
was
upon
his
pillow
,
when
hee
should
have
beene
at
his
prayers
.
And
I
make
no
question
but
many
of
you
here
present
will
confesse
ingenuously
,
that
the
roaring
windes
,
and
the
raging
Seas
have
made
such
deepe
impressions
of
feare
and
terrour
in
you
,
that
you
are
much
the
better
for
it
,
more
humble
,
more
devout
,
and
your
soules
faster
tied
to
God
by
vows
,
and
promises
of
new
obedience

remember
that

we

christned

a
fitter
name
for
it

For
the
windes
and
waves
conspired
so
happily
together
for
our
safety
and
their
destruction
,
that
one
of
their
owne
(
and
upon
him
bee
the
boldnesse
of
the
phrase
)
confesses
God
in
that
businesse
declared
himselfe
to
be
a
Lutheran
.
How
fitly
may
that
of
the
Psalmist
be
applyed
to
our
purpose
.
They
took
crafty
counsel
together
,
&
consulted
against
thy
people
;
come
said
they
let
us
cut
them
off
from
being
a
nation
,
that
the
name
of
England
may
be
no
more
in
remembrance
;
yea
let
us
take
to
our selves
the
houses
of
God
in
possession
.
But
thou
O
God
diddest
persecute
them
with
thy
tempest
,
and
madest
them
afraid
with
thy
storme
;
thou
filledst
their
faces
with
shame
,
so
that
they
were
confounded
,
and
troubled
for
ever
,
and
now
men
may
know
,
that
thou
whose
name
alone
is
Iehovah
,
art
the
most
high
over
all
the
earth
.
Thirdly
stormes
and

nor

Tribulation

Paul
and
his
company
when
they
first
loosed
from
the
Haven
had
as
faire
weather
as
could
blow
,
but
non
multò
post
sayes
the
text
,
not
long
after
,
there
arose
a
tempestuous
winde
which
tossed
them
so
exceedingly
that
all
hope
of
being
saved
was
taken
away
from
them
.
Iob
in
the
morning
was
the
richest
man
in
the
East
,
yet
non
multò
post
not
long
after
a
tempest
was
raised
,
and
the
messengers
come
in
like
the
waves
of
the
Sea
one
in
the
necke
of
another
,
and
of
all
his
sheepe
and
oxen
he
hath
not
so
much
as
a
Lambe
left
to
offer
for
a
sacrifice
.
If
the
ayre
was
not
sometimes
fanned
,
and
ventilated
with
tempests
,
it
would
corrupt
,
and
become
full
of
unwholesome
,
and
contagious
vapours
.
If
a
Christian
was
not
sometime
exercised
with
crosses
and
afflictions
,
and
duckt
over
head
and
eares
in
salt
water
;
pride
,
security
,
and
an
immoderate
love
of
the
world
would
grow
upon
him
.
Iron
though
it
be
never
so
bright
,
yet
if
it
be
not
used
will
rust
;
Ground
be
it
never
so
good
,
yet
if
it
be
not
tilled
and
plowed
will
bee
overgrowne
with
weedes
;
The
body
be
it
never
so
lusty
,
yet
if
it
want
exercise
will
be
obstructed
with
grosse
and
ill
humours
.
Let
a
Christian
be
never
so
well
weighed
,
and
the
frame
of
his
soule
never
so
well
moulded
,
yet
if
the
waves
and
billowes
of
afflictions
goe
not
sometimes
over
him
,
he
will
contract
soyle
and
corruption
.
See
how
the
soule
of
that
wise
King
Salomon
melted
,
and
thawed
into
a
wanton
effeminatenesse
,
and
declination
in
religion
:
and
a
wise
man
may
spell
something
out
of
those
words
,
He
had
no
adversary
,
nor
evill
occurrent
;
and
therefore
God
raises
up
a
storme
of
war
,
and
stirres
up
an
adversary
unto
Salomon
.
Againe
as
stormes
at
Sea
exercise
the
abilities
,
and
experience
of
a
Mariner
:
so
doe
crosses
the
graces
of
a
Christian
.
What
tryes
the
valour
of
a
souldier
?
The
battle
.
What
tryes
the
skill
of
a
Pilot
?
A
tempest
.
What
tryes
the
graces
of
a
Christian
?
Adversity
.
Iob
you
know
had
lost
all
but
his
wife
,
and
his
life
;
and
if
his
wise
was
no
better
then
the
Translation
makes
her
,
it
had
beene
no
matter
if
he
had
lost
her
too
;
now
see
how
he
stood
to
his
tacklings
,
and
how
bravely
he
rid
out
this
storme
,
The
Lord
(
sayes
hee
)
hath
given
,
and
the
Lord
hath
taken
away
,
blessed
be
the
name
of
the
Lord
.
Yea
though
the
Lord
kill
me
,
yet
will
I
trust
in
him
.
Lastly
,
a
storme
makes
the
weather-beaten
Mariner
desire
nothing
so
much
as
his
haven
,
therefore
is
it
in
this
Psalme
called
the
desired
haven
.
Tabor
,
It
is
good
for
us
to
be
here
,
and
so
love
our
way
instead
of
our
countrie
,
and
never
desire
to
make
that
Port
of
peace
,
and
Haven
of
all
happinesse
the
Kingdome
of
Heaven
.
When
David
lay
under
a
storme
of
persecution
,
his
soule
breakes
out
into
these
desires
,
and
wishes
;
O
that
I
had
wings
like
a
Dove
,
then
would
I
flee
away
and
be
at
rest
:
yea
I
would
hasten
my
escape
from
the
stormy
winde
,
and
tempest
.
And
so
we
come
to
the
third
and
last
part
of
the
Text
,
which
is
this
;
There
is
no
storme
in
the
ayre
,
nor
tempest
in
the
Sea
:
no
commotion
in
the
one
,
nor
concitation
in
the
other
,
A
Christian
acknowledges
no
other
Aeolus
for
the
windes
,
nor
Neptune
for
the
waters

he

and
dispatches
this
winged
messenger
into
all
quarters
.
And
as
he
is
the
God
of
the
windes
,
so
of
the
waters
too
.
His
way
is
in
the
Sea
,
and
his
path
in
the
great
waters
.

