Ships.
SHips in which men are carryed in safety tho∣rough the raging seas, shoulde make vs re∣member Gods heauy iudgement vpon the world in drowning it for sinne,* 1.1 and to giue him thankes for his great mercy, that he would not vtterly de∣stroy mankind, but taught him to frame the firste ship that euer was, for the safegarde of him selfe and his family. As a ship beeing neuer so great and huge, is turned about with a very small rud∣der, whither so euer it please the maister of the ship to direct it, so the the tongue though it be a small member,* 1.2 oftentimes ouer-ruleth the whole body, and setteth it out of course.
