But let us come out of the depths of the sea and take refuge upon the shore.  For the marvels of creation, coming one after the other in constant succession like the waves, have submerged my discourse.  However, I should not be surprised if, after finding greater wonders upon the earth, my spirit seeks like Jonah’s to flee to the sea.  But it seems to me, that meeting with these innumerable marvels has made me forget all measure, and experience the fate of those who navigate the high seas without a fixed point to mark their progress, and are often ignorant of the space which they have traversed.  This is what has happened to me; whilst my words glanced at creation, I have not been sensible of the multitude of beings of which I spoke to you.  But although this honourable assembly is pleased by my speech, and the recital of the marvels of the Master is grateful to the ears of His servants, let me here bring the ship of my discourse to anchor, and await the day to deliver you the rest.  Let us, therefore, all arise, and, giving thanks for what has been said, let us ask for strength to hear the rest.  Whilst taking your food may the conversation at your table turn upon what has occupied us this morning and this evening.  Filled with these thoughts may you, even in sleep, enjoy the pleasure of the day, so that you may be permitted to say, “I sleep but my heart waketh,” Cant. v. 2. meditating day and night upon the law of the Lord, to Whom be glory and power world without end.  Amen.