The
Sorcerers
could
not
doe
the
same
miracles
that
Moses
did
,
yet
they
could
doe
in
like
manner
:
So
the
devils
I
beleeve
cannot
make
a
winde
,
yet
they
can
counterfeit
and
come
very
neare
it
.
If
a
man
have
a
fan
in
his
hand
he
may
ventilate
,
and
agitate
the
still
ayre
into
a
winde
:
how
much
more
may
the
devils
by
the
greatnesse
of
their
power
,
and
swiftnesse
of
their
motion
,
so
compresse
and
agitate
the
ayre
as
to
throw
downe
houses
.
And
I
thinke
the
windes
that
are
bought
and
sold
are
no
other
.
What
the
strength
of
the
ayre
is
when
it
is
compressed
,
and
moved
violently
wee
may
see
in
the
breath
of
a
bullet
,
which
sometimes
,
kills
that
man
it
never
touches
.
It
is
an
easie
matter
for
the
devill
then
if
God
suffer
it
,
to
drive
a
ship
at
Sea
which
way
he
pleases
,
whose
motion
is
more
swift
,
and
violent
then
that
of
a
bullet
.
And
God
suffers
much
for
the
triall
of
our
faith
,
and
bringing
about
the
passages
of
his
secret
,
but
most
just
providence
.
So
then
,
no
true
winde
is
raised
but
by
God
,
for
he
it
is
that
formeth
the
mountaines
,
and
createth
the
winde
:
Now
is
it
thus
that
stormes
and
tempests
are
the
Lords
doing
,
and
the
singer
of
God
,
were
not
the
heathen
Philosophers
in
an
errour
thinke
you
that
chained
up
God
in
the
circle
of
the
heavens
and
confined
him
,
and
his
providence
to
the
Sphere
of
the
Moone
,
supposing
him
either
too
lazie
,
or
too
busie
to
intend
sublunary
affaires
?
The
soule
informes
all
the
members
of
the
body
,
the
foot
,
or
finger
as
well
as
the
head
:
So
God
who
is
the
soule
of
this
great
body
the
world
rules
and
governes
every
part
,
and
limbe
of
it
,
how
little
,
or
remote
soever
.
In
heaven
he
is
a
Glorious
God
,
in
earth
he
is
a
Gracious
God
,
in
the
ayre
he
is
an
angry
God
,
in
the
Sea
hee
is
a
terrible
God
,
in
hell
he
is
a
just
God
,
so
that
God
is
every
where
,
and
wheresoever
he
is
,
he
is
God
blessed
for
evermore
.
But
you
of
the
tribe
of
Zebulon
may
hence
learne
,
to
whom
to
direct
your
prayers
,
and
addresse
your
devotions
when
stormes
,
and
tempests
threaten
you
with
destruction
.
We
must
not
with
the
Heathen
invocate
the
starre
of
Venus
,
or
the
two
brethren
Castor
and
Pollux
,
or
Aeolus
the
father
of
the
windes
,
as
Horace
did
for
his
friend
Virgil
when
he
sailed
to
Athens
;
nor
with
the
superstitious
Papist
must
we
invocate
S.
Nicholas
;
but
with
the
disciples
we
must
goe
unto
Christ
and
awaken
him
with
our
prayers
,
saying
,
Master
save
us
or
else
we
perish
,
for
he
it
is
that
raises
the
storme
,
and
he
only
it
is
that
can
rebuke
it
.
O
Lord
God
of
hosts
,
who
is
a
strong
Lord
like
unto
thee
?
for
thou
rulest
the
raging
of
the
Sea
,
and
when
the
waves
thereof
arise
thou
stillest
them
.
The
floods
have
lifted
up
O
Lord
,
the
floods
have
lifted
up
their
voice
,
the
floods
have
lifted
up
their
waves
;
But
the
Lord
on
high
is
mightier
then
the
noise
of
many
waters
,
yea
then
the
mighty
waves
of
the
Sea
.
And
then
be
not
discouraged
with
those
dangers
which
attend
your
profession
,
sith
nothing
befalls
you
but
what
comes
by
Gods
commandement
,
and
providence
.
I
am
not
of
his
opinion
that
sayes
that
God
made
the
Sea
onely
for
the
beauty
of
the
element
,
not
for
the
art
of
Navigation
.
True
it
is
that
many
have
been
drowned
at
Sea
,
and
as
true
that
far
more
have
dyed
in
their
beds
.
Moses
when
he
blessed
Zabulon
,
bade
him
Rejoyce
in
his
going
out
;
and
that
you
may
doe
so
,
consider
that
no
storme
is
raised
by
the
malignity
of
the
starres
by
the
mischiefe
of
Fortune
,
or
by
the
malice
of
the
devill
,
but
by
the
power
and
appointment
of
a
good
God
.
Looke
up
to
the
crosse
in
your
Flagges
,
and
remember
him
who
was
the
beloved
Sonne
of
his
Father
,
yet
David
prophecyed
of
him
,
that
all
the
waves
and
billowes
should
goe
over
him

