The Floud falling AND God remembred Noah then and every living thing with him The Cattel also and the Men that to the Ark were entred in And God did make a drying Wind pass o're the Earth where flouds had rag'd Which for that purpose was design'd and so the Waters were asswag'd The Fountains also of the Deep and Heavens Windows whence it rain'd Were stopt and made all close to keep and Rain from Heaven was restrain'd And waters from the Earth always were going off to leave it dry And in an hundred fifty days they were abated wondrously And in the seventh Month that Year and on the seventeenth Day of that The Ark did rest and plain appear upon the Hills of ARARAT And still the waters did decay untill the tenth Month did ensue And in that Month on its first Day the tops of mountains were in view HYMN 17. The Raven and Dove sent out Then Noah sent a Raven out which went and passed to and fro Untill the waters all about were dryed from the Earth below Then also sent he forth a Dove to see if waters did abate From off the Earth and all above but they were still at too much height And the poor Dove could find no place whereon her weary foot might stand So she return'd to th' Ark apace and he receiv'd her with his hand Let Israel's God be prais'd therefore and with his glory Earth be fill'd And let the People evermore to him all praise and glory yield HYMN 18.
