Jonah. 1. 3. 4. 5. 3 But Jonah rose up to fly to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to Japho, and he found a ship going to Tarshish, so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, that he might go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. 4 But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken. 5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his God, and cast the wares out that were in the ship to lighten it thereof: but Jonah was gone down into the side of the ship, and he lay down and was fast asleep. ⟨p. 119⟩But Jonah rose up to fly unto Tarshish from the presence, &c.

The last time you heard how the righteous fall, and now no less then a Prophet, yea such a Prophet as was the figure of Christ. But who would have thought that such a Prophet should fly from the Lord, yea and that when he should do him most service, who counteth that wickedness now, that he never thought off while he was among the wicked? A fearful example, therefore let him that thinks he standeth, take heed lest he fall, for the way is slippery wherein we are to walk. When thou rememberest the fall of the Prophet, then consider that thou art much weaker then a Prophet, and therefore the easier to be encountered and overthrown, wherefore thou art likely to have a more grievous fall, except the Lord do mightily uphold thee, seeing such a one cannot stand in the sight of his so mortal enemy by his own strength.