They
mount
up
to
heaven
,
they
goe
downe
again
to
the
depths
,
their
soule
is
melted
because
of
trouble
.
They
reele
to
and
fro
,
and
stagger
like
a
drunken
man
,
and
are
at
their
wits
end
.
WEE
have
already
seene
the
Seamans
dangers
in
their
causes
,
both
principal
which
is
Gods
command
;
and
instrumentall
,
the
windes
and
the
waves
.
Now
when
all
these
meet
together
at
Sea
,
as
they
did
but
lately
in
the
Text
,
it
must
needs
be
foule
weather
,
and
both
Ships
,
and
Saylours
in
great
danger
.
For
what
can
man
doe
when
God
hath
once
given
the
word
,
or
how
can
a
piece
of
wood
hold
out
when
it
is
assaulted
on
all
sides
with
two
furious
Elements
the
wind
,
and
water
?
The
parts
of
the
Text
are
as
the
Verses
,
two
.
First
,
the
danger
it selfe
in
a
violent
,
and
contrary
motion
of
elevation
,
and
depression
:
for
the
ship
riding
upon
the
backe
of
a
vast
,
and
mountainous
billow
seemes
to
faile
in
the
cloudes
;
but
the
treacherous
and
deceitfull
billow
sliding
from
it
,
throwes
it
into
such
depths
,
The
second
,
are
the
sad
consequences
,
and
attendants
of
this
danger
,
and
they
are
three
.
-
1.
Exanimation
,
and
Feare
.
Their
soule
is
melted
.
-
2.
Vacillation
,
and
staggering
,
illustrated
from
the
simile
of
a
drunken
man
.
-
3.
Stupefaction
and
astonishment
.
They
are
at
their
wits
end
.
And
indeed
many
times
they
are
so
,
before
they
be
halfe
way
in
their
voyage
.
First
of
the
danger
,
They
mount
up
to
heaven
,
they
goe
downe
againe
to
the
depths
.
The
Jewes
derided
the
Gospell
of
S.
Iohn
because
they
read
in
it
,
that
if
every
thing
that
Christ
did
was
written
,
the
world
it selfe
could
not
containe
the
Bookes
that
should
be
written
.
Isidore
Pelus
.
justifies
S.
Iohn
by
many
expressions
of
the
like
nature
.
God
promised
Abraham
that
he
would
make
his
seed
as
the
dust
of
the
earth
.
It
is
said
of
the
Cities
of
the
Amorites
that
they
were
walled
up
to
heaven
;
It
is
reported
of
the
land
of
Canaan
that
it
was
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honie
;
and
yet
I
beleeve
there
were
no
such
rivers
in
Paradise
.
And
it
is
here
said
that
such
sometimes
is
the
violence
of
the
windes
,
and
the
elevation
of
the
waters
,
that
ships
are
mounted
to
heaven
,
and
cast
down
to
hell
,
and
David
sayes
no
more
then
what
many
have
said
after
him
.
Tollimur
in
coelum
curvato
gurgite
,
&
iidem
Subductâ
ad
Manes
imos
descendimus
undâ
.
We
mount
to
heaven
,
or
dive
to
hell
As
wanton
billowes
sinke
,
or
swell
.
Me
miserum
quanti

Wretch
that
I
am
such
hills
of
water
rise
As
seeme
to
touch
the
heavens
,
and
wash
the
skies
:
And
in
a
trice
such
gaping
gulfes
appeare
,
As
if
that
way
to
hell
a
passage
were
.
Nubila
tanguntur
velis
,
&
terra

.
The
top-sailes
touch
the
clouds
,
the
keele
the
sands
.
Now
these
and
the
like
hyperbolicall
expressions
are
not
to
be
understood
precisely
according
to
the
sound
,
but
according
to
the
sense
;
and
they
intimate
thus
much
,
that
the
miracles
of
Christ
were
very
many
,
that
the
seed
of
Abraham
was
very
numerous
,
that
the
walls
of
the
Amorites
were
very
high
,
that
the
fruitfulnesse
of
Canaan
was
very
much
,
and
that
the
dangers
of
the
Sea
are
very
great
;
and
indeed
such
a
Poeticall
and
superlative
expression
was
the
fittest
for
this
Argument
.
The
Poet
will
not
be
perswaded
but
he
had
an
heart
of
oake

