the_o nation_n begin_v with_o peril_n in_o the_o deep_a and_o again_o twice_o repeat_v it_o in_o the_o same_o verse_n in_o peril_n of_o water_n in_o peril_n in_o the_o sea_n as_o if_o those_o alone_o

and_o mighty_a work_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o the_o extraordinary_a wonder_n of_o god_n providence_n be_v so_o apparent_a to_o these_o man_n eye_n that_o they_o can_v but_o consider_v they_o and_o take_v especial_a notice_n of_o the_o danger_n they_o pass_v through_o and_o however_o custom_n may_v in_o time_n wear_v off_o all_o sense_n of_o danger_n yet_o can_v it_o never_o lessen_v it_o as_o

which_o lie_v in_o wait_n for_o mariner_n a_o man_n may_v linger_v out_o his_o day_n under_o a_o sore_a disease_n and_o though_o some_o fierce_a kind_n may_v soon_o seize_v upon_o his_o vital_n yet_o

and_o diligent_o to_o watch_v because_o you_o know_v not_o in_o what_o hour_n this_o sad_a calamity_n may_v fall_v upon_o you_o watch_z therefore_o 44._o for_o you_o know_v not_o what_o hour_n the_o

the_o danger_n they_o become_v yet_o more_o terrible_a and_o beyond_o my_o ability_n to_o recount_v the_o danger_n of_o the_o water_n beneath_o the_o fall_n of_o spout_n from_o above_o the_o rock_n

then_o to_o call_v upon_o his_o god_n when_o he_o can_v expect_v no_o other_o answer_n than_o i_o know_v you_o not_o 41._o depart_v from_o i_o you_o wicked_a into_o everlasting_a fire_n prepare_v for_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n again_o for_o the_o frequency_n of_o the_o danger_n they_o be_v yet_o more_o formidable_a because_o this_o will_v certain_o convince_v you_o that_o these_o sad_a affliction_n be_v not_o only_o possible_a but_o common_a unto_o man_n and_o that_o for_o aught_o any_o one_o know_v to_o the_o contrary_a his_o own_o turn_n be_v next_o now_o that_o the_o danger_n which_o seafaring_a man_n be_v expose_v to_o be_v frequent_a and_o common_a and_o do_v ordinary_o happen_v unto_o they_o there_o need_v no_o other_o argument_n to_o convince_v you_o than_o your_o own_o experience_n of_o they_o the_o many_o rescue_v you_o have_v have_v out_o of_o the_o very_a jaw_n of_o death_n those_o many_o and_o even_o miraculous_a deliverance_n which_o you_o can_v

particular_a but_o that_o i_o be_o afraid_a it_o be_v a_o opinion_n too_o common_a among_o you_o that_o since_o the_o great_a improvement_n of_o navigation_n and_o the_o daily_a advancement_n of_o knowledge_n in_o sea-affair_n the_o ocean_n be_v now_o render_v so_o passable_a and_o secure_a that_o the_o accident_n seem_v not_o to_o exceed_v those_o which_o man_n in_o general_n be_v expose_v to_o and_o yet_o out_o of_o your_o own_o mouth_n may_v you_o be_v convince_v since_o it_o be_v hardly_o possible_o to_o find_v one_o seafaring_a man_n who_o be_v not_o able_a to_o recount_v as_o many_o danger_n as_o voyage_n and_o do_v not_o after_o a_o long_a and_o perilous_a absence_n from_o home_n esteem_v it_o almost_o a_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a to_o recover_v his_o native_a shore_n again_o now_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v but_o once_o thorough_o consider_v and_o lay_v to_o heart_n one_o will_v think_v it_o almost_o impossible_a there_o shall_v be_v any_o such_o monster_n in_o the_o world_n as_o a_o loose_a and_o irreligious_a seaman_n and_o that_o these_o be_v they_o of_o all_o man_n who_o live_v sober_o righteous_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o present_a world_n who_o pray_v continual_o navigare_fw-la and_o call_v upon_o their_o god_n and_o be_v least_o obnoxious_a to_o inconsideration_n and_o stupidity_n that_o these_o be_v they_o who_o live_v in_o a_o perpetual_a sense_n of_o the_o protect_a arm_n of_o god_n and_o a_o continual_a dread_n of_o his_o majesty_n in_o who_o after_o a_o extraordinary_a manner_n they_o live_v and_o move_v and_o have_v their_o be_v and_o that_o if_o this_o sort_n of_o warfare_n can_v persuade_v man_n neither_o will_v they_o be_v persuade_v though_o one_o shall_v rise_v to_o they_o from_o the_o dead_a there_o be_v nothing_o in_o this_o world_n which_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n can_v tend_v more_o to_o the_o awaken_n of_o man_n mind_n and_o bring_v they_o over_o into_o the_o way_n of_o religion_n and_o virtue_n than_o that_o perilous_a state_n they_o live_v in_o through_o the_o suddenness_n the_o number_n and_o frequency_n of_o those_o calamity_n which_o be_v always_o incident_a to_o seafaring_a man_n i_o come_v therefore_o to_o show_v ii_o what_o great_a encouragement_n you_o have_v to_o call_v upon_o god_n from_o the_o consideration_n of_o his_o especial_a providence_n over_o sea-affair_n if_o so_o be_v that_o god_n will_v think_v upon_o we_o that_o we_o perish_v not_o and_o whoever_o consider_v how_o full_a and_o express_v the_o scripture_n be_v in_o the_o declaration_n of_o this_o truth_n he_o will_v at_o the_o same_o time_n be_v incline_v to_o think_v that_o though_o god_n providence_n and_o his_o mercy_n be_v over_o all_o his_o work_n yet_o the_o great_a stroke_n of_o his_o divine_a arm_n be_v make_v most_o manifest_a in_o the_o deep_a for_o he_o it_o be_v who_o command_v and_o raise_v the_o stormy_a wind_n 25._o which_o lift_v up_o the_o wave_n of_o the_o sea_n 7._o he_o gather_v the_o water_n of_o the_o sea_n together_o as_o a_o heap_n and_o lay_v up_o the_o depth_n in_o his_o storehouse_n 7._o he_o tread_v upon_o the_o wave_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o still_v the_o noise_n of_o the_o sea_n 9_o and_o the_o noise_n of_o their_o wave_n he_o rule_v the_o rage_a of_o the_o sea_n and_o when_o the_o wave_n thereof_o arise_v 22._o he_o still_v they_o fear_v you_o not_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n will_v you_o not_o tremble_v at_o my_o presence_n which_o have_v place_v the_o sand_n for_o the_o bind_v of_o the_o sea_n by_o a_o perpetual_a decree_n that_o it_o can_v pass_v it_o and_o though_o the_o wave_n thereof_o toss_v themselves_o yet_o

