Bede : And hoisting the foresail, according to the direction of the breeze, they made for the shore. The foresail is a small sail contrived more for steering the ship than for speed. — Commentary on Acts Hippolytus of Rome : And she bears in her midst also the trophy (which is erected) over death; for she carries with her the cross of the Lord. — Hippolytus Dogmatical and Historical Fragments John Chrysostom : "They made towards shore," having given the rudder-handles to the wind: for oftentimes they do it not in this way. They were borne along, having loosed the rigging, that is, the sails. — Homily on Acts 53
