Go forth of the Ark thou and thy Wife and thy Sons and thy Sons Wives with thee and bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee c. and Noah went forth and every living thing that was with him after his kind went forth out of the Ark. And Noah builded an Altar unto the Lord and took of every clean beast and of every clean fowl and offered burnt-offerings on the Altar and the Lord smelled a sweet savour and the Lord said in his heart I will not again curse the earth any more for mans sake for the imaginations of his heart are evil from his youth neither will I again smite any more every thing living as I have done while the earth remaineth seed time and harvest cold and heat Summer and Winter day and night shall not cease Gen. 8.20 21 22. And God blessed Noah and his Sons and said unto them be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and the fear of them and the dread of them shall be upon every beast of the earth and upon every fowl of the air the power of all living the living creatures the Lord delivered into the hands of Noah and his Sons and the Lord said every thing that liveth shall be meat for you even as the green Herb I have given you all things but flesh with the life thereof which is the blood thereof you shall not eat And surely your blood of your lives will I require at the hand of every beast will I require it and at the hand of man and at the hand of every mans brother will I require the life of man Gen. 9.4 5. So here the Lord warned them before hand not to kill one another as Cain had done his brother no nor the beasts to kill them who so shedeth mans blood by man shall his blood be shed for in the image of God made he man ver 10. And to Noah and to his Sons he said be fruitful and multiply and bring forth abundance in the earth and multiply therein and behold I will establish my Covenant with you and with your seed after you neither shall all flesh be cut off any more neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth and God said this is a token of the Covenant that I will make between me and you I do set my Bow in the Cloud and it shall be seen in the Cloud and I will remember my Covenant and I will look upon it that I may remember the everlasting Covenant between me and every living Creature of all flesh upon the earth And the Sons of Noah that went forth of the Ark were Shem Ham and Japhet Ham is the Father of Canaan these are the three Sons of Noah and of them was the whole earth spread And Noah began to be a Husbandman and he planted a Vinyard and drank of the Wine and was drunk and he was uncovered within his Tent and Ham the Father of Canaan saw the nakedness of his Father and told his two Brethren without and Shem and Japhet took a Garment and laid it upon both their Shoulders and went backward and covered the nakedness of their Father and their Faces were backward and they saw not their Fathers nakedness ver 23. So this cursed Ham he could look upon his Fathers nakedness and lay it open to his Brethren but his Brethren covered his nakedness and could not look upon him And Noah when he awoke from his Wine he knew what his younger Son Ham had done unto him and he said cursed be Canaan a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren and he said blessed be the Lord God of Shem and Canaan shall be his servant and God shall enlarge Japhet and he shall dwell in the Tents of Shem and Canaan shall be his servant Here Noah had the inspiration of the Almighty and was a true Prophet concerning his three Sons and they which he blessed is blest and he whom he cursed is curst● and according to his Prophesie the Lord hath enlarged Japhet for of Japhet's stock is the Isles of the Gentiles as you may read Chap. 10. ver 5. And of Shem's stock came Abraham the Father of all the faithful to which the promise of the Lord is and Christ Jesus the seed of the promise is not only given a Covenant unto Abraham and his seed the Jews but he is also given a light to the Gentiles that he may be Gods salvation to the ends of the earth And so here is Noah's Prophesle fulfill'd upon Shem and Japhet that as they joined together in covering their Father's nakedness so Christ Jesus the everlasting Covenant hath joined them together in one and will be their salvation to the ends of the earth and so Japhet dwells in the Tents of Shem in God's Covenant of light And so Ha●'s stock is of the cursed seed he begat Cush and Cush begat Nimrod and he was a mighty hunter and a great man in the earth and the beginning of his Kingdom was Babel in the Land of Shinar as ye may read in Gen. 10. The whole earth at that time was of one Language and this Nimrod began to build a City in the plain of Shinar and this Ham's stock and Nimrod's stock they would go make brick and they would go build a City and a Tower whose top may reach to Heaven lest we be scattered upon the face of the earth say they and the Lord God came down to see the City which the Children of men builded and the Lord said let us go down and confound their language that they may not understand one anothers speech so the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of the earth and they left off to build the City therefore is the name of it called Babel because that there the Lord did confound the Language of all the earth and the cause of this was the pride of cursed Ham's stock and Nimrod that would be so great that he would build a Tower to Heaven that he might not be scattered but his Kingdom is Babel and from thence they were all s●attered and this was the beginning of many Languages even a curse from God upon Ham's stock for before the earth was all of one Language for Ham's stock is of the cursed seed and for their sakes the Language was confounded and they scattered over the earth Now the Generations of Shem you may read of in Gen. 11.10 to the end And Terah lived 70 years and begat Abram Nahor and Haran ver 26. and Haran begat Lot and Haran died before his Father Terah in the Land of his Nativity Hor of the Caldees and Abram and Nahor took them Wives the name of Abram's Wife was Sarai and the name of Nahor's Wife was Milcah and Terah took Ahram his Son and Lot the Son of Haran his Son's Son and Sarai his daughter-in-law his Son Abram's Wife and they went forth with him into Vz of the

