who_o be_v able_a to_o comprehend_v the_o breadth_n and_o length_n and_o depth_n and_o height_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n q._n why_o do_v god_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o the_o beast_n and_o fowl_n a._n not_o for_o their_o own_o sake_n but_o for_o man_n for_o as_o god_n make_v they_o for_o his_o sake_n so_o for_o his_o sake_n he_o bless_v they_o and_o make_v his_o covenant_n with_o they_o second_o to_o teach_v we_o that_o if_o he_o have_v such_o care_n of_o the_o beast_n far_o great_a care_n will_v he_o have_v over_o we_o oh_o we_o of_o little_a faith_n q._n why_o do_v god_n confirm_v his_o covenant_n with_o a_o sign_n a._n for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o strengthen_n of_o our_o memory_n as_o common_o he_o use_v so_o he_o confirm_v our_o mortification_n by_o

the_o sign_n of_o grace_n or_o rather_o seal_v different_a from_o these_o miraculous_a sign_n of_o glory_n as_o the_o fiery_a pillar_n the_o cloud_n the_o fiery_a bush_n the_o rod_n of_o moses_n the_o dry_n of_o the_o red_a sea_n the_o rock_n that_o yield_v water_n q._n which_o be_v this_o sign_n of_o the_o covenant_n a._n the_o rainbow_n which_o be_v call_v his_o bow_n first_o because_o he_o make_v it_o second_o because_o of_o the_o wonderfulnes_n thereof_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v by_o the_o poet_n thaumantia_n proles_fw-la three_o because_o he_o by_o his_o special_a ordinance_n do_v ordain_v it_o to_o be_v a_o sacramental_a sign_n of_o mercy_n again_o it_o be_v call_v the_o rainbow_n because_o it_o be_v in_o the_o cloud_n in_o the_o day_n of_o rain_n ezech_n 1._o 28._o second_o because_o it_o signify_v that_o the_o world_n shall_v never_o be_v drown_v any_o more_o with_o rain_n moreover_o it_o be_v call_v a_o bow_n because_o of_o the_o likeness_n it_o have_v with_o a_o bow_n second_o because_o as_o a_o bow_n in_o scripture_n be_v use_v for_o a_o sign_n of_o waâ—…s_n so_o the_o rainbow_n natural_o be_v the_o sign_n of_o water_n although_o god_n have_v now_o make_v it_o a_o sign_n not_o of_o water_n but_o of_o deliverance_n from_o water_n q._n why_o do_v god_n set_v his_o bow_n in_o the_o cloud_n a._n that_o it_o may_v be_v the_o more_o conspicuous_a and_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o second_o because_o it_o be_v a_o watery_a meteor_n generate_v in_o the_o cloud_n by_o the_o reflection_n of_o the_o sun_n three_o for_o our_o great_a comfort_n for_o there_o god_n will_v place_v it_o where_o the_o great_a fear_n and_o danger_n of_o water_n be_v to_o wit_n in_o the_o cloud_n therefore_o now_o we_o need_v not_o fear_v the_o cloud_n because_o their_o water_n be_v seal_v with_o this_o bow_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o any_o more_o drown_v the_o earth_n four_o the_o cloud_n be_v oftentimes_o the_o sign_n of_o god_n presence_n and_o favour_n as_o here_o the_o bow_n be_v set_v in_o the_o cloud_n a_o cloud_n go_v before_o the_o israelite_n the_o lord_n give_v the_o law_n in_o a_o cloud_n upon_o mount_n sinai_n the_o tabetnacle_n be_v fill_v with_o a_o

who_o think_v that_o this_o bow_n be_v not_o mean_v of_o the_o rainbow_n but_o rather_o figurative_o of_o the_o secret_a power_n of_o god_n a._n no_o for_o here_o it_o be_v express_o mean_v of_o that_o bow_n which_o be_v in_o the_o cloud_n which_o be_v none_o else_o but_o the_o rainbow_n second_o this_o narration_n of_o moses_n be_v historical_a but_o that_o opinion_n of_o ambrose_n be_v allegorical_a three_o his_o opinion_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o all_o the_o greek_a and_o latin_a father_n q._n do_v the_o rainbow_n natural_o signify_v that_o the_o earth_n shall_v not_o be_v drown_v with_o water_n a._n no_o for_o although_o the_o rainbow_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o matter_n and_o generation_n thereof_o be_v natural_a yet_o as_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o deliverance_n from_o water_n it_o