1. Search out the cause, why God hath obstructed our promising, and hopeful beginnings. Is there not some Jonah that lieth under Deck as yet asleep, some sin unseen, unhumbled for? Is there not some old sins, that God comes now to reckon for? old sins raise new storms; former sins a present tempest. See what sin is the cause, the Jews in every judgement that was inflicted on them, did use to say that God weighed out an ounce of the golden Calf to them.
