Here also we may see the difference between the faithful and Infidels: for Call upon thy God, saith the shipmaster and the rest.

The Mariners bid Jonah pray to his God in their behalf: but Jonah saith not to the Mariners, pray to your gods in my behalf. And this is also manifest, that a Papist will say unto a Protestant, and one that lives well, Pray for me: ⟨p. 109⟩but a Protestant if he be any thing zealous, will not say unto a Papist, Pray thou for me: knowing that when a Papist doth pray, he doth it to Idols, Saints or Angels, or at least without faith, and therefore their prayers are abominable in the sight of God, and therefore they will not bid them do it because they will not do evil, to the intent that good may come of it: whereby it is manifest, that our Religion is the true Religion, our Adversaries themselves being judges. ⟨p. 110⟩And so Pharaoh, said to Moses pray for me: but Moses said not to Pharaoh, pray for me, Exod. 18. 27. &c. Saul said to Samuel, pray thou for me: but Samuel said not to Saul, pray thou for me, 1 Sam. 15. 25. therefore the Mariners had need of Jonah to pray for them: but Jonah had no need of ignorant Idolaters to pray for him. And why should not all pray to Jonahs God, and Pharaoh pray to Moses God, seeing God hath said, Call upon me in trouble and I will hear thee? Call ⟨p. 111⟩upon thy God (say they) when they cried and saw no help, they distrust their gods, they thought they would not help: indeed they could not: therefore they ran to another whom they knew not, hoping to be helped by him, because they thought some god there was that could do it. So the Papists run from one god to another, from S. Dominick to S. Francis, and why should they run from S. Dominick to S. Francis, but that they mistrusted Dominick?
