Answer 2

The main idea of paragraph three of Of Plymouth Plantation was a sailor who fell overboard was spared by God to become a member of the church.
According to this paragraph, if it weren't for God whose power helped save the sailor, he would have drowned. However, he was lucky (or the Lord gave him a better destiny) and he was spared so that he could become a church member.
