THe Fishermans Net is so framed,* 1.1 that there are leaden waights to make it sink at the bottom, and Corks to make it swim on the top: And thus it is that the leaden, heavy weight of poverty and wordly cr••sses keep the poor man down, and make him ready to sink under the burthen, were it not for the comfortable promises of the Gospel that buoy up his confidence, and make him swim, and hold up his head above all opposition whatsoever.
Ioh. Prestons Serm. at Lin∣colns-Inn, 16••6