was risen from the dead Now if Christ be preached saith the Apostle that he rose from the dead how say some among you that there is no Resurrection from the dead ver 12. but if there be no Resurrection of the dead then is not Christ risen this is very true for by the Resurrection of Christ the dead arises by preaching of his resurrection and if Christ be not risen then is our preaching vain and ye are yet in your sins then also they which are fallen asleep in Christ are perish'd but now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that sleep for since by man came death by man also came the resurrection of the dead for as in Adam all died so in Christ all shall be made alive there is a natural body and there is a spiritual body saith the Apostle And some men will say how are the dead raised and with what body do they come thou fool that which thou sowest is not quickened except it die and that which thou sowest is not the body which shall be for that thou sowest must die that it may encrease God giveth it a body as it pleaseth him but to every seed it s own body so whatsoever seed thou sowest whether it be Wheat or any other grain though that which thou sowest die in the ground that it may encrease yet it bringeth forth its own body it s own nature it s own image And to this agrees Christs own words in John 12. where he saith verily I say unto you except a corn of Wheat fall into the ground and die it abideth alone but if it die it bringeth forth much fruit this he spake when he saw his hour was coming and he said Father save me from this hour but for this cause came I unto this hour Job 12 24. to the 27. And now this great Husbandman the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ he did sow his seed in Adam and it died that it might encrease in Christ Jesus who is the resurrection and the life of this seed and the Lord hath watched and waited and had an eye over his Vineyard Isa 5.1 as we have shewed throughout this Treatise but the Apostle goes on farther and speaks of the glory of the Sun and of the Moon and of the Stars and saith so also is it in the Resurrection it is sown in dishonour it is raised in glory it is sown in weakness it is raised in power it is sown a natural body it is raised a spiritual body for so it is written the first man was made a living soul the second Adam a quickening spirit howbeit that Adam was not first which is s●iritual but that Adam which is natural and afterwards that which is spiritual the first man of the earth earthy the second man the Lord from Heaven as is the earthy such are they also that are earthy as is the heavenly such are they that are heavenly and as we have born the image of the earthy so shall we bear the image of the heavenly Now I say unto you Brethren that flesh and bloud cannot inherit the Kingdom of God and so on to the end of the Chapter And this is the earthy that which is of the first man flesh and blood which must not inherit incorruption and this is the resurrection that we witness and wait for the spiritual body the spiritual image the spiritual life the quickening spirit the Lord from Heaven the gathering of the immortal seed to the great Lord of the Harvest the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ that he desires his Disciples to pray for to send forth painful Labourers into his harvest So the great God is now coming to gather his great Harvest and his Crop that he hath sown so long since and the Angels are his Reapers and waited for and watched over as you may read through this Book And to this agrees that which Christ saith in Math. 25. when the Son of man shall come in his glory and all the holy Angels with him then shall he sit upon the Throne of his glory and before him shall be gathered all Nations and he shall separate them one from another as the Shepherd divideth the Sheep from the Goats and he shall set the Sheep on his right hand but the Goats on his left ver 31 32 33. and so shall the resurrection of the just be to life and the resurrection of the unjust unto condemnation this is the Resurrection that all shall find and may expect for Christ hath been as he saith in this Chapter as one in a far Country and hath called his servants and hath delivered unto them his Talents and as every one hath gained and profited so shall they receive So it is required of every one to know the precious seed which God hath elected and chosen for himself of all seeds he hath chosen but one the precious seed though it be likened unto a grain of Mustard-seed which is the least of all seeds but is the most precious and pure and holy seed because it came from the life and breath of the immortal pure God whose life and immortality dwells in eternal light and eternal brightness So the Lord by his glorious word and power is gathering in again his precious and holy seed and renewing and restoring a far more and exceeding weight of glory than what was the glory of the first man the glory of the second man far exceeded it for as the Apostle saith the first man was made a living Soul so likewise David saith he was made a little lower than the Angels Psal 8. what is man that thou art so mindful of him and the son of man that thou visitest him for thou hast made him a little lower than the Angels and hast crowned him with glory and honour thou hast made him to have Dominion over the works of thy hands thou hast put all things under his feet which words the Apostle rehearseth again in the 2. of Heb. and saith that he left nothing that was not put under him then in that state that he then stood in which was before the Fall but now saith the Apostle we see not all things put under him why because he was come under in his transgression and fallen from that where God had set him but saith the Apostle we see Jesus who is made a little lower than the Angels for the suffering of death he is crowned with glory and honour that is everlasting that he by the grace of God should taste of death for every man which glory and honour changeth not as the glory and honour of the first man did So the glory of the first man Adam he was made a living Soul a little lower than the Angels and all the glory of the first body he was crowned with and had Dominion over all the visible Creation and had power over all the Creatures that God had made God set him King over
