Sermons.
1 Many men may be said to be Sermon-sick, as there are some said to be Sea-sick: for1 as they that are Sea-sick, for the time of their seafaring, so long as they be on the water are feeble stomacked, faint hearted, ever ready to die: and yet arriving on the land, being gotten out of the ship, and having paused some little time, do begin to forget their late troubles, and to recover their former strength again: So many, so long as they are in the Church hearing, and are tossed by the power of the word, their hearts are sick, their consciences melt, they are much troubled: but when once the voice ceaseth, and they are out of the Church doors, and have acquainted themselves with the air of the world, they forget what they heard, and wherewith they were moved, and so retire to their former life again.
