Emblema. 53. Ionæ naufraugium.
The same in English.
The shippe tost vp and down on sea,
The shipwracke like is for to spill,
But Ihonas, which from God did flee,
Once cast out, then the sea is still,
A fish receiueth him full huge,
Lest he perish, and is his refuge.
Example here doth three thinges teach,
From Gods wrath wee cannot be hidd,
VVho scapeth on earth, on sea he wil reach,
Nor from his wrath can wee be ridd,
Vnlesse he smart that doth offend,
God doth in succour trouble send,
As whale on prophete doeth attend.