or
brasse
that
first
adventured
to
Sea
,
and
trusted
himself
in
a
wooden
vessell
with
that
mercilesse
element
.
And
another
will
not
beleeve
but
hee
that
goes
to
Sea
is
either
a
mad
man
,
or
a
beggar
,
or
desirous
to
die
.
Anacharsis
be
asked
whether
the
number
of
the
dead
,
or
the
living
was
the
greater
;
answered
that
he
knew
not
in
what
number
to
reckon
mariners
,
and
having
learnt
that
the
thicknesse
of
a
ship
was
but
foure
fingers
,
said
,
there
was
no
more
distance
betwixt
them
and
death
.
Let
a
ship
bee
built
as
strong
as
art
can
possibly
make
her
,
let
her
bee
laden
with
gold
,
silver
,
and
the
most
precious
commodities
,
let
her
cary
never
so
many
guns
,
let
her
beare
the
name
of
some
dreadfull
and
hideous
monster
,
yet
the
winde
playes
with
it
as
a
toy
,
and
the
waves
tosse
it
as
a
tennis
ball
,
as
S.
Paul
saith
of
the
ship
wherein
he
sailed
,
that
she
was
exceedingly
tossed
.
Now
if
the
danger
bee
so
great
that
you
are
mounted
up
to
heaven
and
throwne
downe
againe
into
the
depths
,
dare
any
of
you
venture
to
Sea
,
till
you
have
mounted
up
to
heaven
on
the
wings
of
prayer
,
that
Gods
power
,
and
protection
would
goe
along
with
you
,
and
gone
downe
into
the
depths
of
your
own
hearts
by
repentance
,
and
confession
of
your
sinnes
?
S.
Ieromes
counsell
is
that
we
should
not
stirre
abroad
till
we
have
armed
our selves
with
prayer
,
in
ep.
ad
Eustoch
.
for
Leo
in
via
,
there
is
a
Lion
in
the
way
,
and
danger
in
all
places
.
It
may
bee
some
incensed
Lamech
,
or
unnaturall
Cain
may
meet
thee
,
and
kill
thee
.
It
may
be
some
loose
tile
,
or
unjoynted
piece
of
timber
may
fall
upon
thee
,
and
brain
thee
.
And
if
it
be
thus
in
the
fields
,
or
streets
of
the
City
what
is
it
at
Sea
,
which
is
as
full
of
danger
as
it
is
of
water
,
every
wave
and
puffe
of
winde
threatning
destruction
;
nay
though
the
Sea
be
never
so
calme
,
and
the
winde
never
so
still
,
yet
there
is
but
the
thicknesse
of
a
plank
betwixt
you
and
ruine
.
Pitty
it
is
that
when
men
goe
to
Sea
they
are
carefull
to
have
their
number
of
men
,
their
provision
of
victuals
,
their
tire
of
guns
,
and
whatsoever
else
is
necessary
for
their
voyage
,
yet
the
one
thing
that
is
necessary
for
the
most
part
is
least
regarded
.
The
Church
of
Rome
teaches
her
disciples
to
cary
with
them
to
Sea
the
relique
of
some
Saint
,
as
an
antidote
and
preservative
against
all
dangers
,
or
to
invocate
some
commentitious
Patron
;
But
call
upon
mee
,
sayes
God
,
and
there
is
good
reason
wee
should
doe
so
,
for
the
Sea
is
his
and
he
made
it
,
and
he
that
made
it
can
rule
it
be
the
waves
thereof
never
so
unquiet
.
S.
Paul
intending
a
voyage
to
Ierusalem
,
would
not
enter
into
the
ship
till
he
had
kneeled
down
upon
the
shore
,
and
commended
himselfe
to
Gods
protection
.
The
gravell
I
confesse
was
but
a
hard
cushion
,
and
it
may
be
the
mariners
called
upon
him
to
come
aboard
because
the
tide
was
far
spent
,
or
the
winde
ready
to
alter
,
or
else
they
would
hoise
sayles
and
leave
him
,
yet
for
all
this
he
will
pray
before
hee
will
saile
;
and
commit
himselfe
to
God
,
before
he
commit
himselfe
to
the
deepe
waters
,
and
goe
thou
and
doe
likewise
.
And
prayer
if
it
save
not
thy
ship
,
will
save
thy
soule
;
if
it
keepe
not
thy
body
from
the
water
(
for
all
things
happen
alike
to
all
men
)
it
will
keepe
thy
soule
from
the
fire
which
is
the
greater
deliverance
.
Againe
,
are
the
dangers
of
the
Sea
so
great
,
and
dare
any
of
you
when
you
are
at
Sea
behave
and
demeane
your selves
prophanely
,
and
irreligiously
?
S.
Peter
discoursing
of
the
dissolution
of
the
world
,
when
the
heavens
shall
be
rouled
up
like
skins
of
parchment
,
and
the
elements
melt
with
fervent
heat
,
makes
this
inference
;
What
manner
of
men
ought
we
to
bee
in
all
holy
conversation
and
godlinesse
?
And
truly
when
I
consider
how
you
are
sometimes
mounted
up
to
heaven
where
God
is
ready
to
judge
you
,
and
sometimes
throwne
downe
into
the
depths
where
hell
is
ready
to
swallow
you
,
I
cannot
but
say
,
What
manner
of
men
ought
ye
to
be
?
Doubtlesse
a
Seaman
that
is
profane
is
as
prodigious
a
monster
,
as
a
poore
man
that
is
proud
,
or
a
rich
man
that
is
a
lyer
,
or
an
old
man
that
is
wanton
,
and
the
Lord
abhorres
him
as
well
as
any
of
the
other
.

and
therefore
such
as
will
not
be
ruled
on
land
we
send
to
Sea
,
that
being
disciplined
with
the
spectacles
of
Gods
power
,
and
the
strong
apprehensions
of
death
,
and
danger
they
may
be
reformed
;
and
yet
such
is
the
invincible
,
and
incorrigible
wickednesse
of
our
hearts
,
that
men
come
out
of
a
ship
as
the
beasts
out
of
Noahs
Arke
,
as
very
beasts
and
as
uncleane
as
when
they
went
first
in
;
and
like
the
Catadupi
continually
hearing
the
falls
of
Nilus
,
grow
deafe
and
heare
nothing
.
And
if
at
any
time
the
extremity
of
a
storme
extort
from
them
a
vow
of
amendement
,
it
is
for
the
most
part
blowne
over
with
the
foule
weather
,
and
like
Manna
melts
with
the
next
Sun-shine
.
I
remember
a
merry
story
of
one
who
in
a
tempest
vowed
he
would
offer
our
Lady
a
wax
light
as
big
as
his
maine
mast
if
he
escaped
:
and
being
reproved
by
one
of
his
fellowes
for
vowing
a
thing
impossible
,
peace
foole
sayes
he
,
we
must
speake
our
Lady
faire
now
,
but
if
I
get
to
shore
one
of
eight
in
the
pound
shall
serve
her
.
Much
better
did
a
company
of
mariners
who
vowed
if
they
escaped
the
tempest
to
build
a
Church
to
S.
Iohn
di
Malvatia
whose
morter
should
be
tempered
with
malmesey
,
and
accordingly
they
paid
it
.
Which
Church
is
in
Zara
or
Iudera
a
City
in
Dalmatia
,
for
the
possession
of
which
towne
there
have
beene
great
warres
betwixt
the
Hungarians
and
Venetians
.
Vow
therefore
unto
the
Lord
,
and
pay
it
,
and
say
as
the
Psalmist
,
I
will
goe
into
thine
house
with
burnt
offerings
,
I
will
pay
thee
my
vowes
which
my
lips
have
uttered
,
and
my
mouth
hath
spoken
when
I
was
in
trouble
.
Againe
,
are
the
dangers
of
the
Sea
so
great
,
and
can
you
forget
God
when
he
hath
delivered
you
from
them
?
must
not
you
needs
say
with
the
Apostle
,
Thankes
be
unto
God
who
hath
delivered
me
?
must
not
you
needs
confesse
with
David
,
that
if
the
Lord
had
not
helped
you
,
the
waters
had
overwhelmed
you
,
yea
the
proud
waters
had
gone
over
your
soule
?
But
because
I
shall
hereafter
have
occasion
to
speak
of
your
duty
after
your
deliverance
;
which
is
,
to
praise
the
Lord
and
declare
the
wonders
which
he
doth
for
the
sons
of
men
,
I
will
here
passe
it
over
.
We
have

literall
sense

Lucifer
said
in
his
heart
that
he
would
ascend
into

exalt

,
that
he
would
ascend
above
the
height
of
the
cloudes
,
and
be
like

:

but
God
tells
him
when
hee
had
done
so
,
he
should
be
brought
downe
to
hell
,
to
the
sides
of

