Mariners living in the Sea, almost as fishes, having the ⟨image 4⟩waters as their necessariest element, are commonly men void of fear, venturous, and contemners of danger. Yet now seeing the tempest so vehement on a sudden, that their goodly and tall ship was tossed almost to a cock boat, and cracked so, that it was like to be torn all to pieces, and thereby were fully persuaded it was no common nor ordinary storm, but a revenging tempest, for some extraordinary cause, sent out upon them by some great power provoked: now they are afraid, they tremble for fear, like women that shrink at every stir in the Wherry, and like little children when they are frighted, least their ship break or leak, and so sink, and they loose their goods their ship, their lives and all.

Now these nought-fearing fellows, these high stomached men, which desire danger are brought down by danger, fear and quake like a young soldier which starteth at the sound of a Gun.
