Use 2. Is it so that we are to Remember our Sea-dangers and deliverances? then it is a word of Exhortation; be exhorted then to call to mind, and keep in mind, what God hath done for you; and in this Exhortation I address my self to Sea-faring men, whose lives are a course and series of Wonders in their frequent Salvations and Preservations, (witness this Treatise) as you see the wonders of God in the Deeps, (viz.) The wonders of his Creation, so do you see the wonders of his Salvation: ⟨p. 132⟩How often may Wonderful be Written upon the Head of Salvations that you are every Voyage receiving from God? you never go out, and come home, but God works Wonderfully, and appears Wonderfully for you; Is not he a Wonder-working-God for you every Voyage?

The Exhortation is to call to mind, and keep in mind, to Record and Register your Dangers and Deliverances, and not to do as Israel is said to do, who soon forgot his Works. How often doth God bring in this sin of theirs in one Psalm? They forgot his works, and the wonders he had showed them, Psal. 106. 13.
