           but
           the
           great
           storme
           and
           tempest
           of

           displeasure
           gathering

           every

           here

           the

           but
           now
           it
           pursues
           thee

           it
           comes
           in
           this
           stormy

           Thou
           thoughtest
           the
           Word
           was
           but
           as

           and
           that
           that

             The

             shall
             become

           now
           they
           become
           Wind
           indeed
           .
           I
           remember
           I
           have
           read
           a
           story
           ,
           
           that
           
             Hospinian
          
           in
           his
           History
           of
           Jesuites
           relates
           of
           
             Henricus
          
           a
           Jesuite
           at
           
             Ingolstate
             ,
          
           who
           said
           in
           his
           Sermon
           ,
           that
           it
           was
           no
           good
           signe
           of
           a
           Catholike
           to
           joy
           much
           in
           hearing
           of
           Sermons
           ,
           but
           rather
           the
           signe
           of
           an
           Heretike
           ,
           who
           delight
           themselves
           with
           those
           things
           as
           the
           Ape
           with
           a
           nut

           away
           presently
           as

           but
           his
           delight
           is
           to
           heare
           many
           Masses
           :
           is
           this
           a
           distinguishing
           sign
           between
           a
           Catholike
           and
           an
           Heretick
           ,
           fit
           for
           a

           to
           give

           such
           vile
           unworthy
           thoughts
           have

           of
           the

           one
           day

           although
           for
           the
           present
           it
           seemes
           to
           be
           hardened

           we
           read
           of
           a
           threat
           that
           their
           iniquities
           like
           the
           Wind
           should
           take
           men
           away
           ;
           the
           guilt
           of
           thine
           iniquity
           ,
           together
           with
           the
           stormy
           Wind
           ,
           is
           like
           to
           take
           thee
           ,
           and
           carry
           thee
           away
           to
           thine
           owne
           place
           :
           when
           the
           stormy
           Wind
           blew
           so
           as
           it
           endangered
           those
           Mariners
           in
           the
           1

             They
             consulted

             cast
             lots
             ,
             that
             they
             might

           It
           is
           good
           for
           thee
           when
           thou
           art

           not
           this
           tempest
           raised
           against

           for
           my
           sinne

           surely

           wouldest
           aske
           the
           question
           to
           thine
           owne
           heart

           for
           what
           cause
           is
           it
           that
           it

           dreadfull
           ;
           the
           answer
           will
           be
           ,
           it
           is
           because
           thou
           hast
           not
           fulfilled
           the

           before
           it
