[ 715] Hope well, and have well.

THe Mariners sayling with S. Paul,* 1.1 bare up bravely against the Tempest, whilst either Art or Industry could be friend them; finding both to fail, and that they could not any long bear up to the wind, they even let the Ship drive. Thus many have endeavoured in these distempered times, to hold up their spirits, and to steere them steddily:* 1.2 happy Peace was the Port whereat they desired to arrive; but now since the storm grew too sturdy for the Pilot, all the skill they will hereaf∣ter use, is no skill at all, and even let the Ship sayl whither the wind will send it, but with the hope and comfort,* 1.3 that the most weather-beaten Vessel cannot properly be seized on for a wrack, which hath any quick cattel remaining therein;* 1.4 and their spirits are not as yet for feited to dispair, having one lively spark of hope in their hearts, because God is even where he was before.
