and_o so_o sleep_a sin_n and_o sleep_v in_o sin_n therefore_o let_v they_o now_o give_v ear_n that_o be_v asleep_a for_o we_o be_v come_v to_o jonahs_n sleep_n not_o that_o we_o shall_v sleep_v with_o

declare_v the_o occasion_n of_o the_o shipmaister_n speech_n to_o jonah_n but_o chief_o to_o note_v the_o dead_a security_n of_o jonah_n in_o his_o sin_n for_o as_o much_o as_o though_o the_o mariner_n cry_v for_o fear_n and_o cast_v out_o their_o good_n nay_o the_o very_a senseless_a ship_n seem_v to_o feel_v the_o anger_n of_o god_n and_o to_o cry_v to_o jonah_n by_o roll_a and_o crack_v yet_o jonah_n be_v not_o once_o move_v thereat_o but_o lay_v still_o fast_o a_o sleep_n so_o by_o jonah_n his_o sleep_v we_o see_v the_o nature_n of_o all_o the_o son_n of_o adam_n when_o they_o listen_v to_o the_o serpent_n they_o be_v like_o changeling_n they_o be_v cast_v into_o a_o dead_a sleep_n for_o when_o they_o forget_v god_n and_o his_o word_n and_o bid_v conscience_n adiewe_v they_o sleep_v in_o sin_n and_o that_o to_o death_n like_o one_o sick_a of_o the_o lethargy_n jonah_n signify_v a_o dove_n jonah_n therefore_o be_v now_o indeed_o jonah_n i_o mean_v like_o the_o dove_n which_o noah_n send_v forth_o of_o the_o ark_n for_o as_o the_o dove_n be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o arkecould_n find_v no_o rest_n for_o the_o sole_a of_o her_o foot_n till_o she_o return_v into_o the_o ark_n again_o so_o when_o jonah_n rise_v up_o from_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o lord_n he_o can_v find_v no_o rest_n for_o his_o mind_n neither_o by_o sea_n nor_o land_n until_o he_o return_v again_o unto_o the_o lord_n for_o the_o cause_n of_o jonahs_n go_v down_o to_o sleep_n be_v it_o seem_v to_o ease_v his_o mind_n for_o it_o be_v disquiet_v he_o feel_v it_o grievous_o trouble_v the_o conscience_n of_o his_o sin_n torment_v it_o therefore_o now_o o_o that_o jonah_n can_v sleep_v till_o the_o tempest_n be_v pass_v but_o it_o will_v not_o be_v for_o the_o tempest_n be_v send_v purposely_o to_o wake_v he_o and_o he_o be_v fast_o a_o sleep_n see_v how_o little_a jonah_n be_v ashamed_a of_o his_o sin_n all_o the_o world_n smart_v for_o it_o and_o yet_o he_o sleep_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v neither_o the_o wind_n blow_v nor_o the_o water_n roar_v stir_v jonah_n sleep_v while_o all_o else_o stir_v nor_o the_o ship_n reel_v nor_o the_o ware_n cast_v nor_o the_o mariner_n cry_v with_o all_o the_o stir_n can_v move_v he_o waken_v he_o from_o his_o sleep_n or_o rail_v he_o from_o his_o sin_n now_o jonah_n may_v say_v i_o be_v a_o sleep_n and_o all_o may_v have_v perish_v for_o i_o if_o one_o god_n have_v not_o help_v more_o than_o all_o the_o rest_n for_o jonah_n sleep_v but_o god_n wake_v and_o call_v to_o the_o wind_n and_o the_o water_n say_v toss_v he_o but_o you_o shall_v not_o drown_v he_o fear_v he_o but_o you_o shall_v not_o kill_v he_o whip_v he_o and_o when_o you_o have_v whip_v he_o send_v he_o to_o i_o that_o i_o may_v send_v he_o to_o niniveh_n jonah_n be_v fast_o a_o sleep_n when_o the_o wind_n over_o he_o be_v blow_v the_o water_n under_o he_o toss_v the_o ship_n about_o he_o reel_v the_o mariner_n by_o he_o cry_v the_o ware_n in_o overboard_n cast_v in_o all_o the_o stir_n jonah_n feel_v nothing_o but_o sleep_v as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o stir_v yet_o we_o go_v far_o beyond_o jonah_n in_o security_n for_o the_o lord_n cause_v the_o tempest_n to_o blow_v down_o house_n beside_o we_o the_o heaven_n to_o thunder_n over_o we_o the_o earth_n quake_v under_o we_o the_o water_n to_o overflow_v the_o land_n about_o we_o the_o fire_n to_o consume_v all_o that_o we_o have_v before_o we_o the_o air_n with_o cold_a ready_a to_o kill_v we_o and_o all_o thing_n in_o a_o uproar_n round_o about_o against_o we_o thereby_o always_o cross_v we_o one_o way_n or_o another_o and_o all_o to_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o our_o duty_n the_o neglect_n whereof_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o these_o trouble_n which_o the_o lord_n do_v send_v we_o but_o we_o sleep_v more_o deadly_a than_o jonah_n in_o our_o negligence_n void_a of_o feeling_n because_o we_o consider_v not_o what_o we_o have_v do_v we_o look_v not_o back_o on_o our_o sin_n yet_o every_o cross_n shall_v cause_v we_o to_o examine_v ourselves_o thorough_o and_o leave_v no_o sin_n unview_v that_o we_o may_v lively_o feel_v our_o wickedness_n and_o so_o due_o repent_v it_o and_o soon_o find_v release_n of_o our_o misery_n therefore_o if_o we_o sleep_v still_o and_o will_v not_o be_v waken_v god_n will_v deal_v more_o rough_o with_o we_o than_o he_o do_v with_o jonah_n for_o the_o lord_n cause_v a_o whale_n to_o swallow_v he_o and_o afterward_o to_o cast_v he_o up_o again_o but_o we_o shall_v be_v swallow_v of_o that_o serpent_n which_o never_o
