True, Answ. in your fishing and angling, you have an eye unto the cork; but in Christs fishing there is another cork that you are to have an eye unto; Christ commands to believe. Master (say they) We have fished all night, and caught nothing; nevertheless at thy command we will cast in again. 1The same God that hath commanded you to keep the ten Commandments, commands you to believe when all means fail.
