thy raging Sea and the noise of the proud Waves have done me no harm if thy Almighty Providence had not protected me the streams had gone over my Soul But the stormy Wind and Tempest I have narrowly escaped the storm is ceased and I am safely delivered AND now what shall I render to thee O Lord for this and all other thy great benefits I will offer up unto thee the Sacrifice of Thanksgiving and will pay those vows I so solemnly made unto thee when I was in trouble I will evermore remember that my help is in the Lord who made Heaven and Earth and that thou art that God that can and will deliver me let this thy mercy and loving kindness never depart my memory but let me praise thy goodness and sing of thy power unto my lives end Amen FINIS
