The Apostle maketh mention of either grief in the second to the Corinthians the .7. chapter. And surely this sorrow and mourning is nothing else, but a description and a shadowing of a most certain and greatest destruction, and that of men ungodly.

The which is repeated of the merchants and sailors.
