The Joyful Arrival at Cape Cod

But to omit other things (that I may be brief ) after long beating at sea they1 fell
with that land which is called Cape Cod; the which being made and certainly
known to be it, they were not a little joyful. . . .
Being thus arrived in a good harbor, and brought safe to land, they fell upon
their knees and blessed the God of Heaven who had brought them over the vast
and furious ocean, and delivered them from all the perils and miseries thereof,
again to set their feet on the firm and stable earth, their proper element. . . .
