V. An ill Match.

DIvine Providence is remarkable in ordering, that a Fog and a Tem∣pest never did, nor can, meet together in nature. For as soon as a Fogg is fixed, the Tempest is allaid; and as soon, as a Tempest doth arise, the Fogg is dispersed. This is a great mercy, for, otherwise such small vessels, as boats and barges, which want the conduct of the Card and Compass, would irrecoverably be lost.

How sad then is the condition of many Sectaries in our age; which in the same instant have a Fogg of igno∣rance in their judgments, and a Tempest of violence in their affections, being too blind to go right, and yet too active to stand still.