can_v they_o not_o prevail_v though_o they_o roar_v yet_o can_v they_o not_o pass_v over_o it_o and_o what_o a_o encouragement_n must_v it_o need_v be_v to_o serve_v and_o fear_v that_o god_n who_o be_v thus_o able_a to_o think_v upon_o you_o that_o you_o perish_v not_o it_o can_v but_o be_v high_o your_o concern_n to_o engage_v this_o providence_n on_o your_o side_n which_o be_v only_o able_a to_o deliver_v you_o unless_o you_o can_v pretend_v like_o xerxes_n to_o stop_v the_o rage_a of_o the_o sea_n herodotus_n by_o cast_v manacle_n and_o fetter_n into_o the_o hellespont_n which_o he_o be_v as_o able_a to_o perform_v as_o thou_o be_v to_o bind_v the_o sweet_a influence_n of_o pleyade_n 31._o or_o loose_v the_o band_n of_o orion_n alas_o these_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o heaven_n and_o from_o hence_o alone_o must_v we_o expect_v to_o be_v deliver_v out_o of_o our_o distress_n but_o tell_v i_o o_o wretched_a man_n whoever_o thou_o be_v that_o be_v not_o use_v to_o call_v upon_o thy_o god_n but_o in_o thy_o oath_n and_o blasphemy_n which_o way_n can_v thou_o promise_v to_o thy_o self_n security_n whilst_o thou_o think_v thus_o to_o outface_v god_n and_o defy_v the_o almighty_a when_o he_o have_v get_v thou_o fast_o if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v in_o the_o very_a element_n of_o his_o wrath_n what_o mean_v thou_o o_o sleeper_n do_v thou_o presumptuous_o go_v on_o because_o thy_o misfortune_n hitherto_o have_v not_o be_v worse_o than_o other_o man_n 6._o despise_v thou_o the_o riches_n of_o god_n goodness_n and_o forbearance_n and_o long_o suffer_v not_o know_v that_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n shall_v lead_v thou_o to_o repentance_n but_o after_o thy_o hardness_n and_o impenitent_a heart_n treasurest_n up_o unto_o thyself_o wrath_n against_o the_o day_n of_o wrath_n and_o revelation_n of_o the_o righteous_a judgement_n of_o god_n who_o when_o the_o sea_n shall_v give_v up_o her_o dead_a will_v render_v to_o every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o deed_n 13._o it_o be_v true_a how_o much_o soever_o we_o call_v upon_o our_o god_n yet_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n may_v we_o still_o fail_v of_o a_o deliverance_n and_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o expect_v that_o the_o event_n must_v punctual_o answer_v our_o desire_n unless_o we_o be_v as_o able_a to_o judge_v for_o ourselves_o as_o infinite_a wisdom_n itself_o be_v but_o although_o ordinary_o it_o can_v be_v suppose_v that_o every_o good_a man_n shall_v hear_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n who_o he_o be_v and_o who_o he_o serve_v speak_v to_o he_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o once_o to_o the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n fear_v not_o 24._o thou_o must_v be_v bring_v before_o caesar_n and_o lo_o i_o have_v give_v thou_o all_o they_o that_o sail_n with_o thou_o though_o i_o say_v it_o be_v unjustifiable_a thus_o to_o presume_v upon_o extraordinary_a act_n of_o providence_n yet_o do_v it_o not_o at_o all_o follow_v from_o hence_o that_o good_a man_n be_v not_o entitle_v to_o the_o mercy_n and_o deliverance_n of_o god_n and_o the_o bad_a be_v not_o sometime_o example_n of_o his_o vengeance_n this_o be_v plain_o acknowledge_v by_o the_o philosopher_n when_o he_o bespeak_v his_o

