February the 26th. 1676/7.
Somewhat before Break of Day, I did
see two Persons, that were known to me,
in a Boat without Oars, as upon a Sea.
Upon a suddain a great Wave of Water
broke in upon them, whereupon the Boat
began to sink: upon which the one un∣stripped
himself to swim to save his Life;
and seeing it in absolute Peril leaped out;
upon which the other with her Cloaths
took hold of his Arm; and thereby
plunged him into the Sea; upon which
I cried out, saying, Lord save him. Upon
which he did rise, getting from that
other, who did take hold upon him.
Then a gallant Ship did him meet, where
on a suddain, I found my self in, and there∣with
great Joy did take in the Person
that swam; but the other could not be
seen. So, after this, we removed away
with quick sayl to the desired Haven. Af∣ter
which, considering this strange Pre∣sentation
to me, what it should signify, I
had only this Word, Take thou up this
Parable and say, How thou sawest Two
in one Bed, the One through great Fa∣vour
taken, the Other left.
