A90365 Pelagos. Nec inter vivos, nec inter mortuos, neither amongst the living, nor amongst the dead. Or, An improvement of the sea, upon the nine nautical verses in the 107. Psalm; wherein is handled I. The several, great, and many hazzards, that mariners do meet withall, in stormy and tempestuous seas. II. Their many, several, miraculous, and stupendious deliverances out of all their helpless, and shiftless distressess [sic]. III. A very full, and delightful description of all those many various, and multitudinous objects, which they behold in their travels (through the Lords Creation) both on sea, in sea, and on land. viz. all sorts and kinds of fish, foul, and beasts, whether wilde, or tame; all sorts of trees, and fruits; all sorts of people, cities, towns, and countries; with many profitable, and useful rules, and instructions for them that use the seas. / By Daniel Pell, preacher of the Word.

all doubt and controversie even take shipping and make trial of it Let the waters saith God bee gathered together and at his word they fled and tarried not for another word of command but away they ran roaring and raging off the Land which they held in their possession till God gave them Commission to give it up to mankinde and the creatures the Lord intended to live in it which were choyser inhabitants and so ever since that word of Command they have continued in those Caves Pits Depths Cells and bottomless receptacles which God out of wisdome digged and delved for them Psal 104.9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over that they turn not again to cover the earth 2. And that in order it will appear that they may well bee called great What Writers say of the Jasper may better be said of the Seas that its easier to admire them than to declare them in and upon a fourfold account 1. For Latitude 2. Longitude 3. Profundity 4. Potency 1. Respectus latitudinis Every string in Davids Harp warbles out the immense latitude of the Seas In Psal 104.25 26. You may behold David as one amazed at the beholding of the great works of God in the deeps So is this great and wide Sea wherein are things creeping innumerable both small and great beasts There go the ships there is that Leviathan whom thou hast made to play therein They are called in this Psalm both great and wide What Policritus writes of a certain water in Sicily the same will I write upon the Superficies of the Seas Quam si quis irgrediatur in latum extenditur into which the deeper a man wades the larger it doth extend in self and the further he goes into it the further he may Some call it into question and debate whether the Sea or the Land be greater and the controversie cannot well be decided By the Maps of the world it is told us that some of the Southern parts in the world are not yet known and discovered which they title at this day by the name of Terra Australis nondum cognita and whether it be Sea or whether it be Land it is not yet known These are two words if but well considered which comprehend such vast dimensions as is not easily demonstrable by reason of that roomy and spatious magnitude that they are of Some wee call the narrow Seas because Lands and Countries are not far distant from each other In the Straights the Sea carries the name of Mediterranean because it parts Europe and Africa which are but a very small run betwixt each other But after one is out of the Straights-mouth or the Mediterranean they may in sailing Westward travel long enough ere they see any land again And after that ships get out of our narrow Seas in England here they may sail many hundreds of Leagues ere they come within the sight of land again The Seas that are betwixt England and France is but a very narrow cut and also betwixt it and Holland and betwixt England and Denmark Norway Jutland and Zealand c. in comparison what other Seas bee both Westward Southward Northward Some to prove that the Earth is far greater than the Sea alledg that in Esd 6.42 that God gathered the waters from off the seventh part of the earth and dried up the six other parts and if this Scripture were Canonical and of authority in the Church of God we might beleeve it But it is not my judgement to think that the Land is greater than the Seas 2. Respect a longitudinis What an unspeakable and almost incredible way may one sail directly end-wayes in the Seas from the East into the West and from the North into the South Of all visible latitudes indeed the East and the West are the largest What a vast longitude is that which our shipping run when they go out of the East into the West the North star and the Septentrional spangles are run down into the Sea out of their sight long before they come within sight of the Indies and at their return back when they come to such an elevation as once to behold the peepings of it forth out of the Sea which doth ask them a long time sailing before they can bring themselves within the sight of it how cheerful are they in their spirits of their advancings England-ward The Mariner makes many a look in his solitary and nocturnal Navigations upon the heavens for the appearance of this Star and when once his eye beholds it his first sight of it is as if it riss out of the water or as the rising of the Sun in a Winter or Summers morning which rises so low to outward appearance as if it