A commentary or, exposition upon the divine second epistle general, writtenA commentary or, exposition vpon the diuine second epistle generall, written

One would think, that the terrors of the Ocean, the wonders of God in the deep, ¹should melt their very soul, and humble them. Where the winds domineer, and the waves roare, volvuntur ut aequora montes: where they lye, Digitis à morte remoti Qua•uor aut septem: Where no mercy is to be hoped. Qui nescit orare, discat navigare: He that hath not learned to pray, let him learn to fail. Yes, haply they will pray and cry too, while the tempest beats, cast up their eyes, and send their prayers to the offended heavens: but is not their piety blown over with their misery? Yes, the GOD of their Supplications, is on Land become the object of their blasphemies: and they seldom think of him, but when they borrow his Name to swear by. The LORD is our preserver by Sea and Land, there be dangers enow in every place: therefore by Sea and Land, in every place, let us humbly serve, and confidently trust in him.

One would thinke, that the terrours of the Ocean, the wonders of God in the deep, ¹should melt their very soule, and humble them. Where the winds domineere, and the waves roare, volvuntur ut aequora montes: where they lye, Digitis à morte remoti Qua•uor aut septem: Where no mercy is to be hoped. Qui nescit orare, discat navigare: Hee that hath not learned to pray, let him learne to faile. Yes, haply they will pray and crie too, while the tempest beats, cast up their eyes, and send their prayers to the offended heavens: but is not their pietie blowne over with their misery? Yes, the GOD of their Supplications, is on Land become the object of their blasphemies: and they seldome thinke of him, but when they borrow his Name to sweare by. The LORD is our preserver by Sea and Land, there be dangers enow in every place: therefore by Sea and Land, in every place, let us humbly serve, and confidently trust in him.
