This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
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, Son_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.