had its surrection out of the earth After the same manner doth the North star to them which go far down into the Seas as if it riss out of the waters 3. Respectu profunditatis The salt waters are of such an unfadomable and intangible depth and abyss in many parts that no bottome is to bee found though one would tyre themselves with Line and Lead to make the trial of it I have heard it told again and again by some of the civilest and soberest of Sea-men that they have known of the Dutches who are very great and expert Mariners to have taken with them a small vessels loading of Line to sound the Seas in some of the Southern parts I have read of one that fell almost into an irrecoverable swound at the sight of seeing one sounding of the Seas in the ship he sailed in beholding such an infinite length of Line run thorow his hands he looked like a dead man on it when he apprehended what dangerous depths he sailed over and when he came to himself he cried out Mira profunditas and though they have painfully rafled out all that great and mighty Clew consisting of many thousands of Fathoms insomuch that they have been a whole day in letting down of Line and Lead and haling up yet not touched the bottome of it What truth there may bee in this report I know not But without all controversie the Sea is of an unkennable depth Some that are of the wisest and prudentest of Sea-men are of this judgement that the Seas in some parts are twenty thirty yea forty miles in depth from the very top upon which ships swim unto the very bottome Of such depth are the Seas after our ships get out of the Channel Southward that there is no anchoring for them because the Seas are far deeper than their Cables are in length 4. Respectu potentiae I will follow the Musicioners method in the handling of this for hee that playes upon the Harp strikes not upon one string but upon all and that is it that makes the Musick The great waters then are of such power force and strength when the winds lift them up into swelling Hills and pyramidical Mountains that they
ship up and down in the Seas from Land to Land or Port to Port is not fit to put into the place of government I remember a pretty passage of one of this sort who had got good friends to present his name and speak very well in his behalf at the Admiralty Court by whose means he got his foot into the stirrop of a Wooden Horse and rid as proudly over the waves and the bouncing billows of the Sea as any Commander in the salt waters whatsoever but wanting skill to sit this Horse and art to keep the Reins in his hand and withall which was the main a good Head-piece the Horse stumbled in the River of Thames and threw the Captain out of the Saddle Will and pleasure is the fools Card which he steers by all the Voyage and this makes so many ill-governed ill-ordered and ill-tutored ships as there be at this day in the Sea But to come unto particulars there be three things that are too apparent in Sea Captains 1. Negligence The Merchant sends to you to shelter them by Convoy from the Enemy as the Grapes in Babel did upon a time unto the Vines in Judea as the Jewish Talmud says desiring them to come and overshadow them otherwise the violence of the heat would consume them in such sort as that they should thereby never come unto any maturity But you deal by the Merchant sometimes as the Vines of Judea did by the Vines of Babel even let them perish in the Seas through negligence They that bear command should not yield to their men in their cousenage and fraudulency but say as Scipio said unto the Harlot when offered him Vellem si non Imperator I would if I were not Captain 2. Injustice 3. Vnfitness 1. Negligence Is there not many that have good ships to sail in and great Salary to live upon whose consciences serve them even to do very little service and good for it and had rather lie at an Anchor or with their Noses in a good Harbour than be out at Sea in the preserving of the Merchant and destroying of the enemy And is there not other-some that are as loth to encounter their enemies when they have opportunities for it in the Seas as the Welchman was to fight the Englishman of whom it s said that Her made the challenge and bid the Englishman take what Weapon he would and her would fight with him The battel begun the Englishman ripled her on the knee and her feeling the unkinde salutation of the Englishmans Weapon threw down her Buckler and her Sword and would fight no more What 's the matter now quoth the Englishman What said she Apploot apploot was not her Buckler broad enough but must hit her upon the knee Her will have no more of that What fair winds and opportunities do Commanders many times slip by loytering about the shores and coasts when they should be in the Seas to such let me say Ad rem Rhombum Go to your work go the Countrey maintains you not to idle Some Sea Captains are Thales like who contemplated heaven not for any devotion but to pick some gain out of it seeing by it that there would be some scarcity of Olives c. which he monopolized into his hands sold These fellows would make the world believe that they are godly men indeed this makes for the honour of Religion that these men love the name of it who cannot endure the nature of it Says many a Sea Captain If I be not seemingly religious I shall not attain to any great