I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every Purpose And for every work.

<span class="highlight-word">Andspan> when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained <i>theiri> <span class="highlight-word">Purposespan>, loosing <i>thencei>, they sailed close by Crete. But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon. <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> when the ship was caught, <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> could not bear up into the wind, we let <i>heri> drive. <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat: read more Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; <span class="highlight-word">Andspan>, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> so were driven. <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next <i>dayi> they lightened the ship; <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> the third <i>dayi> we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship. <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> no small tempest lay on <i>usi>, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.

Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island. But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country; <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> sounded, <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> found <i>iti> twenty fathoms: <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> found <i>iti> fifteen fathoms. Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> wished for the day. <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship, Paul said to the centurion <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> let her fall off. <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> while the day was coming on, Paul besought <i>themi> all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> continued fasting, having taken nothing. Wherefore I pray you to take <i>somei> meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you. <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> when he had thus spoken, he took bread, <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> gave thanks to God in presence of them all: <span class="highlight-word">Andspan> when he had broken <i>iti>, he began to eat.
