something_o in_o the_o praise_n of_o fisherman_n and_o fish_n a_o short_a encomium_n or_o somewhat_o in_o praise_n of_o fisherman_n and_o fish_n it_o be_v very_o remarkable_a that_o among_o the_o twelve_o holy_a apostle_n there_o be_v four_o of_o they_o fisherman_n who_o our_o saviour_n elect_v and_o inspire_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o the_o reason_n that_o some_o give_v for_o this_o choice_n be_v that_o he_o know_v and_o find_v the_o heart_n of_o such_o man_n natural_o more_o fit_v for_o contemplation_n and_o quietness_n have_v spirit_n mild_a sweet_a and_o peaceable_a beside_o our_o saviour_n seem_v to_o have_v a_o more_o than_o common_a respect_n for_o their_o ocupation_n for_o two_o reason_n first_o he_o never_o reprove_v these_o for_o their_o profession_n as_o he_o do_v other_o viz._n the_o scribe_n and_o money-changer_n next_o he_o dignify_v these_o poor_a fisherman_n with_o the_o priority_n of_o nomination_n in_o the_o catalogue_n of_o his_o twelve_o apostle_n nay_o that_o which_o be_v more_o observable_a be_v this_o that_o our_o saviour_n take_v only_o three_o of_o these_o fisherman_n with_o he_o when_o he_o ascend_v the_o mount_n to_o bear_v he_o company_n at_o his_o transfiguration_n now_o as_o to_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o fish_v i_o think_v none_o can_v speak_v against_o it_o since_o our_o saviour_n himself_o command_v st._n peter_n to_o fish_n to_o pay_v caesar_n his_o tribute_n and_o as_o the_o ancient_n have_v high_o applaud_v and_o approve_v of_o this_o ingenious_a exercise_n several_a of_o the_o hero_n of_o old_a in_o the_o height_n of_o their_o glory_n have_v exercise_v themselves_o herein_o so_o several_a of_o our_o eminent_a late_a divine_n have_v do_v the_o like_a as_o dr._n whitaker_n learned_a perkins_n dr._n nowell_n dean_n of_o st._n paul_n london_n and_o the_o incomparable_a sir_n henry_n wotton_n provost_n of_o eton_n college_n who_o be_v a_o great_a lover_n of_o angle_a and_o will_v frequent_o say_v thereof_o that_o it_o be_v after_o his_o study_n a_o rest_n to_o his_o mind_n a_o chearer_n to_o his_o spirit_n a_o diverter_n of_o sadness_n a_o calm_a of_o unquiet_a thought_n a_o moderator_n of_o

large_a carp_n from_o such_o pond_n for_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o number_n of_o the_o spawn_n will_v over_o stock_n the_o pond_n therefore_o for_o large_a carp_n a_o store-pond_n be_v ever_o

a_o gentleman_n not_o far_o from_o the_o city_n of_o london_n have_v a_o large_a pond_n of_o about_o four_o acre_n of_o ground_n a_o gentleman_n stand_v by_o at_o the_o sue_v thereof_o and_o see_v