honour or preferment as the times go I must wear the garb of a Christian outwardly though I disown it inwardly and by this means counterfeit Religion is mads a meer stooping horse of to bring Vermin into authority Look about you do not you see how the Enemy spoils the Merchant 2. Injustice Remember that a little with right is better than great revenues without right Psal 37.16 Had I a voice of Brasse to make every Captain in the Sea to hear me I would tell them and all that use the Seas That Injustice will in time undo them and draw upon their heads the heavy severe and impatible wrath of God and throw them out of their ships and livelyhoods Jeremiah 9.19 How are we spoiled we are greatly confounded our dwellings have cast us out Unrighteous doings in the States ships will hurl Commanders out of them and make them stink in the nostrils of all that shall behold them You Captains of the Seas Look but upon your cogging now as it will appear hereafter look but upon your assigning of false and unjust Accompts now as they will appear hereafter and then tell me how you like it What shall a Boatswain a Gunner a Purser or a Carpenter intangle me to lie for them that they may pocket up the States goods God forbid What shall a Pursers maintaining of your Tables with fresh victuals The States of England values not the Sea Captain if once they find him but in some grosse insufferable error as there is righteousness in so doing 7 years service is an usual proverb amongst the Sailors is not looked on if but found in one hours displeasure So that the Sea Captain in one case is not unlike to the sumpter-horse who does good service carries the trunks all day but at night his treasure is taken from him and himself turned into a dirty foul stable Know you not the application of this engage and introduce you to give them the liberty to to be false God forbid that such doings should be found in my hand And yet where is that Great Cabbin in any or in all the Ships of England but there be these doings in it This may be for a time lucrum in crumena but in the end it will prove damna conscientiae 3. Vnfitness I would propound this question Whether or no there be not many in command that would make better Masters for navigating of ships too and again than of commanding guiding governing or fighting of them The great Salary that they have for their service is the thing they look at as to the ordering and well regulating of those many spirits that be under their command they know not what course to take in the steering of them Pro. 14.1 Solomon tells you that the wise woman looks upon it as her greatest policy to build her house and having building-materials both of wisdome understanding and instruction the building work went forward and the superstructure of it was most rare And so would you do too if you had but those brains and for want of them you bring many times an old house over your ears Seamen might be reclaimed reformed and reduced unto better carriage order and deportment than there is amongst them were there but wisdome prudence and a zeal for God in you to act and bestir your selves amongst them Your partial and ill managing of
your Commands in the ships you are in will in process of time hurl you out When Davids house was out of order he was forced to flie 2 Sam. 15. Ill orders in Commanders is the onely way to bring them unto wrack But that I may passe on I 'll make it my businesse with very much brevity to lay down in some particulars the great Necessity of these following endowments to be in all that either do or would go Captains and Commanders either at Sea or Land There be five things then requisite in a Commander 1. Wisdom 2. Valour 3. Authority 4. Piety 5. Circumspection And these when opened like Spices when they are pounded will afford a fragrant savour 1. Wisdom Eccl. 10.10 Wisdom is profitable to direct If this be but wanting in him that is in command I may resemble him to a ship that lies tumbling in the Sea without Ballast Socrates at a banquet fell at odds with one of his familiars and openly rebuked him but Plato observing of it could not hold but said How much better had this bin spoken privately Call your men into your Cabbins and there tell them their faults and not upon the open deck this would win more than you are aware of or to a bad Helmsman at Sea who makes most lamentable steerage of it and though the point or the course he is to steer by lies before his nose yet cannot keep the ship up unto it What one said of a goodly and personable Ambassadour that came once over out of a Forein Nation into England I may say of the Sea-Captains and Commanders When the Nobleman was ask'd how he liked him his answer was That he was a very proper portly and comely man I but how do you like and approve of his head-piece His answer then was very plain That tall men were like to houses of four or five stories high wherein the uppermost room is evermore worst furnished The applicable part of this is this in short If the uppermost room of a Captains head be not well tempered and well laid in with the materials of wisdom prudence and discretion there will be most ridiculous deportment in the ship he goes in 2. Valour The Seamans eye is much upon the Captains behaviour It s a true saying that Sol spectatorem nisi cum deficit non habet and that Nemo