1 First, how high this Jericho is built, and how strongly it is fenced, and yet how easily it is overthrown. 2 How vainly, and how miserably they loose their labour, that seek by any means to restore it. 3 What good remedies may be devised, that this Jericho be not restored again.

They that go down to the sea in ships, and occupy by the great waters, they see the 1works of the lord, & his wonders in the deep. For God is marvellous in the surges and tempests of the Sea: he is marvellous in the firmament of Heaven: but much more marvellous is he in the surges and stormy Tempests of his Church. Here may we behold the work of his hands. This is the shop of his power, of his wisdom, of his light, and truth, and righteousness, and patience, and mercy. Here may we see the children of light, and the children of darkness: the vessels of honour, and the vessels of shame: ⟨image 10⟩the assaults of falsehood, and the glory and victory of truth. Here shall we see how God leadeth even into Hell, and yet bringeth safely back: how he killeth, and yet reviveth: how he refuseth the full, and feedeth the hungry: how he is the ruin of many, and the resurrection of many. Here may we see the wonderful ways, and the unsearchable judgments of GOD. It is a place full of terror, and a place full of all comfort. In respect hereof the Prophet David saith, O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful is thy name in all the world?
