We have heard of the cause and greatness of this tempest, the effects follow, whereby the greatness of it is the better expressed. First in the ship, then in the Mariners.
Wee haue heard of the cause and greatnesse of this tempest, the effects follow, whereby the greatnesse of it is the better exprest. First in the ship, then in the Mariners.
The ship was like to be broken.
The ship was fair and goodly, so strong that it might have encountered with instruments of war, and so sure made that it might have endured great tempests, and made many voyages. Yet now with one tempest, and at one voyage, it was so deformed, so weakened, in such a taking, that it was like to be shivered in pieces: and all because Jonah was in it. Such strife is always betwixt Gods wrath, and mans disobedience. When Gods word will not turn us, Gods winds, and other instruments of his wrath 1must threaten to overturn us.
The ship was faire and goodly, so strong that it might haue encountred with instruments of warre, and so sure made that it might haue endured great tempestes, and made manie voyages. Yet now with one tempest, and at one voyage, it was so deformed, so weakned, in such a taking, that it was like to bee shiuered in pieces: and all because Ionah was in it. Such strife is alwayes betwixt Gods wrath, and mans disobedience. When Gods word will not turne vs, Gods winds, and other instruments of his wrath 1must threaten to ouerturne vs.