observat Lunam nisi laborantem Every eye will gaze upon the Sun when in an Eclipse and every eye will admire the Moon when in her travel Seamen will take notice of you with what courage you face and fight your enemies Sea Captains should resemble Gideon in his speech to his souldiers Judg. 7.17 Look on me and do likewise Some ships carry upon their heads the Lion Rampant washed with gold and some again upon their sterns Some upon their heads is pourtrayed the Unicorn in golden gilt in other some the George on horse-back Some titled the Tyger some the Resolution other some the Dragon to shew of what spirit courage and metal our States captains should be of in the handling of their enemies Captains should stand upon their honours and carry the stoutness and fierceness of Lions in their bosoms when they come to the trial of whom it s said That out of state he scorns to run whilst any looks upon him If I were to give a Captain his warlike Motto indeed I would present him with that of Luthers Cedo Nulli I will yield to no enemy in the Sea I will sink by his side first The sight of a Captains valour in the time of an Engagement is an encouraging Alarm unto all the Seamen to stand to their Arms and their great Guns without which they will have but little stomach to encounter their enemy Plutarch said well when he said that an Army of Harts with a Lion to their Leader was better than an Army of Lions with an Hart to their Leader Put on put on Sea Captains for valour and undauntedness Some of you come far on stern in comparison of that magnanimity that is in others At the great Battel betwixt Scipio and Hannibal ad amnem Ticinam the Roman General made this brave warlike speech in the head of his Army Cum iis est vobis pugnandum quos priore bello terra marique vicistis And I would have Sea Captains to speak unto their Seamen in the like case when come to Engagements You are says he to joyn battel with those whom in the former war you conquered both by Land and Sea What brave Instructions also were those which Agamemnon gave unto Menelaus when the battel was a beginning he commanded him to go into the Graecian Camp to animate them unto fight 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. Run through the Army cry encourage them minde them of their Progenitors how valiant have our forefathers been Had but every Sea Captain this Martial faculty he might soon set on his Seamen under him sit verbo venia to pull the proudest enemy that ever strutted in the Sea to pieces I may say of cowardly Sea Captains what one said of one after a great fight that came to the Camp of Consalvo who was a great Captain both proudly horsed armed Who is this said one and who is this said another It s St. Erinin says one that never appears but after a storm So say Sailors What Frigot's that that never came near us in the fight Captain for these Lads but encouraged would soon do it What a base ignoble and unworthy thing would it be for any States Captain to do as one did when an Enemy was come up with him for to fight him who was but his equivalent both in Guns and Men yet his heart failed him so that he durst neither stay upon quarter-deck nor the lower deck but betook himself to his legs in the view of all his men and hid himself in a secret place which he questioned not but was below the flying of all shot whether great or small And unbethinking of himself that the Charge was his to look to the management of the fight would ever and anon put up his head and ears above the Hatches and ask his men if the Rogue they fought with was firing yes would the Sailors say he is now going to give us his Broad-side have a care of your self stand cleer or he will strike off your head from your body at which words he pulled in his Cowardly skull and lay close a while till the storm was over and by and by he puts up his nose again and peeps out of the ship Has he sayes he not yet done shooting But to proceed 3. Authority Where there is not a putting into execution now and then that Military Power the States has granted them that carry Commands in the Seas it s no marvel if that such Captains meet with so many base sordid and ignoble carriages and demeanors amongst Seamen as they do For want of which
is not onely all neither but hereby where such are either at Sea or Land there may the sooner bee a looking for a curse than a blessing in all their undertakings And again a war that is undertaken upon just and good grounds It is not unlawfull to use the help of those who fight out of a bad intention either out of hatred violence ambition honour or desire of plunder for their bad intention does not violate the righteousness of the cause Is there not many Sea-Captains that fight for nothing in the world but their 10 pound and 15 pound per moneth I may say of Sailors what one said of Law Logick Switsers They may bee hired to fight for any one Sea man Sea-man get better principle And is there not thousands of Sea-men that fight for their 18. shillings per moneth Nay may I not say that they would fight for the Devil would hee but give them better wages than the States do How many thousands bee there of them that are now fighting day by day in one part or other of the world and they know not what they fight for save onely this Saile ship and come pay-day They look not upon the glory of God