Two sermons, of Jonahs punishmentTwo sermons, of Ionahs punishment

for he will have us to acknowledge that man liveth not by bread only, & a horse is but a vain thing to save a man, and except the Lord keep the city, the watch-man waketh but in vain, no means can help without his blessing, But then he will not have us careless & negligent to use lawful means: for he never or very seldom worketh without means, when the means may be used by us. Danger then we have seen made them to fear, but fear astonished them not, but gathered their wits together, for they used means with wisdom to save themselves. But when the Lord sendeth calamity upon many of the ungodly, they have so guilty a conscience, that whilst they feel the great hand of God, they are even distraught of their wits, and made as it were senseless, that they know not what they do: yea when troubles come, it makes them like a headless Be, which buzzeth about she knows not whither, or like the Swallow, which by compulsion of the wind, flieth backward ⟨image 7⟩and forward till it fall into the Sea: or like Came, whose head was fraught with fears, so that he knew not whither ¹to go, doubting to be slain of every one whom he saw But whatsoever befalleth the child of God, he hath ever matter of consolation, and some moderation of mind to bear it withal, expecting a joyful issue of all, Therefore blessed is he that hath the Lord for his God.

for hee will haue vs to acknowledge that man liueth not by bread onely, & a horse is but a vaine thing to saue a man, and except the Lord keepe the citie, the watch-man waketh but in vaine, no meanes can helpe without his blessing, But then he will not haue vs carelesse & negligent to vse lawful meanes: for hee neuer or very seldome worketh without meanes, whē the meanes may be vsed by vs. Danger thē we haue seen made them to feare, but feare astonished them not, but gathered their wits together, for they vsed means with wisedome to saue themselues. But when the Lord sendeth calamitie vpon many of the vngodly, they haue so guiltie a conscience, that whilest they feele the great hand of God, they are euen distraught of their wits, and madeas it were sencelesse, that they know not what they doe: yea when troubles come, it makes them like a headlesse Bee, which buzzeth about she knowes not whither, or like the Swallow, which by cōpulsion of the wind, flieth backward ⟨image 7⟩