perish_v for_o your_o sake_n iii_o i_o come_v now_o to_o answer_v some_o objection_n which_o this_o discourse_n may_v be_v think_v liable_a unto_o and_o the_o most_o plausible_a that_o i_o can_v think_v of_o be_v these_o that_o follow_v 1._o that_o religion_n be_v apt_a to_o inject_v fear_n into_o man_n mind_n which_o must_v needs_o render_v it_o very_o improper_a for_o seafaring_a man_n 2._o it_o will_v take_v up_o too_o much_o of_o your_o time_n and_o slacken_v your_o endeavour_n in_o case_n of_o imminent_a danger_n 3._o that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o sea_n be_v rather_o apt_a to_o draw_v man_n off_o from_o the_o belief_n of_o a_o god_n and_o providence_n than_o to_o settle_v and_o establish_v they_o in_o it_o and_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v so_o i_o have_v lose_v my_o labour_n all_o my_o advice_n be_v in_o vain_a but_o let_v we_o see_v of_o what_o force_n these_o objection_n be_v before_o we_o and_o our_o religion_n so_o easy_o part_v and_o 1._o it_o be_v say_v that_o religion_n be_v apt_a to_o inject_v fear_n into_o man_n mind_n which_o must_v needs_o render_v it_o very_o improper_a for_o seafaring_a man_n for_o it_o be_v already_o grant_v that_o throughout_o the_o whole_a visible_a creation_n there_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v such_o another_o scene_n of_o astonish_a danger_n as_o man_n sometime_o meet_v with_o out_o at_o sea_n when_o they_o be_v on_o all_o side_n terrify_v with_o grim_a messenger_n of_o death_n and_o as_o the_o psalmist_n well_o express_v it_o 27._o they_o reel_v to_o and_o fro_o and_o stagger_v like_o a_o drunken_a man_n and_o be_v at_o their_o wit_n end_n it_o will_v then_o follow_v that_o they_o of_o all_o man_n in_o the_o world_n have_v at_o such_o time_n the_o great_a need_n of_o a_o undaunted_a courage_n and_o a_o bold_a and_o resolute_a mind_n but_o this_o can_v otherwise_o be_v obtain_v than_o by_o cast_v off_o all_o apprehension_n of_o death_n and_o hell_n and_o a_o judgement_n to_o come_v which_o will_v so_o enfeeble_v man_n mind_n and_o prey_n upon_o their_o spirit_n that_o the_o effect_n of_o dwell_v upon_o such_o thought_n will_v certain_o appear_v to_o be_v a_o heartless_a and_o despair_a condition_n and_o since_o it_o be_v the_o best_a way_n to_o overlook_v all_o those_o terror_n which_o be_v so_o visible_a about_o we_o what_o reason_n be_v there_o that_o we_o shall_v create_v new_a one_o which_o be_v not_o see_v and_o raise_v a_o more_o formidable_a enemy_n within_o ourselves_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o first_o i_o yield_v partly_o to_o what_o the_o objection_n suppose_v that_o bad_a man_n when_o their_o life_n be_v in_o real_a danger_n have_v the_o terror_n of_o the_o lord_n upon_o they_o and_o a_o fearful_a expectation_n of_o a_o judgement_n to_o come_v and_o if_o man_n will_v venture_v out_o at_o sea_n with_o evil_a habit_n about_o they_o and_o lade_v with_o iniquity_n there_o be_v no_o help_n for_o it_o if_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n and_o a_o judgement_n consequent_a upon_o it_o shall_v natural_o accompany_v and_o overset_v they_o there_o be_v no_o other_o possible_a remedy_n in_o this_o case_n but_o one_o and_o that_o be_v that_o such_o man_n will_v deal_v by_o their_o sin_n as_o the_o mariner_n in_o the_o verse_n before_o my_o text_n be_v force_v to_o do_v by_o their_o ware_n get_v rid_v of_o they_o as_o speedy_o as_o they_o can_v that_o by_o so_o do_v they_o may_v lighten_v the_o vessel_n 1._o and_o have_v lay_v aside_o every_o weight_n and_o the_o sin_n which_o do_v so_o easy_o beset_v they_o they_o may_v run_v with_o patience_n that_o