nor the cause that is in hand against the proud opposers of Christ and his glorious and everlasting Gospel And now I will not deny but that these will serve to goe on in the wars to do Christs work in the world withall though hee hurl the rod into the fire after all is done It is well known in all Histories that the trash and trumpery of the world have evermore gone in the wars and indeed they are the fittest men to lose their lives for the godly and well-minded people in the world cannot well bee spared and should they bee slain the world would sustain great loss in their deaths But now what shall I say of all the wars that are on foot in the world whether in the North or in the East in the South or in the West May I not say that sin has made a man a very hurtful and harmful creature man is not now become hurtful to beasts and beasts to man but one man unto another and one Nation with and to another And this has been so of old and is no new thing still but likely to bee so as long as there is so much of the first Adam in the world both acting and ruling in the sons of men as long as Pride shall bee seen exalted above the grace of Humility Covetousness above Contentedness Lust above Chastity and Enmity above Love and Charity never look for better in the world Man till sinfull was never thus hurtfull Before hee sinned was hee not naked and neither feared nor offered wrong and will not his sinless estate ever bee known by the state of innocency When that lost Image of God comes once to bee recovered again in all men generally and when the Kingdoms of the Earth shall become the Kingdoms of the Lord Jesus Christ then shall there bee peace and quietness in the Earth that one may walk up and down in the world at pleasure but not till then When mankind shall become a lamb then will it bee a glorious age and never till then It is observed that all other creatures save the lamb are armed by natures providence but the lamb is sent into the world naked and un-armed comes into it with neither offensive nor defensive weapons When mankind comes once to receive the glorious Image of the Lord then will there bee no longer this fighting and contentious principle that is in the hearts of most men but they will bee as meek and harmeless as the Dove who in the Greek is called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Sine cornibus non feriens cornibus An hornless creature Phil. 2.15 But now Dii boni what indignities what affronts what pushing with the ten horns and with the little horn spoken of in Scripture When that you see once the Lyons Bears ravening Wolves and Tygers of the world to bee turned into Lambs and their wolvish and Lion-like natures changed and metamorphosed into a Dove-like meekness then may it be said that there is then new Heavens and new Earth and in the interim never look for a cessation of war in the world till there bee some great Gospel-work wrought in the Earth But fourthly That which now follows in order is the consideration of this word Great waters The Spirit of the Lord here takes great delight to put this distinguishing accent upon them and indeed it is a very famous and glorious title that God is pleased to set upon their heads Great waters calling them great in opposition to small Rivulets which the eyes of Inland dwellers are upon It is a well known axiom in Philosophy Set but contraries in the presence of each other Opposita juxta se posita magis elucescunt and the difference is quickly made Therefore in our speaking of the Great waters pray what are the Aquae Stagnantes in a Land and what are the Fontaneae Scaturigines sive Torrentes sive Fluvii maximi What are the great Rivers or the standing pools and running torrents of a Land in comparison to the great and wide Ocean As vast a disproportion and dissimilitude is there betwixt them as there is betwixt the shining Sun and a twinckling star or betwixt the massy Elephant and the little bodied Mouse The Spirit of the Lord titles them Great waters and to speak re vera Legere non intelligere est negligere in re tamen seria really they are so as I shall by and by declare upon several accompts They who have never seen the Seas nor ever sailed in them and upon them they cannot credit their magnitude latitude and longitude and when they read over that 1 Chap. Gen. 9. where God said Let the waters under the Heaven bee gathered together unto one place and let the dry land appear and it was so it is but transiently inconsiderately and at the best unponderingly for there is but few that mind or apprehend what they read Why These are waters indeed in respect they are little less in spatiousness nay if not greater than the whole Earth joyn all the small Ex pede Hereulem wee say The skilful Geometrician finding the length of Hercules foot upon the hill Olympus made the portracture of his whole body by it You may judge of the Seas though you never saw them and great Islands and Continents that be either in the East and West North and South together they are not so vast and large as the Seas bee Now I know that many are very prone to deem this assertion as a thing not credible because of the weakness of their judgements but that I may bring those into a beleef of it that may call what is laid down here into question I will tell them what they shall do to put the thing out of
