For God brought not his people into Egypt, and from thence through the Red Sea to the intent they should perish, but that he in them should show a most glorious deliverance: Neither sent Christ his Apostles into the middest of the Sea, and suffering the storm to assault them and their Ship, to the intent they should there perish, but because he would the more have his great goodness towards them felt and perceived in so mightily delivering them out of the fear of perishing, giving us thereby an example that he would do the like to us, if we abide constant in our profession and saith, with-drawing our selves from superstition and idolatry. We gave you warning of these days long ago: For the reverence of Christs Blood let these words be noted; The same Truth that spake before of these dolorous days, 1forespake also the everlasting joy prepared for such as should continue to the end. The trouble is come; O dear brethren look for the comfort, and (after the example of the Apostle) abide in resisting this vehement storm a little space.
