55. 8 Ibid. Vol. V. P. 37. 117 The Bible and the one of Frobisher's men, after grinding a night and a day among the icebergs, not waiting for God to come down and split the ice for them* Nor is there a touch of the marvellous wanting in the scene of snow and hail, rain and wind on a lee shore outside the Straits of Magellan : " Most of our men having given over to travell, we yeelded our selves to death, with- out further hope of succour* Our captaine sitting in the gallery very pensive, I [Joh...n Jane] came and brought him some rosa solis to comfort him ; for he was so cold that hee was scarce able to moove a joint* After he had drunke, and was comforted in hearte, hee began for the ease of his conscience to make a large repetition of his forepassed time, and with many grievous sighs he concluded in these words : ' Oh, most glorious God, with whose power the mightiest things among men are matters of no moment, I most humbly beseech Thee, that the intolerable burthen of my sinnes may through the blood of Jesus Christ be taken from me : and end our daies with speede, or shew us some mercifull signe of Thy love and our preser- vation*' " Then, as he bade Jane say nothing of what had passed lest the men should be dismayed, suddenly " the Sunne shined cleere ; so that he and the Master both observed the true elevation of the Pole, whereby they knew by what course to recover the Streights*" Lastly that lover of ships, Richard Hakluyt, collect- ing the voyages, traffiques, and discoveries of our 1x8 Anglo-Saxon People seamen, reflects with wonder how kindly natives from Japan and the Philippines take to our climate and learn to speak our language, and regards this strange fact as a pledge of God's further favour to us and to them, for " unto their doors I doubt not in time shall be by us carried the incomparable treasure of the truth of Christianity and of the Gospel, while we use and exercise common trade with their merchants/' Is it surprising that the same Biblical influence should show itself in the Elizabethan literature t 4 The Faerie Queene, " writes Green, " in its religious theory, is Puritan to the core* The worst foe of its Red -Cross Knight is the false and scarlet -clad Duessa of Rome, who parts him for a while from Truth and leads him to the house of Ignorance/' The wondrous horn, which shook the Giant's strong- hold and flung open every door, was the Gospel : " No false enchauntment, nor deceiptfull traine, Might once abide the terror of that blast, But presently was void and wholly vaine.
