When Jonah entered into the ship, he laid him down to sleep, and to take his rest: that is, his conscience was tossed 1between the commandment of God which sent him to Ninine, and his fleshly wisdom that dissuaded, & counselled him the contrary, and at the last prevailed against the commandment, and carried him an other way, as a ship caught between two streams, & as Poets feign the mother of Meleager to be between divers affections: while to avenge her brothers death, she sought to slay her own son. Whereupon for very pain and tediousness he lay down to sleep, for to put the commandment which so gnewe and fret his conscience, out of mind, as the nature of all wicked is, when they have sinned a good, to seek all 2means with riot, revel and pastime, to drive the remembrance of sin out of their thoughts, or as Adam did, to cover their nakedness with aprons of Pope holy works. But God awoke him out of his dream, & set his sins before his face.
When Ionas entred into the shyp, he layd him down to slepe, and to take his rest: that is, his conscience was tossed 1betwene the commaundement of God which sent him to Ninine, and his fleshly wisedome that dissnaded, & counselled him the contrary, and at the last preuailed against the commaundement, and caryed him an other way, as a shyp caught betwene two streames, & as Poetes faine the mother of Meliager to be betwen diuers affections: while to aduenge her brothers death, shee sought to slea her owne sonne. Whereupon for very paine and tediousnes he lay down to slepe, for to put the commaundement which so gnewe and fret his conscience, out of mynde, as the nature of all wicked is, when they haue sinned a good, to seke all 2meanes with riot, reuell and pastime, to driue the remembraūce of sinne out of their thoughtes, or as Adam did, to couer their nakednes with apornes of Pope holy workes. But God awoke him out of his dreame, & set his sinnes before his face.
