2. In the sea there be great wonders.1 They that go down to the sea in ships, and do business in great waters. These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. Yet those natural wonders have been tamed by our artificial wonders, ships. Even the Leviathan himself; Out of whose mouth go burning Lamps, 2and sparks of fire. Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a boiling Caldron. Squama squamae coviungitur; the flakes of his flesh are joined together; they are firm in themselves, and cannot be moved. Yet we know, that this huge creature hath been tamed; but the tongue can no man tame, &c.

Yet those naturall wonders have beene tamed by our artificiall wonders, shippes. Even the Leviathan himselfe; Out of whose mouth goe burning Lampes, 2and sparkes of fire. Out of his nosthrils goeth smoke, as out of a boyling Caldron. Squama squamae couiungitur; the flakes of his flesh are ioyned together; they are firme in themselves, and cannot bee moved. Yet we know, that this huge creature hath been tamed; but the tongue can no man tame, &c.

3. In the air, the Birds fly high above our reach, yet we have gins to fetch them down. A lure stoops the highest-soaring hawk. Nay, Art makes one foul catch another, for mans delight and benefit. Incredible things, if they were not ordinary. Snares, limetwigges, netes tame them all: even the Pelican in the Desert, and the Eagle amongst the cedars. Thus saith our Apostle, verse 7. Every kind (not every one of every kind, but every kind or nature of all) of beasts, of birds, of serpents, and of things in the Sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of the nature of man: but the Tongue can no man tame, &c.
