Acts 27:14

14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.

Ver. 14. Called Euroclydon ] A stormy blast coming from the east,

" Una Eurusque Notusque ruunt, creberque procellis

Africus, et vastos volvunt ad littora fluctus. "

(Virg. Aeneid. ii. 28.) This wind is by Pliny called Navigantium pestis, the mariner’s misery. How happy is the Church to whom, what wind soever bloweth, blows good and comfort, Song of Solomon 4:16 . As for others, like as here, after a soft south wind arose Euroclydon; so to them after a false peace will be a sad storm, Tranquillitas ista tempestas erit.