is
his
going

one
undertakes
it
that
was
able
to
doe
it
,
though
Edom
exalt
himselfe
as

and
though
he

Arnobius
applyes
this
unto
S.
Peter
who
when
he
said
he
would
die
for
Christ
rather
then
deny
him
,
and
follow
him
though
all
forsooke
him
,
seemed
in
the
conceit
of
his
owne
strength
,
and
ability
to
be
mounted
up
to
heaven
:
but
when
he
denied
him
at
the
voice
of
a
silly
maide
hee
went
downe
into
the
depths
,
nay
hee
went
yet
lower
for
he
did
not
only
deny
him
,
but
forsweare
him
,
yet
after
all
this
he
went
out
and
wept
bitterly
,
and
so
as
it
followes
in
the
text
,
his
soule
was
melted
in
him
.
And
so
wee
come
to
the
sad
consequences
and
attendants
of
this
danger
,
the
first
whereof
is
expressed
in
an
elegant
metaphor
of
melting
and
liquefaction
;
Their
soules
are
melted
in
them
because
of
thetrouble
.
A
tempest
is
here
called
a
trouble
,
and
howsoever
in
the
Hebrew
the
word
be
in
the
singular
,
yet
S.
Ierome
renders
it
in
the
plurall
number
;
that
all
hope
of
being
saved
was
taken
away
from
them
;
Yet
secondly
,
though
we
be
naturally
troubled
with
the
sense
,
and
apprehension
of
death
,
yet
some
kindes
of
death
there
are
which
trouble
us
more
then
others
.
And
I
know
not
how
it
comes
to
passe
,
but
drowning
hath
ever
been
accounted
a
miserable
,
and
inglorious
death
,
as
appeares
by
that
of
the
Poet.
And
the
reason
hereof
it
may
be
was
because
they
thought
the
soule
,
Sen.
in
Agam
.
which
they
supposed
to
be
fire
,
was
extinguished
in
the
waters
:
or
else
because
it
is
a
death
wherein
a
man
can
give
no
testimony
of
his
valour
.
Farnab

Something
I
confesse
it
is
for
a
man
to
die
in
his
owne
countrey
,
to
kisse
his
wife
,
to
blesse
his
children
,
and
to
have
the
honour
of
a
decent
buriall
,
which
they
cannot
have
that
are
cast
away
at
Sea
.
And
hence
it
was
that
Aeneas
being
tossed
with
a
tempest
and
in
danger
of
drowning
cryed
out
,
happy
,
yea
thrice
happy
they
that
dyed
in
the
sight
of
their
friends
,
and
under
the
walls
of
their
owne
city
.
Yet
thirdly
,
as
some
kindes
of
death
are
more
troublesome
then
others
,
some
men
are
more
troubled
and
affrighted
with
the
apprehension
of
it
then
others
are
.
Death
is
not
very
troublesome
to
a
man
that
hath
languished
a
long
time
upon
the
bed
of
his
sicknes
,
afflicted
with
paines
and
diseases
,
for
he
is
as
it
were
mellowed
and
prepared
for
it
,
and
that
which
other
men
feare
he
wishes
;
but
it
must
needs
bee
very
bitter
and
terrible
to
a
man
that
hath
his
breasts
full
of
milke
,
and
his
bones
full
of
marrow
,
and
such
is
the
case
of
Seamen
who
dye
before
they
be
sick
,
and
are
arrested
with
the
stroke
of
death
before
age
or
diseases
gave
them
warning
to
prepare
for
it
.

The
word
is
diversly
rendred
by
Expositours
,
yet
as
Lorinus
observes
well
,
still
there
is
signified
an
exanimation
of
the
mariners
,
and
a
powring
or
a
running
out
of
their
soules
like
molten
mettall
because
of
the
greatnesse
of
the
danger
.
A
sect
of
Philosophers
there
was
that
devested
the
soule
of
all
passions
,
soule
was
sorrowfull
:
and
the
Evangelist
sayes
of
him
that
he
began
to
be
affraid
,
and
feare
and
heavinesse
are
passions
of
the
minde
,
yet
Christ
was
the
wisedome
of
his
Father
.
S.
Paul
confesses
of
himselfe
,
and
Barnabas
(
men
whom
the
Barbarians
thought
worthy
of
the
names
of
their
gods
,
and
divine
honours
)
that
they
were
subject
to
the
same
passions
that
others
were
.
I
would
not
I
confesse
have
a
man
so
fearefull
,

Nay
the
disciples
themselves
when
the
ship
was
covered
with
waves
grew
very
fearefull
,
notwithstanding
they
had

