To the subuersion of these maleuolent edifices, there came three Ships, the one of them beeing called Good-will, in whom Loyaltie was Captain, and Zeale was Master.

The second ship was named the True-loue, in whom Trust was Captaine, and Perseuerance was Master.

The third ship was called Assurance, in whom Circumspection was Captaine, and Prouidence the Maister.
