 there was no time misspent, no man idle, nor any man's labour ill-bestowed or in vain. So that in short time this galley was ready trimmed up. Whereinto every man leaped with haste, hoisting up the sails lustily: yielding themselves to His mercy in whose hands are both wind and weather.

Now is this galley afloat, and out of the safety of the road. Now have the two castles full power upon the galley. Now is there no remedy but sink. How can it be avoided?

And verily I think their god was amazed thereat, it could not be but he must blush for shame; he can speak never a word for dulness, much less can he help them in such an extremity. Well, howsoever it is, he is very much to blame to suffer them to receive such a gibe. But howsoever their god behaved himself, our GOD showed Himself a GOD indeed, and that
