Therefore it is said, that God sent out a great wind, so that there was a mighty tempest, that sin might have the foil, and God the victory.

Therefore it is said, that God sent out a great winde, so that there was a mighty tempest, that sinne might haue the foile, and God the victorie.

He that sails to Tarshish, or whether he is forbidden ⟨image 3⟩to go, would have as good wind as he that sails to Nineveh, or whither he is commanded to go. But he that doth one thing for another, shall receive one thing for another, as Ahab did, who hoped according to the saying of four hundred false Prophets, to go up and prosper but he went up and perished. As surely as Jonah thought to arrive at Tarshish, so surely the Spaniards thought to arrive in England: but as Jonahs company wondered at this tempest, so at these Spaniards destruction, their fellows at home wondered, yea were astonied, how their invincible power could be destroyed. But God is strong enough for them that kick against him, and disdaineth to be crossed of dust and ashes.

Hee that sayles to Tharshish, or whether hee is forbidden ⟨image 3⟩to goe, would haue as good wind as hee that sayles to Niniuie, or whither hee is commanded to goe. But he that doth one thing for another, shall receiue one thing for another, as Achab did, who hoped according to the saying of foure hundred false Prophets, to goe vp and prosper but hee went vp and perished. As surely as Ionah thought to arriue at Tarshish, so surely the Spaniards thought to arriue in England: but as Ionahs companie wondred at this tempest, so at these Spainards destruction, their fellowes at home wondred, yea were astonied, how their inuincible power could bee destroyed. But God is strong enough for them that kicke against him, and disdaineth to bee crossed of dust and ashes.
