And call to mind his Covenant And the bow shall be in the cloud and I will look upon it that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth Gen. 9. 16. That the Rainbow was seen in the Clouds often before the Deluge is not to be doubted because its Natural Causes were then in being the Sun shining on opposite Clouds But God made choice of it for a sign of his Covenant with Noah and his Posteritp it being naturally the most fit and proper as the Token of decreasing Rain as never to be seen but when the Clouds are thin and the chearful Sun shines on them as Vallesius has well observed c. 9. Those that suppose the Rainbow was at God's Covenant with Noah first set in the Clouds are forc'd to believe that till the 600 years of his Life God had not caused it to rain on the Earth but water'd it with Mists or by overflowing of Rivers as Egypt by the Nile otherwise it must have been there before Of which Opinion among others the Learned Dr. Gregory seems to be ch 23. on Gen. 1. 7.
