For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
