and_o that_o chief_o by_o the_o aid_n of_o navigation_n it_o be_v a_o great_a presumption_n in_o mighty_a man_n to_o oppose_v themselves_o against_o the_o order_n of_o the_o omnipotent_a and_o against_o that_o communion_n of_o benefit_n which_o he_o will_v have_v to_o be_v maintain_v among_o man_n who_o he_o can_v constrain_v to_o observe_v his_o ordinance_n even_o through_o their_o own_o

for_o such_o restraint_n by_o commandment_n be_v so_o far_o from_o hinder_v their_o covetousness_n that_o it_o do_v more_o inflame_v it_o because_o they_o expect_v great_a gain_n then_o if_o there_o be_v mutual_a liberty_n and_o therefore_o they_o cause_v more_o ware_n secret_o to_o pass_v and_o by_o that_o mean_v they_o put_v all_o to_o hazard_v yea_o they_o will_v rather_o open_v a_o way_n under_o ground_n like_o mole_n or_o else_o will_v fly_v in_o the_o air_n like_o bird_n then_o leave_v such_o trade_n so_o wonder_a be_v god_n in_o all_o his_o work_n and_o in_o the_o government_n of_o

but_o that_o this_o order_n must_v be_v continue_v for_o this_o cause_n likewise_o it_o be_v not_o the_o will_n of_o the_o creator_n that_o the_o water_n shall_v so_o gather_v themselves_o into_o

god_n have_v give_v we_o many_o other_o mean_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v behold_v with_o our_o eye_n many_o testimony_n of_o his_o providence_n engrave_v in_o every_o part_n of_o the_o univer_n by_o

mariner_n do_v find_v themselves_o very_o much_o hinder_v and_o trouble_v for_o than_o they_o prove_v that_o which_o job_n say_v concern_v the_o work_n of_o god_n to_o wit_n 9_o job._n 9_o that_o he_o
