The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near
to some country;
ACT 27:28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had
gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
ACT 27:29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast
four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
ACT 27:30 And 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,
ACT 27:31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these
abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
