Jonah would not that this should be understood of the shipmen: but they speak this, because they understand that God doth govern the world with righteous judgement, although secrete be his counsels, and can not in our capacities be comprehended. Because therefore they were of this […] ⟨image 35⟩to worship God. But in this place, that which is added, doth show that the manner of speaking is more restrained: for there is added, A great fear. Therefore Jonah signified that the Mariners and other Passengers were touched not only with a certain fear of God, but also perceived the God of Israel to be the chief king of heaven and earth, and to hold all things in his hand and Empery. Neither is it any doubt but that this fear so brought them to true knowledge, that they perceived that they were mocked before, and that whatsoever the world hath feigned, to be a mere toy and deceit. And that the Gods made by the minds of men are nothing else then mere Idols. We understand now the mind of Jonah.
Ionas would not that this shoulde be vnderstoode of the shipmen: but they speake this, because they vnderstande that God doth gouerne the world with righteous iudgement, although secrete be his counsayles, and can not in our capacities be comprehended. Because therefore they were of this 〈…〉 ⟨image 35⟩to worshippe God. But in this place, that which is added, doth shewe that the manner of speaking is more restrained: for there is added, A great feare. Therefore Ionas signified that the Mariners and other Passengers were touched not onelie with a certaine feare of God, but also perceyued the God of Israel to be the chiefe king of heauen and earth, and to holde all thinges in his hande and Imperie. Neyther is it any doubte but that this feare so brought them to true knowledge, that they perceyued that they were mocked before, and that whatsoeuer the worlde hath faygned, to be a méere toye and deceypte. And that the Gods made by the mindes of men are nothinge else then méere Idolles. We vnderstande nowe the mynde of Ionas.
