iThese seas were narrow and strait, being but a few miles over, and the night was dark, and had they had a wind for them, it might have hazarded them, and dashed them against the rocks: and therefore it was less for their danger, that the winds were contrary, though it was more for their exercise.

It is better to be in a tempest upon the midst of the sea, then to have too strong a gale for us to drive us on the shore. A mans harbour may sometimes be more ⟨p. 93⟩dangerous then the sea. A man may as well come too soon into his harbour, as be kept too long upon the sea; many have been lost at harbour, who have been safe at sea. A tempestuous sea is not so dangerous, as an unsafe harbour. It speaks thus much.
