As the swift ships.1
- 1[Greek or Hebrew] Navis ab [Greek or Hebrew]〈non-Latin alphabet〉 Navis ab 〈non-Latin alphabet〉
Not only as the ships, but as the swift ships. A ship is a fabric ⟨p. 338⟩for the sea,1 a house upon the sea, a moveable house; and as it moveth variably; so it moveth swiftly: The inconstancy of the winds makes the motion of the ship unconstant; and the strength of the winds makes the motion of the ship swift. So that to say, His days passed as a ship, is an aggravation of their sudden passage. A ship passeth without any stop from it self: The ship needs not stay to bait, to sleep or rest while it is upon it's journey; whatsoever they do who are within the ship, the ship moves on, if they prepare it for motion.
