The Ocean's Works and Providence in Nature
The writer extols animal and vegetable ocean life as evidence of divine wisdom. They describe air bladders that adjust buoyancy, shells and casings as protection, and vast fecundity among deep-sea creatures. They praise variety, utility, and the moral uses of sea products, then turn to reflections on nature, virtue, and the wave as emblem of life and eternity.