them
,
a
better
pledge
of
safety
then

Let
meè
close
up
this
with
the
story
which
Aulus
Gellius
tells
,
that
sailing
from
Cassiopeia
to
Brundusium
they
had
a
Philosopher
in
their
company
of
the
sect
of
Stoicks
;
and
being
in
danger
to
be
cast
away
by
a
violent
storm
,
I
observed
(
saith
he
)
how
the
Stoick
behaved
himself
,
and
though
(
saith
the
Author
)
he
did
not
cry
out
as
some
did
,
yet
his
countenance
changed
;
Master
save
us
:
or
had
the
people
beene
insensible
of
the
benefit
,
they
would
not
have
marvelled
,
and
magnified
our
Saviour
with
a
Quis
est
iste
?
Who
is
this
for
even
the
Sea
and
windes
obey
him
?
The
second
effect
of
a
tempest
is
the
vacillation
,
staggering
,
and
trepidation
of
their
bodies
,
illustrated
by
a
simile
taken
from
a
drunken
man
,
in
these
words
;
They
reele
to
and
fro
,
and
stagger
like
a
drunken
man
.
Salomon
compares
a
drunken
man
to
a
mariner
,
So
neare
that
many
times
they
are
the
same
:
for
howsoever
the
Sea
be
a
place
of
temperance
and
sobriety
,
yet
the
Seamans
farewell
and
his
welcome
home
are
many
times
more
reeling
and
giddy
then
the
storme
;
and
I
am
sure
more
dangerous
;
for
the
one
many
times
turnes
a
devill
into
a
Saint
,
but
the
other
transformes
a
man
into
a
Beast
.
A
mariner
and
a
drunken
man
are
alike
in
their
stomackes
,
both
sick
and
inforced
to
vomit
.
They
are
alike
in
their
eyes
,
for
both
suppose
things
that
are
fast
and
immoveable
to
flit
out
of
their
places
.
But
especially
they
are
alike
in
their
feet
,
for
the
feet
of
both
crosse
and
enterfeire
,
and
fall
foule
one
with
the
other
as
if
they
did
not
belong
to
the
same
body
,
and
this
the
text
cals
reeling
,
and
staggering
.
Lucretius
reckoning
up
the
effects
of
drunkennesse
makes
this
one
,
From
the
crowne
of
the
head
to
the
sole
of
the
foote
there
is
no
right
part
in
him
.
Salomon
calls
our
legs
the
strong
men
of
the
house
,
yet
in
a
storme
they
cannot
stand
their
ground
,
but
bow
and
buckle
under
us
.
Men
in
such
a
case
are
like
balls
in
a
Tennis
court
tossed
from
one
side
of
the
ship
unto
the
other
,
and
sometimes
banded
cleane
over
.
It
may
be
said
of
mariners
what
the
Jews
said
of
Cain
,
and
(
Clemens
Alexandr
.
seemes
to
follow
the
tradition
)
that
wheresoever
they
set
their
foot
the
floore
trembles
under
them
,
and
many
times
with
that
violence
that
they
knock
their
heads
one
against
another
.
Now
as
a
ship
was
the
embleme
of
the
Church
,
and
the
Sea
an
embleme
of
the
world
,
so
is
a
storme
of
persecution
;
and
in
nothing
more
then
in
this
,
that
it
staggers
the
faith
and
profession
of
so
many
Christians
.
Some
there
are
that
heare
the
word
of
God
,
and
receive
it
with
joy
,
yet
when
tribulation
or
persecution
doth
arise
because
of
the
word
,
by
and
by
they
are
offended
.
And
such
are
compared
to
an
house
built
upon
the
sands
which
cannot
indure
the
weather
,
for
when
the
raine
descended
,
and
the
floods
came
,
and
the
windes
blew
and
beat
upon
it
,
it
fell
;
and
the
fall
thereof
was
great
.
Every
sin
is
lapsus
a
slipping
,
or
sliding
:
some
sins
are
Casus
,
a
falling
to
the
ground
,
but
the
sinne
of
Apostacy
and
recidivation
is
Casus
magnus
a
great
fall
,
for
the
latter
end
of
that
man
is
worse
then
the
beginning
.
We
read
of
the
children
of
Ephraim
that
they
were
harnessed
and
caryed
bowes
;
shipwrack
of
faith
and
a
good
conscience
.
The
third
and
last
effect
is
stupefaction
and
astonishment
in
these
words
,
They
are
at
their
wits
end
.
Man
is
divided
by
S.
Paul
into
three
parts
,
the
soule
,
the
body
,
and
the
spirit
.
What
the
impression
of
a
storme
is
upon
the
soule
you
heard
in
these
words
,
Their
soules
are
melted
in
them
because
of
the
trouble
;
and
what
upon
the
body
in
these
,
They
reele
to
and
fro
,
and
stagger
like
a
drunken
man
;
Now
let
us
see
what
impression
it
makes
upon
the
spirit
,
or
understanding
in
these
words
,
They
are
at
their
wits
end
,
and
so
I
shall
be
at
my
workes
end
.
Some
there
are
that
read
the
place
thus
,
omnis
substantia
corum
deverate
est
;
and
then
it
is
not
that
they
are
at
their
wits
end
,
but
at
their
wealths
end
.
I
confesse
indeed
much
wealth
hath
been
swallowed
up
by
the
Sea
,
and
as
it
is
a
Mine
to
some
,
so
is
it
a
grave
to
others
.
Some
ships
like
Noahs
Dove
goe
forth
into
the
waters
,
and
returne
backe
againe
with
advantage
,
as
she
did
with
an
olive
branch
;
but
some
like
the
crow
are
sent
out
,
and
never
returne
.
But
the
best
reading
is
omnis
sapientia
as
S.
Ierom
renders
it
,
all
their
wit
and
wisdome
is
swallowed
up
;
Son
.
in
Agam.
Feare
conquers
art
:
the
master
does
not
know
Which
wave
to
breake
,
which
wave
to
yeeld
unto
.
We
see
then
our
industry
and
endeavour
,
our
wit
and
understanding
cannot
helpe
us
when
God
stands
in
our
way
as
the
Angel
did
in
Balaams
;
but
the
power
and
wisdome
of
God
swallowes
up
the
power
and
wisdome
of
the
creature
,
as
Aarons
rod
swallowed
up
the
rods
of
the
Egyptians
,
or
as
the
crosse
of
Christ
swallowed
up
the
idols
of
the
heathen
,
or
as
the
joy
of
the
Holy
Ghost
which
is
glorious
,
and
unspeakable
,
swallowes
up
all
other
delights
,
and
comforts
.
So
true
is
that
of
the
Psalmist
,
except
the
Lord
build
the
house
they
labour
in
vaine
that
build
it
:
Except
the
Lord
keepe
the
city
the
watchman
waketh
but
in
vaine
.
In
that
storme
in
the
Acts
of
the
Apostles
the
mariners
did
what
was
possible
to
save
themselves
,
and
the
ship
,
for
the
text
saith
they
undergirded
the
ship
,
and
heaved
their
tackling
and
lading
over
board
,
and
cast
anchors
out
of
the
sterne
,
yet
all
was
to
no
purpose
.
It
is
said
of
the
mariners
in
the
Prophet
,
Thus
the
power
of
God
doth
as
it
were
play
and
sport
it selfe
in
humane
affaires
,
And
therefore
let
not
the
wiseman
glory
in
his
wisdome
for
God
can
infatuate
it
;
nor
the
strong
man
in
his
strength
for
he
can
infeeble
it
,
nor
the
rich
man
in
his
wealth
for
he
can
impoverish
it
,
nor
the
mariner
in
his
skill
for
he
can
confound
it
;
but
let
us
in
every
thing
we
put
our
hand
unto
,
implore
his
blessing
,
without
the
influence
,
and
concurrence
whereof
all
our
workes
,
endeavours
,
and
devices
are
to
no
purpose
.
Help
us
therefore
O
God
of
our
salvation
;
to
whom
in
the
Trinity
of
persons
,
and
unity
of
essence
be
ascribed
all
power
,
praise
,
might
and
majestie
now
and
for
evermore
.
Amen

