Which they toke vp, and vsed helpe, and bounde it vnder harde to the shippe, fearinge lest they shulde haue fallen in to the Syrtes, and let downe the vessell, and so were caried.

Wherfore syrs be of good cheare: for I beleue God, yt it shal come so to passe, as it was tolde me.

and the other, some on bordes, some on broken peces of the shippe. And so it came to passe, that all the soules came safe vnto londe.

where we founde brethre and were desyred of them to tarye there seue dayes, and so came we to Rome.

which wha they had examyned me, wolde haue let me go, for so moch as there was no cause of death i me.

that the inuisible thinges of God (that is, his euerlastinge power and Godheade) mighte be sene whyle they are considered by the workes from the creacion of the worlde: so that they are without excuse,

And as they regarded not to knowe God, euen so God gaue the vp in to a lewde mynde, to do those thinges which were not comly,
