Mostly attested by the persons themselves. Also The seaman's preacher, being a sermon on the right improvement of such mercies.

3. We have their Deliverance and Preservation, coming in at such a time and season as this was; now that they are brought to an extremity, God makes it his opportunity; and now that all hope ⟨p. 114⟩of being saved is taken away, salvation will be most seasonable: and now the Angel appears to Paul, and tells him, all their lives are ensured, only the ship shall be lost.
Observations are these: 1. Dangers and Deliverances are to be carefully recorded and remembered; therefore Paul takes an account of both, here in this Voyage. 2. Salvations and Deliverances many times are not sent, until persons be left hopeless in themselves.

I shall speak a little to both these upon this present occasion, that what you read here, may be remarked and remembered.