A
Prayer
to
be
used
by
the
Mariner
before
he
goe
to
Sea
.
OAlmighty
and
most
glorious
God
who
hast
disposed
of
the
sons
of
men
in
those
callings
which
seeme
meetest
to
thy
divine
Wisedome
,
and
hast
appointed
me
to
goe
downe
into
the
Sea
in
Ships
,
and
assigned
mee
my
businesse
in
the
great
waters
:
I
thy
creature
,
and
the
worke
of
thine
hands
doe
with
all
humility
and
thankfulnesse
embrace
the
order
of
thy
good
providence
,
who
art
a
God
which
doest
whatsoever
pleases
thee
in
heaven
,
in
earth
,
in
the
Sea
and
in
all
places
.
And
forasmuch
as
I
am
now
ready
to
commit
my selfe
unto
the
waters
,
I
most
humbly
beseech
thee
of
thy
goodnes
to
pardon
and
forgive
me
all
my
sins
:
cast
them
into
the
bottomelesse
Sea
of
thy
mercy
,
drown
them
in
the
red
Sea
of
thy
Sons
blood
as
thou
didst
the
Egyptians
in
the
waters
,
lest
they
cause
thee
to
vexe
me
with
thy
stormes
,
and
persecute
me
with
thy
tempests
.
And
sith
the
dangers
of
the
Sea
are
great
and
many
,
and
a
ship
is
counted
but
a
vaine
thing
to
save
a
man
:
O
let
thy
presence
and
protection
goe
along
with
me
to
save
me
from
the
hands
of
Pirates
,
from
the
fury
of
the
windes
and
waves
,
from
bondage
and
captivity
amongst
infidels
who
are
enemies
to
the
crosse
of
thy
Sonne
,
and
howsoever
it
shall
please
thee
to
dispose
of
my
body
,
be
mercifull
to
my
soule
for
thy
Names
sake
.
Keepe
me
also
ô
God
of
my
salvation
from
the
snares
,
and
infections
of
the
devil
who
is
ready
in
all
places
to
devoure
me
,
make
mee
constant
in
my
religion
,
just
and
true
in
all
my
dealings
,
and
give
mee
grace
in
all
places
where
I
come
to
demeane
my selfe
as
one
that
professes
the
name
of
Christ
,
lest
I
give
occasion
to
the
adversary
to
speake
evill
of
it
.
And
because
the
issue
and
successe
of
every
businesse
depends
onely
upon
thy
blessing
,
blesse
this
voyage
to
mee
thy
servant
;
blesse
it
to
my
soule
,
let
those
wonders
wherewith
thou
hast
replenished
the
deepe
waters
affect
mee
with
a
due
consideration
of
thy
glorious
attributes
,
and
imprint
upon
my
soule
a
sense
of
thy
power
,
an
acknowledgement
of
thy
wisdome
,
an
awe
of
thy
Majesty
,
that
so
my
heart
may
be
filled
with
thy
feare
,
and
my
mouth
with
thy
praises
.
Blesse
it
also
to
my
outward
man
,
and
as
my
calling
hath
thy
warrant
so
let
it
not
want
thy
benediction
,
that
I
may
bee
inabled
by
my
substance
to
honour
thee
,
and
helpe
others
.
Finally
ô
God
I
commend
unto
thy
fatherly
goodnesse
this
Church
,
and
Kingdome
whereof
I
am
a
member
;
my
friends
,
kindred
,
&
acquaintance
:
beseeching
thee
(
if
it
be
thy
blessed
will
)
to
returne
mee
safe
unto
these
comforts
.
Heare
my
prayers
for
them
,
and
theirs
for
me
,
and
thy
Son
Christ
Jesus
for
us
all
;
in
whose
most
blessed
name
and
words
I
come
unto
thee
,
and
call
upon
thee
saying
.
O
our
Father
which
art
in
heaven
,
&c.
A
Prayer
to
be
used
at
Sea
.
O
Most
mighty
and
most
mercifull
God
who
hast
commanded
us
to
call
upon
thee
in
the
day
of
trouble
,
and
hast
promised
to
deliver
us
:
I
thy
servant
doe
in
obedience
to
thy
command
,
and
confidence
in
thy
promise
flee
to
thee
for
succour
ô
God
most
holy
,
for
trouble
is
at
hand
and
there
is
none
to
deliver
me
.
Behold
me
now
ô
God
in
the
dangers
of
the
Deep
,
my
life
is
continually
in
thy
hand
,
and
I
am
ready
to
perish
every
moment
.
O
thou
that
didst
heare
the
prayers
of
thy
Prophet
from
the
bottome
of
the
Sea
,
thou
that
didst
awaken
at
the
cryes
of
thy
disciples
,
thou
that
leddest
thy
people
through
the
red
Sea
,
thou
that
didst
save
Noah
and
his
family
in
the
Arke
from
perishing
by
water
,
save
and
deliver
me
,
my
King
and
my
God
,
rebuke
the
stormy
windes
,
locke
them
up
in
thy
treasuries
,
and
command
the
proud
waves
of
the
Sea
to
be
still
,
that
I
may
arrive
safe
at
my
desired
haven
,
for
the
Sea
is
thine
and
thou
hast
made
,
it
&
though
the
floods
lift
up
their
voice
,
yet
thou
Lord
on
high
art
mightier
then
the
noyse
of
many
waters
,
yea
then
the
mighty
waves
of
the
Sea
.
I
confesse
ô
Lord
if
thou
shouldst
deale
with
me
after
my
deservings
,
thou
mightest
make
the
Sea
my
sepulchre
,
and
cover
me
with
the
deepe
waters
as
thou
didst
the
old
world
for
their
security
,
and
Pharaoh
and
his
hoast
for
their
obstinacy
;
I
have
multiplyed
my
