The nations, all the nations of the world, are as a drop of a bucket, compared with all the water in the bucket, wherein are innumerable drops: such are they if compared with God. And are counted by him, and in comparison of him, as the small dust of the balance; which accidentally cleaves to the balance, but makes no alteration in the weight. The isles; those numerous and vast countries to which they went from Judea by sea, which are commonly called isles, as hath been oft observed.
