Tell me, wretch, have at sea? you ever been Damis. Yes, often.

You were carried along then, were you not, either by the wind striking the main-sail and filling the staysail, or by the rowers, while some one person stood at the helm and brought the vessel through in safety?

Certainly.

Then the ship could not sail unless it was steered; but you imagine that this universe moves along without pilot or guide?

Well done, Timokles! that is a powerful comparison.
