Calvin. Now declareth Jonah that he sought lurking holes, that he might convey him self from the obedience of God: ⟨image 14⟩not that he deceived him self with so manifest madness, as though he should not be subject unto God, if he were on the other side the Sea: but he would as it were flee the light of this present life, when he went into a strange Region. Neither is it any doubt, but that he was not only of a troubled mind, but plainly astonied, when he undertook such a devise.
Caluine. NOwe declareth Ionas that he sought lurking hooles, that he might conueigh him selfe from the obedience of God: ⟨image 14⟩not that he deceyued him selfe with so manifest madnesse, as though he shoulde not be subiect vnto God, if he were on the other syde the Sea: but he woulde as it were flée the lyght of this present lyfe, when he went into a straunge Region. Neyther is it any doubte, but that he was not onely of a troubled minde, but plainelie astonied, when he vndertooke such a deuise.
