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.

greatest Sea-beasts or Monsters of all the creatures that are to bee found either in the Seas or upon the Land What the sweet and blessed Spirit of the Lord is pleased to say of him in that Job 41.12 the very same shall I conclude with that I will not conceal his parts nor his power nor his comely proportion And this Scripture its wonderful pregnant in the describing of him in very elegant Dialect and excellent Rhetorical Phraseology what hee is in the Seas Canst thou draw out Leviathan with an hook That is canst thou by an angling line bring such a beast as hee is out of the Seas in that order thou doest pull small fishes out of some shallow standing Pond or running Rivulet Here the Lord speaks of him in opposition unto small Fishes that are caught by small Line and Angle Vers 8. Lay thy hand upon him Whale remember the battel do no more Give me leave to run over a few of these verses 5. Ver. Wilt thou play with him as with a bird Wilt thou binde him for thy Maidens that is Canst thou handle him like a bird that will come at thy chat and beck It is impossible to reduce this feral creature unto that domableness that young women might play with him who hath so much dreadfulness and ferity in the very shape proportion and countenance of him which lye so fair in my way and you will have him lively enough emblemed or limned out unto you The spirit of the Lord then seems to say from those words draw but neer this terrible creature and offer him but the least violence and hee will make the stoutest of your hearts to quake and tremble and wish to bee out of his reach When the Mariners go about to kill of these Sea-beasts it stands them in hand as indeed they are very carefull to have their line ready to vere forth otherwise when wounded the Whale flyes with such violence that shee would pull an hundred boats underwater so fast does the line thunder out of the boat that the boats head it often times set on a fire did not the Mariners throw on water to quench it When they wound the Whale it is observable that blood wil spurt up twenty or thirty fadom high into the aire This creature is of such an incredible and inexpressible strength and force in the Seas that in Greenland that great Whale-slaughtering place of the world when they come once to dart an Harping-Iron into him hee will so rage rend and tear that if there were an hundered boats or shallops neare unto him hee would make them fly in a thousand shivers into the skyes Vers 9. Behold the hope of him is in vain shall not one bee cast down at the sight of him God would here set him forth as indeed he is a very formidable creature insomuch that there is very small hopes of taking of him because his assailants and pursuers may as well bee slain in the battel I and sooner too than escape They that adventure to encounter him cannot say wee will come off conquerours for there is many a boatfull of lusty hardy and stout-hearted fellows that leave their bones in the Sea by medling with him The very sight of this creature is so terrible and dreadfull affrighting that it would even share one to behold him when hee raises himself up above the waters which is with such majesty and fierceness as if hee were able to overturn the greatest ships that sail upon the Ocean Vers 13. Who can discover the face of his garment or who can come unto him with his double bridle The meaning of the words is who can or dare go unto him in the waters as hee can unto a gentle and tamed horse that feedeth in the fields or standeth in the stable Can any one go to him in the Seas without shipping or can any one go to him in shipping as the stable groom does unto his geldings with halter or with bridle Hee that shall venture either to saddle or bridle this unruly and indomable beast never need to look to come off again with life and his bones unbroke in his skin Vers 14. Who can open the doors of his face his teeth are terrible round about A man might as well go and take a wild Lion by the chaps or a truculent Bear or a merciless Tyger by the ears as medle with this creature after that manner They that will attempt the killing of these beasts stand in need of a great deal of art skill and dexterity otherwise it may cost them their lives were there a thousand of them in a boat together When this creature comes once to receive a mortal blow what by expence of blood and extream pain which hee undergoes hee gives up his life to him that gave it and his body to his pursuers and at such time as this may any one go unto him and look upon him and open the doors of his mouth for there is neither life nor strength in him then to make resistance but were hee living all the men in the world could not hold him nor do so by him Now may they take a view of his head When the victory is got over the Whale then they may go round about him and tell all his goodly fins which are as so many Oars upon his sides to row his great and corpulent carkass to and again in the Seas at his pleasure which are reckoned to bee three hundered and upwards and by these hee goes at what rate hee ploases in the waters as violently as an arrow out of a bow or a bullet out of a peece of Ordnance in which are eyes as large as some pewter dishes and room enough in his mouth for many people to sit in Now may they look upon his terrible teeth and handle his great and tree-like tongue which is upwards of two yards in breadth and in length longer and thicker than the tallest man that is upon the earth Out of which part the Marines extract above an Hogshead of Oyle Vers 20. Out of his nostrils goes smoake as out of a seething pot or cauldron In the Mediterranean I have seen and observed these creatures but it is not very usual to see any store of these beasts in those Austral parts for there be more in those parts of your Minor Whales and Granpisces than of those Major Sea-beasts In smooth water warm and calm weather they are now and then to bee seen sporting and playing of themselves and shewing their great and massy bodies above the waters unto the aspect of the ships that sail hard by them in the Seas One while rising up and another while falling down one while appearing and by and by disappearing and in their mounting up above water there goes evermore a smoaking breath out of their Nostrils as if it were the smoak of some thundring Bombard or peece of Ordnance the report of which is commonly audible above

