The World may be very fitly compared to the Sea in many concurrences.
1. The Sea is an unquiet Element, a fuming & foaming beast, which none but the Makers hand can bridle. Math. 8. What manner of man is this, that even 1the Winds and the Sea obey him? The world is in full measure as unruly. It is the Lord that stilleth the noise of the Seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult 2of the people. Where the Psalmist matcheth roaring waves, and roaring men: the raging of the Sea with the madness of the world. And yet God is able to still them both. The Prophet calls the Sea a raging creature, and therein yokes it with the wicked. The wicked are like the troubled Sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.3
