1. Learn we here how acceptable it is to God, that we thankfully congratulate our Mercies. No Music like a sound of Trumpets off the Waters: so, O what sweet Music doth it make in God's Ears, that you thankfully record Sea-Mercies, and Sea-Deliverances; this is Music of the Waters; this makes Melody in God's Ears.

O that Men would offer the Sacrifice of Praise; this is the found of Trumpets you should carry to Sea with you, outward bound, and homeward bound.
