5. Your dangers at Sea are such as many thousands have perished in; how many ⟨p. 137⟩have gone to Sea, that never returned more? that have been swallowed up in the belly of the great Deeps?

How many have lost their lives? how many have lost their limbs? and yet in such dangers God hath brought you off; this is never to be forgotten.