sinnes
above
the
sands
upon
the
shore
,
and
my
heart
is
as
full
of
wickednesse
as
the
Sea
is
of
water
:
But
spare
me
O
God
,
good
Lord
spare
me
who
hast
not
spared
thine
owne
Son
to
redeeme
me
.
Pardon
my
sins
,
blot
out
my
offences
,
forgive
me
my
trespasses
,
and
let
the
light
of
thy
countenance
shine
upon
me
through
those
pretious
wounds
which
thy
Son
and
my
Saviour
suffered
in
his
body
upon
the
Crosse
for
me
.
And
now
O
God
I
resigne
,
and
give
up
my selfe
wholly
unto
thy
good
pleasure
,
saying
with
thy
servant
David
,
Here
I
am
do
with
me
whatsoever
seemeth
good
in
thine
eyes
.
I
know
thou
art
a
God
able
alike
to
save
in
all
places
,
I
know
that
the
windes
and
waves
obey
thee
,
I
beleeve
that
the
haires
of
my
head
are
numbred
,
and
that
the
Sea
shall
give
up
her
dead
at
the
last
day
,
thy
will
therefore
O
God
bee
done
in
heaven
,
in
earth
,
in
the
Sea
,
and
in
all
places
;
if
thou
hast
appointed
me
for
life
,
grant
that
I
may
live
in
thy
feare
,
if
thou
hast
appointed
me
for
death
(
for
my
times
are
in
thy
hands
)
grant
that
I
may
die
in
thy
favour
:
so
long
as
I
live
guide
mee
with
thy
grace
,
and
so
soone
as
I
die
receive
mee
into
thy
glory
,
and
all
this
for
Jesus
Christ
his
sake
in
whose
most
blessed
name
,
&c.
A
Prayer
after
our
returne
from
Sea
.
O
Most
great
,
and
most
gratious
God
,
I
have
called
upon
thee
in
the
day
of
trouble
,
and
thou
hast
heard
me
,
thou
hast
sent
from
above
and
drawne
me
out
of
many
waters
,
thou
hast
delivered
me
from
all
my
feares
,
thou
hast
considered
my
trouble
,
and
knowne
my
soule
in
adversities
,
so
that
the
water-flood
hath
not
overflowne
me
,
neither
hath
the
Deep
swallowed
me
up
:
And
now
what
shall
I
render
unto
thee
ô
God
of
my
salvation
for
all
thy
benefits
towards
me
?
I
will
sacrifice
unto
thee
with
the
voice
of
Thanksgiving
,
and
pay
that
that
I
vowed
when
I
was
in
trouble
.
And
here
I
offer
up
my
soule
and
body
a
holy
and
a
living
sacrifice
to
thee
ô
thou
preserver
of
men
,
and
let
it
be
as
that
sacrifice
which
Noah
offered
when
he
came
out
of
the
Arke
,
a
sacrifice
of
a
sweet
smelling
favour
.
I
confesse
I
am
unworthy
of
the
least
of
thy
mercies
,
but
the
more
unworthy
I
am
of
them
,
the
more
thankfull
I
will
be
for
them
;
and
therefore
blesse
the
Lord
ô
my
soule
,
and
all
that
is
within
mee
praise
his
holy
name
,
blesse
the
Lord
ô
my
soule
and
forget
not
all
his
benefits
,
for
he
hath
redeemed
my
life
from
destruction
,
and
satisfied
my
mouth
with
good
things
.
And
further
I
confesse
to
the
glory
of
thy
mercy
that
it
was
not
the
strength
of
the
ship
,
nor
our
art
and
skill
that
saved
us
,
but
thy
mighty
hand
,
and
outstretched
arm
;
not
unto
us
therfore
,
not
unto
us
,
but
unto
thy
Name
be
all
the
glory
,
for
who
amongst
the
sonnes
of
men
can
bee
likened
unto
thee
ô
Lord
?
and
amongst
the
Gods
there
is
none
that
can
doe
as
thou
doest
;
thou
art
great
and
doest
wondrous
things
,
thou
art
God
alone
,
thou
rulest
the
raging
of
the
Sea
,
and
when
the
waves
thereof
arise
thou
stillest
them
.
And
now
ô
Lord
as
thy
mercy
hath
preserved
me
from
drowning
and
shipwrack
,
so
let
it
preserve
thy
servant
from
the
deluge
of
intemperance
,
and
from
making
shipwrack
of
faith
and
a
good
conscience
;
lest
having
escaped
the
Sea
thy
vengeance
suffer
me
not
to
live
:
and
grant
that
I
may
expresse
my
thankfulnesse
by
walking
humbly
,
saithfully
;
and
obediently
before
thee
in
the
land
of
the
living
,
for
,
for
this
end
thou
hast
delivered
mee
that
I
might
serve
thee
without
feare
in
holinesse
and
righteousnes
all
the
dayes
of
my
life
:
and
so
thy
blessing
shall
be
still
upon
mee
,
thy
providence
still
over
mee
,
and
thou
shalt
never
be
weary
to
doe
me
good
.
And
lastly
,
as
thou
hast
put
an
end
unto
this
perilous
voyage
,
and
brought
me
safe
to
the
comforts
of
mine
owne
countrey
:
So
when
I
shall
have
runne
my
course
through
the
waves
of
this
troublesome
world
,
bring
mee
to
my
heavenly
countrey
the
new
Jerusalem
,
and
gather
my
soule
into
the
bosome
of
Abraham
that
place
of
peace
,
and
haven
of
true
happinesse
,
even
for
thy
deare
Sons
sake
Jesus
Christ
the
righteous
,
in
whose
name
and
merits
,
mediation
and
words
I
call
upon
thee
,
saying
.
O
our
Father
which
art
in
heaven
,
&c.
FINIS