come through the Seas out of an ambitious and aspiring nature to compare and try whether they or the ships should swim or sail the fastest This is not unlikely for to my experience I have seen them accompanying of us for a longtime together both in the Mediterranean and elsewhere some swimming on head some on stern some on the Starbord-side of us and othersome on the Larbord like so many sea-Sea-pages or Harbingers runing before our wooden horses as if they were resolved by the best language that fish could give us to welcome us into and through the waters and telling us that they would go along with us And notwithstanding all this wonderfull kindness of theirs to us which I have oftentimes much delighted in it has ended very tragically unto their sorrow For it is the Sea-mans custom to take al opportunities of killing those fish that are good and mandable and thereupon they have got their fisgigs or other instruments in readiness and upon and by reason of their propinquity and neerness have oftentimes most sadly wounded and killed of them Meditations 1. I have hereby learned thus much wisdom that it is dangerous fawning upon strangers and that all acquaintance and intimateness with carnal natural and unregenerate men who are and have no more in them than a natural principle and are in possession of no higher excellencies that their friendship will suddenly turn into enmity and hatred ruining both a mans good name estate and liberty Our Saviour Christ who was so well accomplished and imbued with all spiritual wisdom would not commit himself unto man John 2.24 25. Because he knew right well what was in man They that disclose their secrets to plausible and carnal men they play the Thrashes part to halter themselves I● is said of this bird Turdus sibi malum cacat Shee leaves her doing in the trees and the Fowler makes Bird-lime of it to take her withall Wisdom will apply it Is it not then great folly in people to lay open themselves to men whom they know not 2. That Gods righteous and holy children who are both harmeless and innocent doves even as quiet and peaceable in the world as domable or indomable doves are that sit upon their Columbaries or other birds that perk themselves upon the highest or lowest branches or as Dolphins in the Sea which intend the Mariner no hurt nor harm yet cannot the godly and the upright live at quiet for them in the world for their arrows are dayly notched and upon their strings that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart Psal 11.2 It is an infallible argument that the spirit of the Devil is in those that have no love unto the godly for they tarry but here for a while till death the Saints transporting charriot comes to waft them out of it of whom the world is not worthy Heb. 11.38 and then they will bee gone from that unclean impure and soul-vexing rabble that they doe live near and amongst 3. That the wiseman foresees a danger and therefore hides himself whilst the foolish run on and are punished Prov. 22.3 4. They have in the Salt-waters a frequent aspect of the ravenous feral and preying sort of fish called a Shark Shark of whom the Mariner is more afraid than of all the fish in the Sea besides Some have observed of this fish that they have not stuck to clammer up upon their ship sides out of a greediness to feed upon the Sailors in their ships This Pickroon if hee can but take any of them bathing themselves in it in the Summer-time hee will tear them limb from limb so great a lover hee is of the flesh of man To describe you this creature I must tell you that he is of very great bulk and of a double or treble set or gang of teeth which are as sharp as needles but God out of his infinite wisdom considering the fierceness and violence of the creature has so ordered him that hee is forced to turn himself upon his back before hee can have any power over his prey or otherwise nothing would escape him This fish has dismembered many a poor Sea-man and also taken away the life of many a man before ever they could bee rescued out of their cruelty Meditations 1. The sight of this creature imprinted no less than this in and upon my spirit That sin has not onely brought a curse upon the earth and upon and into many of the creatures that are upon the Land Psal 8.6 The foul of the aire and the fish of the sea and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the sea Not so now Fallen man has lost Imperium suum Imperium sui the command of himself the command of the creatures but also into and upon those that bee and now are also in the Seas Insomuch that there is both great danger in walking amongst them and sailing upon the Seas Sin has exceedingly dishonoured man in respect that the creatures have such ferity and audacity in them to disown him and to rise up in arms against him whom at the first they owned as their Supream All the creatures when they came before Adam subjected themselves but now not so for that was in the time or state of mans innocency and integrity in which if he had permained and continued hee might still have expected the same or a more willing obedience and subjection from them than either now is or can bee had since the fall Certainly they should then have carried man and not have groaned under their burthen as now they do The Greek word is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and it imports thus much that all the creatures stand upon tip to listning hearkning for the day of their deliverance Rom. 8.21 Look upon all the creatures and tell me what hearts they have to serve sinful man It is true God gave man at first dominion over all the creatures Gen. 1.26 And this prerogative being given to man the question may bee to what man and in what condition not to sinfull man but to man after Gods own Image and likeness to man made upright Eccles 7.29 Not to the ungodly man so that the prime end of all the creatures service was directed to righteous man man after Gods own Image and likeness but for the creatures to serve wicked ungodly and unrighteous men is both beyond and besides the prime end and therefore according to their nature they groan because they obtain not their first end that is they are not pleased Indeed they are not intelligent and in that respect they know it not but yet it is against the first law of their creation that they should bee servants unto wicked men they were not created for that end If the Horse the Oxe c. knew but thus much it would greatly displease them but it is not fitting nor convenient that they should know it because it would bee great

