Mountaines were descouered Noah tarried yet 40. dayes When 311. daies were past then he sent foorth a Rauen which houered a long time he nameth not the time but as 7. vpon 7. in the Doue is expressed so 40. vpon 40. is here to be vnderstood So then there are daies 351. to which add the 14. last in which the Doue was twise sent foorth then you haue dayes 364. after the 14. daies in which the Doue returned not Moses reckneth the first day of the Moneth in these wordes In the 601. of the age of Noah the first day of the first Moneth the waters were dried vp Concerning the 5. dayes euery sixe yeares they make a leape Moneth the odde quarter of a day in 120. yeares make a leape Moneth Thus much for the vse of the Fathers before the Flood Now follow the Fathers after the Flood whose Storie conteineth vnto the Promise giuen vnto Abraham 427. yeares Some thing will I speake of the generall vse of them both togeather WEe haue two stayes the Fathers before the Flood and the Fathers after the Flood The summe of all is nothing else but to know God and him whom he sent Iesus Christ For surely the spirit of God hath in such plainnesse penned downe the Storie of the Scriptures that all the world must wonder at the wisedome of God layde downe so shortly and plainly Before the Flood he taught nothing but the Gospell adding to the doctrine thereof Kaines Murther and Lameches Adulterie And after the Flood we haue not ten notable Fathers as before For Terah the father of Abraham fell away and worshipped strange Gods And surely as the Sunne Moone and Starres are glorious and excellent for the distinguishing of times so are the Numbers of the ages of the Fathers And through the Scripture for the clearenes of the Word Times are generall or perticular Generall from Adam to the Flood and from thence to Abrahams promise from thence to the comming out of Egypt then to the building of Salomons Temple then to the burning thereof by the Babilonians and then to the end of the Captiuitie and from thence to the death of Christ These are the summe of all the Times the proofe of these is scattered through the Scriptures Thus much for the two Tables in generall After the Flood Noah and Sem be heere handled againe because their storie continued through and after the Flood Compare Noah with Adam and you shall see that Noah is another Adam Adam Was an husbandman Became into transgression by eating vnlawfully And Euah after their transgression seeing their nakednesse sewed Fig-tree leaues to couer them and the very same wordes that God spake to Adam in Paradise for ruling and increasing the very same he reneweth to Noah Had the tree of Life in Paradise for a seale of conseruation Had two younger Sonnes good the elder wicked Noah was an husbandman Became into transgression by drinking vnlawfully After his transgression hauing his nakednes vncouered is couered by Sem and Japhet Had the Rainebow as a couenant of preseruation Had two eldest Sonne good and the younger wicked Kaine the eldest sonne of Adam was cursed C ham the youngest sonne of Noah euen to Canaan his youngest son was cursed The one against nature killed his Brother The other against humanitie vncouered his Fathers nakednes Adam before the Flood might eate no Flesh Noah after the Flood might eate Flesh the Blood onely excepted because in the Blood of euery thing is the life and the life of euery thing will God require at euery creatures hand from the seueritie of which a commandement against Murther was giuen to Noah The reason why they might eate Flesh after the Flood and not before may be because the dayes of man being shortened at the Flood halfe in halfe the bodyes of men were afterwards of a more weake constitution and then you read first of planting of Vines for Wine which was added to be an helpe in digestion to the strengthning of the body and quickning of the vitall spirits as in Psalm 104.15 Wine doth make the heart glad and Oyle doth cause a chearefull countenance Noah was drunke and vncouered in the midst of his Tent and awaking from his Wine hee knew what his youngest Sonne had done and sayd Cursed be Canaan a slaue of slaules shall he be Now Noah would not curse Cham because God blessed him but hee cursed Canaan his Nephew the Sonne of Cham who as some suppose derided also his Grandfather Blessed be the God Sem. And God will perswade Iaphet to dwell in the Tents of Sem. Vpon these three sentences doe the chiefe Stories of the Bible depend For whatsoeuer plagues doth befall the Egiptians the Canaanites Ethiopians Blackemores Babylonians and such like is contained within Chams curse Whatsoeuer blessing is promised or performed to the Iewes is comprehended within Sems blessing Whatsoeuer promises of mercie and sauing health was prophecied of to the Gentiles is vnderstood vnder these words And God will perswade Iaphet to dwell in the Tents of Sem. The Prophet Noah spake not at random when he said Blessed be the God of Sem. But what is there spoken short in due time is drawen out longer and the not regarding the blessing to Sem doth make many thinges in the new Testament to be neglected And first for CHAM HIs name signifieth Hotte or Cholericke And those Countries did his Sonnes after the confusion of Tongues possesse namely in Africa in the South countrie C ham the Prince of Affricke the spreader of wickednesse inhabited the fourth part of the World with his Families His House neuer got any victorie but for some especiall punishment to be shewed vpon Sems house C ham had a curse in this world and doubtlesse in the world to come He had foure Sonnes The first Cush of whom came the Ethiopians or in our tongue Burnt-faces The second Mitzraijm of whom the Egiptians come for Mitzraijm doth signifie Egypt The third Put of whom the Lybians and Blackamores come And the fourth Canaan of whom the Canaanites come in whom the curse of Cham was pronounced notwithstanding it falleth out also in all his other Sonnes And as Canaan was a slaue of slaues so are they that are of the like infidelitie so that oftentimes for the horrible impietie of one man the whole Nation fareth the worse This Canaan had eleuen Sonnes and himselfe made the twelfe and his Countrie was called Canaan which once was Paradise And as Paradise to Adam resembled the state of Heauen so did the land of Canaan to the Israelites and the Iewes for it was a Land abounding with all good thinges In Paradise was the Tree of life in Canaan CHRIST was borne the true Tree of life Adam neglecting the true seruice of God in Paradice was driuen from thence The Iewes neglecting their Sabaothes and finally the knowledge of Christ were likewise driuen out of Canaan But as notwithstanding Adams fall saluation in Paradise was promised to

