And so much did Jonah likewise, and more then that, (though the Lord more spared, and miraculously preserved him) for when the lot convicted him to be the man,1 for whose sake that boisterous and dangerous storm was raised, himself passed sentence of death and drowning upon himself, and required the heathen mariners to do execution.

Reproof of them which invert this good and useful ordinance, Use. and make it serve for evil and hurtful purposes, as they do, that give themselves to carding and dyeing. Do they aim at this, that every one, as near as may be, shall have and hold his own? or do they not adventure every one the loss of his own unthriftily, to get an other mans, though it were his whole patrimony, without due consideration, unrighteously? Is this an even and equal, and indifferent form of making partition? And how well they be content to depart with that which the dice doth allot them to lose, and how much peace is spread among them, and how great contention• are pacified, may appear by their frownings, and frettings, when their full bags have emptied their stomachs into their fellows pockets, yea by their brawling, swearing, and cursing, and many times by their challenges, quarrels, and combats.
