And they shall teach no more every man his Neighbour and every man his Brother saying Know the Lord for they shall all know him from the least to the greatest of them Jer. 31.34 By a servant of the Truth and a lover of Righteousnesse called William Caton LONDON Printed for Thomas Simmons at the Bull and Mouth near Aldersgate 1659. The Sea-mens invitation with a Passingers observation GIve eare O ye Sea-men And listen O all ye that practice Navigation Is there any men upon the face of the earth that hath more emminent deliverances from apparent perils then you Is there any calling or imployment wherein the Sons of men are exercised that the wonders of the Lord are more evident or do more frequently appear then in yours Can any men that replenish the Earth declare experimentally such remarkable deliverances from death as you can hath not the sentence of death been oftentimes passed by you upon your selves when you have seen no visible way to escape it and even at the very time hath not deliverance come from the Lord beyond expectation what dreadful and boisterous terrible and tempestious stormes do you often meet withall by Sea which were able to bring down the courage of the strongest man among you and to make his heart to faint and his flesh to tremble and have not your eyes seen those stilled by him whom the wind and seas obey But consider in the height of them and in the midst of your distress when death was feared and expected was not then amendment of life promised and a full resolution and determination in your hearts to live more godly and righteously the residue of your daies if that the Lord would be pleased at that time to deliver you and according to your desire it hath come to passe and your request in that particular hath been granted as many of you can witnesse But now mark and consider what use you have made of the remarkable deliverances before mentioned have you not been elevated and puffed up by them have you not been the more negligent and carlesse in serving the Lord thinking that he would deliver you as he had done though you spent your life as you had done formerly have you not often boasted of them vaunted your selves in making vain repetitions of them over your cups and pipes do you not often times curse yourselves and swear by your deliverer when you are repeating of them as idle stories rather then as remarkable deliverances but hear oh ye despisers of the Lords rich mercy of his forbearance and long suffering How are your promises performed to the Lord which you made in your distresse or how have you paid your vowes unto him seeing that after the hardnesse and impenitency of your hearts you treasure up wrath unto your selves against the day of wrath and Revelation of the righteous judgment of God who will render to every man according to his deeds Rom. 2.4 5. Moreover notwithstanding your manifold mercies and the remarkable deliverances that you have above other men who is there amongst the Sons of men that exceeds many of you in iniquity in licentiousnesse and Lasciviousnesse alasse for you that you should thus requite the Lord as if he were like unto your selves Surely friends out of the multitude of his mercyes and in his tender compassion hath he been pleased to deliver you out of many external perils which none besides him could have done and eminent dangers in which you had been overwhelmed long ago had he not had commiseration pitty upon you who joines hand in hand to work wickedness and doth rejoice in iniquity takes more pleasure in unrighteousness then in the Lord your deliverer who hath no delight in the death of a sinner but rather in shewing mercy on those that fear him and work Righteousnesse And be it known unto you O ye Sea-fairing men that your iniquities exceed the sins of many who have not seen halfe of the wonders of the Lord that you have been eye witnesses of How can superfluity of naughtinesse abound more among a people then it abounds among some of you and how few are there among you that will appear nobly to reprove it but will rather connive and wink at it yea and joine with them that live in it although there is a witnesse for God against it in your consciences yet that is little regarded nor its reproofs for if you did mind it and its reproofs then would you rather reprove the evil in your companions then consent unto it and so thereby you become guilty also even as he who sees a thief and consents unto him but oh be awakened to righteousnesse if there remains yet any true zeal in you for God and let wickednesse be expelled out from among you that righteousnesse may take place in you and this know that the spirit of the Lord God will not alwaies strive with you therefore learn to do well and cease to do evil that truth and equity may abound among you as sin and iniquity hath abounded then shall your light break forth as the morning and your health shall spring forth speedily yea then shall you call and the Lord shall answer you you shall cry and he shall say here I am One thing I have often observed among you oh ye sea-men and that is your tempting and provoking the Lord about the wind but let me aske you doth it ever blow but its fair for some of you as for instance if the wind be Easterly and some of you be in Holland ready to come for England then the wind is good and fair for such and at the same time peradventure some of you may be in England ready to goe for Holland but frets against the wind which obeyes the Lord and when he pleaseth he causeth it to come Westerly so that it becomes good for you also but not the sooner for your tempting of God about it And if it continue not good untill you by it be brought to your desired haven alas how will you then frowne against it and provoke him whom it obeyes by your cursing and
