2. We have their Dangers as well as Endeavours. 1. It is expressed in the violence of the Tempest; they were exceedingly ⟨p. 92⟩tossed with a Tempest. 2. It was dark weather, neither Sun nor Stars appeared, which used to be great comforts and helps to poor men at Sea. 3. Their Danger is expressed in this, they were brought to the brink of the black pit of Despair; all Hope now was taken away. O what a sad distressed condition was this! their Hope, which is called the Anchor of the Soul, yea which is the Sheet-Anchor of the Soul, was lost; they gave all their lives over for gone and lost: And oh, what could now a company of men do that had lost their Hopes and Hearts?1 could these that had lost their Hopes find their hands? they were now saying, as the Jews did in their Captivity, Our Hope is lost, we are cut off for our parts.