be_v supernatural_a then_o there_o be_v no_o natural_a relation_n between_o the_o rainbow_n and_o a_o universal_a flood_n because_o such_o a_o flood_n can_v proceed_v of_o natural_a cause_n but_o only_o by_o god_n power_n yet_o natural_o it_o do_v signify_v some_o moderate_a rain_n to_o follow_v because_o it_o be_v generate_v not_o when_o the_o whole_a face_n of_o heaven_n be_v cover_v with_o thick_a cloud_n but_o when_o there_o be_v some_o thin_a and_o dewey_a cloud_n opposite_a to_o the_o sun_n q._n why_o do_v god_n rather_o make_v the_o rainbow_n the_o sign_n of_o his_o covenant_n than_o any_o thing_n else_o a._n because_o among_o the_o celestial_a body_n there_o be_v none_o more_o wonderful_a conspicuous_a and_o glorious_a than_o this_o and_o therefore_o fit_a to_o be_v the_o sign_n of_o such_o a_o covenant_n between_o god_n and_o we_o second_o the_o covenant_n be_v that_o god_n will_v restrain_v the_o water_n from_o drown_v the_o earth_n again_o this_o be_v see_v in_o the_o bow_n wherein_o there_o be_v water_n but_o temperate_v with_o light_n with_o light_a heat_n be_v join_v and_o heat_n be_v that_o which_o restrain_v immoderate_a rain_n three_o the_o effect_n of_o his_o covenant_n be_v peace_n and_o reconciliation_n and_o this_o be_v signify_v by_o the_o rainbow_n which_o want_v both_o string_n and_o arrow_n for_o he_o shoot_v his_o arrow_n against_o the_o first_o world_n and_o have_v break_v the_o string_n because_o he_o be_v reconcile_v to_o we_o fourthly_a the_o rainbow_n natural_o signify_v a_o moderate_a rain_n therefore_o it_o be_v fit_a to_o signify_v supernatural_o restraint_n from_o inordinate_a rain_n five_o the_o flood_n proceed_v from_o the_o cloud_n and_o this_o bow_n be_v generate_v in_o the_o cloud_n therefore_o fit_a of_o all_o to_o assure_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v drown_v with_o the_o immoderate_a rain_v of_o the_o cloud_n q._n be_v the_o rainbow_n before_o the_o flood_n or_o not_o a._n it_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o matter_n thereof_o for_o see_v before_o the_o flood_n the_o sun_n and_o the_o cloud_n be_v which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o rainbow_n it_o can_v not_o be_v but_o that_o the_o rainbow_n be_v also_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o till_o now_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o sacramental_a relation_n it_o have_v with_o god_n mercy_n for_o it_o be_v no_o sign_n of_o the_o covenant_n till_o now_o q._n shall_v there_o be_v no_o rainbow_n as_o some_o have_v think_v forty_o year_n before_o the_o last_o judgement_n a._n if_o this_o be_v true_a than_o the_o time_n of_o the_o last_o judgement_n shall_v be_v know_v but_o of_o that_o hour_n and_o day_n know_v no_o man_n second_o if_o in_o that_o space_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o bow_n than_o there_o shall_v be_v neither_o rain_n nor_o cloud_n but_o famine_n misery_n and_o mortality_n but_o christ_n testify_v the_o contrary_a for_o man_n shall_v be_v eat_v and_o drink_v marry_v etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o there_o shall_v be_v great_a joy_n and_o plenty_n three_o the_o rainbow_n be_v the_o sign_n of_o that_o covenant_n which_o god_n make_v not_o only_o with_o noah_n but_o with_o all_o his_o posterity_n and_o therefore_o shall_v continue_v till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n q._n what_o relation_n be_v there_o between_o the_o rainbow_n and_o christ_n a._n as_o the_o rainbow_n be_v the_o sign_n of_o that_o old_a and_o temporary_a covenant_n so_o be_v christ_n the_o angel_n of_o the_o new_a and_o eternal_a covenant_n second_o as_o the_o rainbow_n be_v generate_v of_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n which_o light_n be_v all_o one_o with_o that_o which_o be_v in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sun_n so_o be_v christ_n beget_v of_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o father_n light_n of_o light_n
