So that man was the eause of his cursing, and man
was the cause that God would curse it no more.
GospelKie this to Christ, the head of the seed of
the woman, then we may see that the mystery of
Adam's ministry was amplified to Noah, and all this ;
neither the covenant of works, nor the covenant of
grace. Let me vent out my rapture a little with the
Apostle, Rom. 11. 33. O the^epths of the riches
both of the wisdom and knowledge of God ! How
unsearchahle are his judgments, and his ways past
finding out. Now for its confirmatioii,. I mean the
confirmation of the- ministry of the promise of life
made to Adam, was farther confirmed to Noah and
the church, by the bow, than to Adam. Gen. 9. 19:^
Now this bow was a confirmation of the ministry of
the church, Isa. 54. 9, 10. They that can see no
Aitther in this bow than barely a seal that God
would never destroy the world more by water, may
well be reckoned with those, Isa« 34. 16, 1^ 17'.
