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
