                                If, by the same, the Church bee signifi'd.<lb/>
                                For, as it is (by some) affirm'd of these,<lb/>
                                That, whilst they breed, the fury of the seas<lb/>
                                Is through the world alayd; and, that their Brood<lb/>
                                Remaines in safetie, then, amidst the flood:<lb/>
                                So, when the Christian Church was in her birth,<lb/>
                                There was a generall Peace throughout the earth;<lb/>
                                And, those tumultuous Waves, which after that<lb/>
                                Began to rise, and bee enrag'd thereat,<lb/>
                                Were calmed so, that Hee was borne in peace,<lb/>
                                From whom, the faithfull off-spring did encrease.<lb/>

                                As here you see; and, though the raging Wave,<lb/>
                                Of dreadfull Seas, hath beaten, ever since,<lb/>
                                Against the Fortresse of their strong defence,<lb/>
                                Yet, still it stands; and, safe, it shall abide,<lb/>
                                Ev'n in the midst of all their foming pride.<lb/>
                                Vpon this Rocke so place me, oh my God!<lb/>
                                That, whatsoever Tempests bee abroad,<lb/>
                                I may not feare the fury of my Foe;<lb/>
                                Nor bee in danger of an overthrow.<lb/>
                                My life is full of Stormes ; the Waters roule,<lb/>
                                As if they meant to swallow up my soule.<lb/>
                                The Tides oppose; the furious winds doe roare;<lb/>

                                And, my fraile vessell cannot long endure;<lb/>
