B08671 The sea-mens invitation, with a passengers observation in some particular things which concern them that practice navigation. 1 Their remarkable deliverances; and the use they make of them. 2 Their tempting and provoking of God about the winde, which obeys the Lord. 3 Their abusing themselves and their liberty when they go a shoar, whereby the creature suffers. 4 Something in particular to the captains and masters, and to all their inferiour officers. 5 How little the sea-men (with the souldiers in the fleet) are profited by their chaplains that in the year do get several groats out of their wages. And a more excellent way of teaching shewn then that of their chaplains. / By a servant of the truth, and a lover of righteousnesse, called William Caton. Caton, William, 1636-1665. 1659 (1659) Wing C1519; ESTC R171117 10,341 16

swear_v by_o your_o impatiency_n and_o frowardness_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o who_o cause_v the_o rain_n to_o fall_v upon_o the_o just_a and_o the_o unjust_a he_o also_o make_v the_o wind_n to_o be_v serviceable_a to_o you_o all_o without_o which_o none_o of_o you_o can_v sail_v from_o country_n to_o country_n like_o as_o you_o do_v though_o it_o may_v be_v just_a with_o the_o lord_n who_o be_v slow_a to_o anger_v to_o cause_v the_o wind_n to_o be_v still_o and_o so_o thereby_o deprive_v you_o of_o the_o benefit_n of_o it_o because_o of_o your_o unthankfulness_n for_o it_o and_o your_o unworthiness_n of_o it_o and_o this_o know_v that_o if_o he_o shall_v bid_v or_o command_v it_o to_o be_v still_o you_o if_o you_o be_v ten_o time_n more_o than_o you_o be_v can_v not_o make_v it_o blow_v for_o it_o will_v not_o obey_v you_o but_o he_o that_o create_v it_o viz._n the_o lord_n god_n of_o host_n be_v his_o name_n who_o be_v daily_o provoke_v by_o you_o concern_v this_o thing_n and_o you_o chafe_v and_o sret_v yourselves_o about_o it_o when_o it_o be_v against_o you_o but_o which_o of_o you_o by_o curse_v and_o sway_v by_o chafe_v and_o fret_v yourselves_o can_v make_v it_o blow_v as_o you_o listen_v though_o it_o blow_v where_o it_o list_v and_o as_o he_o please_v who_o it_o obey_v be_v it_o not_o better_o therefore_o for_o you_o to_o be_v still_o and_o quiet_a and_o content_a consider_v that_o although_o it_o be_v not_o good_a for_o you_o in_o particular_a yet_o it_o be_v good_a and_o fair_a for_o some_o that_o practise_v navigation_n who_o ought_v to_o have_v the_o benefit_n of_o it_o as_o well_o as_o you_o although_o none_o of_o you_o have_v ever_o see_v it_o good_a for_o you_o all_o at_o once_o yet_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v none_o among_o you_o that_o have_v sail_v upon_o the_o sea_n half_a a_o year_n together_o but_o that_o the_o wind_n have_v be_v good_a for_o you_o at_o one_o time_n or_o another_o and_o this_o i_o say_v concern_v it_o that_o it_o may_v teach_v you_o who_o be_v disobedient_a to_o he_o who_o it_o obey_v to_o wit_n the_o lord_n who_o rebuke_v the_o wind_n and_o say_v unto_o the_o sea_n peace_n be_v still_o and_o then_o the_o wind_n cease_v and_o there_o be_v a_o great_a calm_a but_o though_o you_o be_v by_o he_o forbid_v to_o swear_v mat._n 5.34_o yet_o you_o be_v more_o disobedient_a to_o he_o then_o the_o wind_n which_o cease_v at_o his_o rebuke_n but_o so_o do_v not_o you_o from_o swear_v at_o his_o reproof_n he_o say_v love_v your_o enemy_n bless_v they_o that_o curse_v you_o etc._n etc._n but_o be_v not_o you_o disobedient_a to_o he_o in_o those_o thing_n and_o in_o many_o more_o which_o may_v be_v instance_a and_o therefore_o i_o say_v the_o wind_n may_v teach_v you_o which_o sometime_o some_o of_o you_o will_v curse_v for_o obey_v he_o who_o say_v bless_v and_o curse_v not_o but_o your_o folly_n in_o this_o thing_n be_v mighty_a great_a and_o the_o lord_n he_o will_v judge_v you_o for_o it_o and_o do_v not_o think_v that_o he_o will_v hold_v you_o guiltless_a who_o curse_v that_o which_o he_o bring_v out_o of_o his_o treasury_n psal_n 135.7_o which_o in_o itself_o be_v very_o good_a and_o who_o among_o man_n can_v more_o subsist_v without_o it_o than_o you_o who_o sometime_o will_v seem_v thankful_a for_o it_o when_o it_o satisfy_v your_o will_n but_o if_o it_o cross_v you_o bow_v froward_a and_o impatient_a be_v you_o fret_a yourselves_o and_o provoke_v he_o who_o it_o obey_v when_o it_o cross_v you_o therefore_o consider_v of_o this_o you_o that_o go_v down_o to_o the_o sea_n in_o ship_n that_o do_v business_n in_o great_a water_n and_o learn_v to_o fear_v the_o lord_n who_o command_v and_o raise_v the_o stormy_a wind_n note_v when_o stormy_a wind_n come_v with_o which_o you_o be_v often_o offend_v that_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o raise_v stormy_a wind_n and_o who_o also_o still_v they_o and_o he_o they_o do_v obey_v who_o make_v the_o storm_n a_o calm_a so_o that_o the_o wave_n thereof_o be_v still_o and_o then_o be_v not_o you_o glad_a when_o you_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o rage_n of_o the_o proud_a swell_a wave_n of_o the_o boisterous_a sea_n but_o alas_o how_o quick_o then_o do_v you_o forget_v your_o vow_n which_o you_o make_v to_o the_o lord_n when_o your_o heart_n faint_v and_o your_o soul_n melt_v because_o of_o fear_n and_o trouble_v that_o be_v upon_o you_o in_o the_o tempestuous_a storm_n when_o you_o be_v almost_o at_o your_o wit_n end_n but_o o_o that_o you_o will_v now_o be_v persuade_v to_o pay_v your_o vow_n to_o the_o lord_n and_o not_o to_o forget_v all_o his_o deliverance_n nor_o yet_o his_o mercy_n and_o favour_n which_o he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o you_o than_o will_v he_o oftentimes_o for_o your_o sake_n rebuke_v the_o wind_n and_o the_o sea_n yea_o he_o will_v hear_v your_o cry_n in_o the_o time_n of_o trouble_n and_o bring_v you_o out_o of_o your_o distress_n wherefore_o be_v awaken_v to_o righteousness_n oh_o

and_o that_o afterward_o you_o by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n come_v well_o into_o a_o harbour_n and_o be_v permit_v to_o go_v a_o shore_n either_o about_o your_o business_n or_o to_o see_v your_o

more_o like_a beast_n than_o man_n and_o thus_o you_o abuse_v yourselves_o and_o your_o liberty_n and_o come_v thereby_o the_o more_o to_o be_v bereave_v of_o it_o and_o in_o all_o this_o the_o

among_o you_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o in_o three_o particular_n how_o the_o creature_n suffer_v first_o it_o may_v suffer_v by_o be_v several_a month_n upon_o the_o sea_n be_v keep_v with_o salt_n

when_o it_o shall_v be_v refresh_v by_o your_o excessive_a drink_n &_o intemperate_a eat_n you_o not_o be_v wise_a enough_o to_o govern_v yourselves_o in_o such_o a_o condition_n when_o your_o
