The generall Observation of Fish.
How many thousands of Millions of those under water, sea-Inhabitants, in all Coasts of the world preach to the sonnes of men on shore, to adore their glorious Maker, by pre∣senting themselves to Him as themselves (in a manner) present their lives from the wild Ocean, to the very doores of men, their fel∣low creatures in New England.
More Particular.
What Habacuck once spake, mine eyesHave often seene most true,The greater fishes devoure the lesse,And cruelly pursue.
Forcing them though Coves and Creekes,To leape on driest sand,To gaspe on earthie element, or dieBy wildest Indians hand.
Christs little ones must hunted beDevour'd; yet rise as Hee.And eate up those which now a whileTheir fierce devourers be.
