Jonah 1. 5. 6. 7. 5 But Jonah went down into the sides of the ship, and he lay down and was fast a sleep. 6 Then the ship-master came unto him and said, what meanest thou ô sleeper? arise and call upon thy God, if so be he vvill think upon us that we perish not. 7 And they said every man to his fellow, come let us cast lots, that we may know for whose sake this evil is come upon us: so they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.

They prayed unto their gods, & their gods were now deaf whiles they were tossed, and Jonah is gone to sleep when he should have been better ⟨p. 144⟩occupied: we come hither to hear the word, and here we fall a sleep, but it were far better we were away, for we sleep when we should hear, and so we sleep in sin: therefore let them now give ear that are a sleep, and think that the shipmaster doth jog us by the elbow as he did Jonah. Now we are come to Jonah his sleeping; not that we should sleep with him, but by his sleeping to be warned of our security, and we shall see him waked, that we may learn to wake with him. By Jonah his sleeping we see the nature of all the sons of Adam, when they listen to the serpent they are like changelings. For when they forget God and his word, and bid conscience adieu, they sleep in sin, and sleep to death like one sick of the lethargy.

THey prayed vnto their gods, & their gods were now deafe whiles they were tossed, and Ionah is gone to sleepe when he should haue bene better
