Notwithstanding which , We find that by the cunning of some Traiterous and Seditious persons ( who amongst other their false devices , by which they have endeavoured to alienate the hearts of Our Subjects from Us , have suggested that We intended an alteration in Religion ) many of Our Sea-men , Sailers and Marriners have been seduced to keep Our own ships from Us , to contribute towards the maintenance of the Army which is raised against Us ( and which had destroyed Us , if God almighty had not protected Us in the day of Battle ) and have been since drawn on and invited to serve in land-service against Us , though they have ever heretofore been freed by Us , and many of them ( especially those which belong to the Corporation of the Trinity-house ) have had speciall exemptions from any such service .

  God be thanked A sermon of thanksgiuing for the happy successe of the English fleetes, sent forth by the honourable company of aduenturers to the East Indies. Preached to the honourable gouernors and committees, and the whole company, of their good ship, the Hope Marchant happily returened: at Deptford on Maundy Thursday last being the 29th of March. 1616. Hereunto are added sundry necessary and vseful formes of prayer and thankes-giuing for the helpe of all such as trauell by sea, fitted to their seruerall occasions. By Samuel Page Dr. in Diuinitie.

summary:
  O Lord the preseruer of all , that put their trust in thee , wee beseech thee to saue vs from the hands of our enemies , protect vs from the power of the cruell man , giue vs not a prey to them that seeke our liues to destroy them , and our goods to possesse them : Wee confesse that our sinnes haue deserued to bee chastised with roddes , but O Lord we pray thee to take the matter into thine owne hand , for with thee there is mercy , and in thy rod there is correction , but not destruction to thy seruants ; O Lord set not vp the right hand of our enemies , and make not our aduersaries to reioyce : Wee humbly commit our bodies and soules into thy hands , for we know whom we haue trusted , and thou dost not faile them that depend on thee : Heare vs O Lord our deliuerer , and haue mercy vpon vs for Iesus Christ his sake , our onely Lord and Sauiour , Amen . FAther of mercies , and Lord of life , to whom also belong the issues of death , wee thy children acknowledge against our selues , that it is thy hand which punisheth vs in our health with sicknesse , and it is our sin that deserueth this , and a greater iudgement to bee inflicted vpon vs , O Lord heale our soules , for we haue sinned against thee , heale our bodies which haue beene the instruments of sin , and the weapons of vnrighteousnesse ; command thy destroying Angell to hold his hand , and restore vs againe to the cheerefull light of thy countenance .

  An account of the nature, causes, symptoms, and cure of the distempers that are incident to seafaring people with observations on the diet of the sea-men in His Majesty's navy : illustrated with some remarkable instances of the sickness of the fleet during the last summer, historically related / by W.C.

summary:
  Moreover , since the heart hath the same properties , and is subject to the same laws , with the other muscles ; and they being more weakly contracted , because of a lesser quantity of animal spirits , that are deriv'd into them ; so must the heart be more faintly contracted too ; and since , by the consent of Physitians , and the evidence of reason , the motion of the blood depends upon the strength of the hearts contraction ; the contraction of the heart being weaker , 't is plain , that this confus'd mixture of viscid and rarify'd blood , will have but a very weak motion ; which is continu'd in the blood , till its return to the heart , bating what it has communicated , in its circulation , to the arteries and blood to be propelled ; but since it is still losing part of its motion , the further it goes from the heart ; the blood will be , on all occasions , apt to stagnate in the smaller and remoter vessels ; and so produce those red , blue , &c. spots , we have spoken of . Now since the hot and warm parts of the blood are delivered from their confining viscid parts ; because the power of compression is greater than the power of cohesion , which proceeds from that viscidity ; and since the power of compression is proportionable to the velocity of the blood , and its velocity is greatest in these arteries that are next the heart ; the power then of compression in those arteries , that are next the heart , will be greater than in these that are more remote , i. e. the heat will be felt in the parts that are more remote from the heart , or the extremities , a great while after 't is felt in the parts that are nearer the heart , and they have been warm ; and the coldness in the remote limbs , after the rest of the body has been warm , may last even till the power of compression in their arteries be augmented by the continual afflux of blood , and is able to subdue ▪ the force of the viscid and intangling parts ; and since these two powers are uncertain and undetermined , there can be no time assigned , wherein this coldness may last in the remote limbs , after the rest of the body has been hot ; only we may assert , that the coldness will last the longer in the extremities , the more viscid the blood is , and the more firmly and closely it envelopes and confines the heat .

  The true honor of navigation and navigators: or, holy meditations for sea-men Written vpon our sauiour Christ his voyage by sea, Matth. 8. 23. &c. Whereunto are added certaine formes of prayers for sea trauellers, suited to the former meditations, vpon the seuerall occasions that fall at sea. By Iohn Wood, Doctor in Diuinitie.

summary:
  It is certaine that the end , for which Christ thus suffered this tempest thus directly to seaze vpon his ship , was , not onely for the triall of their faith , ( which was yet but weake ) , but also for the confirmation and strengthening thereof , by that great miracle which he then wrought : To teach all men at sea and land , to depend vpon Gods prouidence in their greatest dangers , knowing that p a sparrow c●n●ot fall ●o the ground ▪ nor an haire from their he●ds without him ; and therefore submitting their wils to his will in their most extremities , to say with El● , q It is t●e Lord le● him do what ●●eme●h him good . Dost thou find any comfort by any grace already receiued ? pray for the continuance and increase in it , and for multiplying and increasing of more graces ; g Gi●● al● diligence to ioyne vnto your faith vertue , and with v●●tue k●owl●dge , and with knowledge temperance ▪ an● with temperance patience , and with patience godlinesse , and with godlinesse brotherly kindnes , and with brotherly kind●esse lou● . &c. Pray not only for thy selfe , but for others , both with thee , and farre from thee : Frater si prote solùm oras , solus pro te oras ; si pro omnibus ores , omnes pro te orant : Brother ( saith Saint Augustin● ) if thou onely pray for thy selfe , thou alone prayest for thy self ; if thou pray for all men , all doe pray for thee .
