Psalme 104. 24. 25. 26.

O Lord how manifold are thy Workes! in Wisedome hast thou made them all; the Earth is full of thy Riches. So is this great and wide SEA, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small & great beasts. There goe the Shippes; there is that Leviathan thou hast made to play therein.

Psal. 77. 19.

Thy way is in the SEA, and thy path in the GREAT WATERS, and thy footesteps are not knowne.

Isaiah 43. 1. 2. 3. 5. 6.

But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee O Israel; Feare not, for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy Name, thou art mine. When thou passest through the WATERS I will be with thee, and through the RIVERS, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire thou shalt not be burnt, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour, &c.

Psalme 66. 12.

Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through FIRE and through WATER, but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