striuing for darknes we become children of darknes so lose the light of eternall life as the Iewes and Romanes did whose recompence hath followed The one depriued of their earthly glorie the other aduanced to glorie to be a staine of eternall damnation In the begining was the word c. Iohn 1.1 THese words In the beginning are the first wordes in the old Testament whose first word in the Hebrew is Bara which consisteth according to the Hebrew of three letters which closely conteine in them Father Sonne and Holie Ghost as 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for Ben which singnifieth Sonne 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for Abba which is Father and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for Ruach Hakodesh which is the Holy spirit Thus the Trinity is closely contained in the first word but in the first verse is expressed in open wordes In the beginning God made heauen and earth and the spirit of God mooued vpon the waters and God said Let there be light This is expounded Iohn 1.1 in these wordes In the beginning was the Word the Word was with God and that Word was God shewing that Word in this place is taken for the Sonne of God by whom he made the world as Iohn 1.3 By him were all things created And Heb. 1.2 God made all things by his Sonne who ruleth all things by his mightie power Wherefore Christ in the dayes of his flesh chose the trade of a Carpenter Iohn 6.42 Math. 13.55 And in Esay 43.10 It is sayd This record you must beare me your selues saith the Lord that I am God and euen he I am from the beginning I doe the worke who shall let it Thus saith the Lord the holy one our redeemer Wherein is distinctly expressed Father Sonne and Holy Ghost He was the Light and that Light was the life of man Iohn 1.4 LIfe and light is not here carnally meant but spiritually To which two thinges Aaarons Iewell of Vrim and Thummim had a full relation Vrim signifying Light of the minde Thummim Perfection of vertue which bringeth life to the soule As Iohn 1.9 Christ is the true light that lightneth euery man And hee that abideth in this light hath euerlasting life 1. Iohn 1.5 God is light and in him is no darknes at all If wee walke in light euen as he is light then haue we fellowship with him and the blood of Iesus Christ shall giue vs life and cleanse vs from our sinne We the gentiles were darknes but now are light in the Lord. Ephes 5.8 The vnderstanding of the stories of the Bible doth giue a great light to the mind of man and the practise giueth life vnto euery one that embraceth them as Deut. 8.3 and Mat. 4.4 Man liueth not by bread onely but by euery word which proceedeth out of the mouth of God The despisers of religion continue in darknesse and light to them is death as 1. Iohn 2. 9. He that saith hee is in light and hateth his brother is in darknesse and walketh in darknesse and knoweth not whither he goeth because the darknesse hath blinded his eies 1. Iohn 5.11 But God hath giuen vs eternall life and that life is in his Sonne who layed downe his life for his Sheepe Iohn 10.15 Wherefore while wee haue light let vs walke beleeue in the light that we may be the children of the light Iohn 12.36 The first Adam was made of the Earth earthly c. The second was made a soule giuing life c. HEre before the comparison betweene Adam and Christ we are to consider the Creation wherein we are to vnderstand the Creation of the Heauen Earth and Sea all the hoast of them which doe consist of Wightes visible and inuisible Inuisible as Angels Visible as Sunne Moone Starres Fishes Fowles Plants Hearbs Grasse Beastes and such like which God created before he created Adam by Christ for Adams sake because he purposed not to take the nature of Angels or of any other creature but of Adam and that he might be knowne in his power and louing kindnesse to Adam by his workes For he fore-purposing to make Adam both King and Father of all the Earth would not haue his wittes entangled with cares for this life but to haue his affections setled on heauenly things that he might continue holy and blamelesse before him as Mat. 6.25 Take no care what you shall eate or what you shall drinke nor yet for your body what rayment you shall put on Behold the Fowles neither sow nor reape and your heauenly Father feedeth them Are yee not much better then they How much more then shall he doe the same for you For he knoweth yee haue need of all these thinges But first seeke the Kingdome of God and his righteousnesse Math 6.33 For no mans life standeth in the aboundance of thinges which he possesseth Now followeth Adams creation HEe was made the sixt day as it is gathered in September of the dust of the earth vpon Mount Moriah which is a Mountaine adioyning to the gates of the Garden of Eden into which Garden hee was put to dresse it about sixe of the clocke in the morning as we account when men commonly goe to labour as should appeare by the Psal 104.23 where it is said Adam goeth foorth in the morning to his labour This is not particularly meant of Adam but generally of all men no doubt alluding to the time of Adams creation Hee had dominion giuen him ouer all things and witte like to an Angell to giue names to all Beastes free libertie to eate of all the Trees in the Garden The Tree of knowledge of good and ill onely excepted As if God should haue said vnto him as Moses afterwardes sayd to the Children of Israel I set heere before you life and death eate of the one and liue and eate of the other and die eternally Yet could not he be content with this glorious estate but did eate of the forbidden Fruite by the perswasion of the Woman which God framed out of Adams Ribbe and ioyned to him to be an helpe for him before they had continued in Paradice one day as it is written Psal 49.20 Adam being in honour continueth not a night but is like to the Beastes that perish which Woman was deceiued by the subtiltie of a Serpent that is of the Deuill speaking in a Serpent which Beast was fittest to possesse to the deceiuing of her because he excelled all other Beastes in the Field in witte For if an Asse had sayd so much to her as did the Serpent it is very likely shee would haue examined the cause further But hee hauing once been an Angell of light but not keeping his first originall being throwne downe from Heauen continuing his knowledge though he lost his vertue was not to seeke either for meanes matter or oportunitie enuying their estates to bring his murtherous purpose to passe for so is he called the Serpent the old Deuill or Satan who was a