down alive ships and all into the very bottoms When the Idol Apis of Egypt had a mind that Germanicus should bee ruined shee would not take meat from his hand This was the answer that the stormy-wind gave when demanded what was the reason that it had shipwracked so many goodly Vessels at such a time Si precantes eos ventus invenisset nihil contra eos efficere potuisset If I had but found them praying I could not have ruined them So God prayers from your hands That is is not for nought that the Lord Observ 22 sends down such calamitous and perilous storms as hee doth upon those that use the Seas Then they cry c. It was a great dispute betwixt Doctor Philomusus and Learned Philosophus what might bee the reason that Sea-men out-strip all people in rudeness deboystness wildness and ungodliness Philosophus Worthy Sir to answer you exactly ratione causae it cannot otherwise be but they should be a wild a brutish sort of people in respect they live so much out of the Land if they lived on land amongst good people there were some hopes of their reformation and amendment but living amongst vain idle and ungodly men they become like a drop that falls out of the clouds even one and the same with the Ocean Fowls that live on the waters are never known to bee tame viz. your Duck Mallard Goose and Seagul these are all wilde and not like unto your Land Fowl 2. They must needs bee wilde because they never tarried so long on land as to get good nurtriture literature and breeding but their parents pack them out to Sea from small children to seek and work for their living As it is with the Lapwings young so is it with the Sailors Naturalists observe of this Bird that if the shell doth but once crack and break they are of that running mettle that they will force their way out and run with the shells upon their heads The generality of Sea-men run to the Sea before they bee seven eight nine or ten years of age and therefore this is one main reason why they are so rude contemptible and absurd in their manners 3. Their ignorance and brutishness together with their audacious gracelesness arises from their early and timely running out of the land on to the water before they are able to give any account of Faith Scripture and the Ten Commandements 4. The main reason why Sea-men are such notorious and nefarious swearers rises either from their nesciency of that Commandement of the Lords Exod. 20.7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain There would be a greater number of Swearers Drunkards and Adulterers amongst the Sailors did not White-Hall keep them down and in awe Surely that is a dreadful house whose lofty Turrets keeps both Sea and Land in subjection I may say of Sailors what Juvenal once said of a people in the times he lived in Non habent ulterius quod nostris moribus addat posteritas Our Sailors flow with those sins in the Seas which former ages were ashamed of and which following posterities will never be able to adde or commit Or otherwise from a want of the fear of God 5. The main reason why Sea-men generally are such filthy and immoderate Drunkards is their want of principles to fortifie themselves against it or otherwise being kept out so long at Sea when they come on land they pour down their cups as Swine do their swill which are of such an avarous gurmundizing nature that they think they can never have enough 6. The main reason why the generality of Sea-men are such extravagant and irregular liars is their deficiency in Scripture-knowledge and also in the strong converting work of Gods grace upon their hearts were that once wrought in them the running issue of their foul-tongues would soon take up and cease Philomusus Worthy Sir you have very fully and pregnantly satisfied mee as to the question I propounded to you for which I thank you should I yet press you to tell mee more of them I know that you could do it but the time not permitting I will not move in this case any further To cast up all shortly Sailors you may conclude that God will one day reckon with you for your unparalleld prophaneness and that storms come not upon you for nought neither are any of you cast away in your ships but by reason of your ungodliness May I not objurgatorily speak it that there goes many ships in the Sea which if they were deeply loaded with the filthiest excrements that lye in the stinkingest Jakes Channels and Boghouses about the City of London would bee far sweeter receptacles for gracious hearts to breathe and walk in than they either are or ever will bee because of that voyce of swearing lying and prophaneness that is amongst them I have met with this passage concerning an Hermite that was taken away in the evening by the conduct of an Angel through a great City to contemplate the great wickedness that was daily and hourly done in it and meeting in the street a Cart that was full laden with the excrements of men the man stopt his nostrils and betook himself to the other side of the street hastening from the sowr carriage all hee could but the Angel kept on his way seeming no whit offended with the ill savour of it and the man much wondring at it followed after him and presently they met a woman gorgeously apparelled perfumed and richly attired well attended on with Torches and Coaches not a few to convey her to an house of Baudry Surely our States Captains and the Merchants Ship-masters have good noses and also good stomachs that can live so contentedly in ships which are meer Hell-houses of swearing and prophaneness If I were a Commander I would either run out of the stinke of swearing or make them to run out of the ship that should take that boldness to make such a filthy funke in it the good Hermite seeing this begun something to bee revived with the fair sight and sweet smell thereof and so begun to stand and gaze upon them but the Angel stopt his nose and hastened away beckning to his companion to retreat from the stench of the Coach telling him withal that that brave Courtezan laden with sin was a far fouler stench and savour to him and before God and his holy Angels than that beastly and stinking Dung-cart hee fled from which was laden with excrements They that are wise will make the Application Observ 23 That great is that stupidity and benummedness that is in Sea-men when they cannot nor will not bee awakened to seek unto God before and until storm and danger comes upon them Then they cry c. And he bringeth them out of their distresses This phrase is joyned to the other by a copulative particle And is
