The Sea also serveth for mans use: for men do their business in these great waters, Psalm 107. 23. when they go down to the Sea in Ships, & the way of a Ship in the middest of the Sea, is one of the four things which are too wonderful for us to reach to, Prou. 30, 19. Besides, there are great treasures and riches in the Sea, which God hath given unto man, Psal. 104. 25. for men come to have right to the fishes of the Sea by grant from God in the beginning of the world, Gen. 1. 26. & 9. 2. And besides, the abundance which men gather out of the Seas that way, they are enriched by the Treasures hid in the sands, such as are either Pearls or precious stones, or some kinds of creatures, Deut. 31. 19. And it is noted as a great judgement, to take away the Fishes of the Sea from man, Hos. 4. 3. And further, when God is angry with man, he can call for the waters of the Sea, and pour them on the face of the earth, Amos 5. 8.
The Sea also serueth for mans vse: for men doe their businesse in these great waters, Psalme 107. 23. when they goe downe to the Sea in Ships, & the way of a Ship in the middest of the Sea, is one of the foure things which are too wonderfull for vs to reach to, Prou. 30, 19. Besides, there are great treasures and riches in the Sea, which God hath giuen vnto man, Psal. 104. 25. for men come to haue right to the fishes of the Sea by grant from God in the beginning of the world,
