In Jonah his sleeping we note and observe ¹two things. The first is, that when we think our selves most at rest, then we are in greatest danger, when the shipwreck is at hand, then Jonah is a sleep, when Herod was vaunting, then he was stricken, when Nebuchadnezzar was in his greatest pride, then he was turned out, when Balthasar was banqueting, the hand wrote his con damnation, when the rich man said unto his soul, thou hast enough, then his soul was taken from him and his goods also, when the Philistines were sporting, then the roof fell; and thus wrath overtaketh sinners when ⟨p. 148⟩they least think of it, like a Leopard which is taken while he sleepeth, or a bird when she singeth, therefore suspect thy pleasures like a bait.
