Q. Why would God haue seauen cleane beasts saued, and neither more nor lesse?

A. Besides that the number of seauen sig∣nifieth sufficiencie and perfection in the Scripture, especially in sacrifices, as Numb. 23. 1. 14. •…•…9. 1. Chron. 15. 26. &c. these seauen did containe three couples and one odde: one couple for procreation, an other for foode, and the third for sacrifice, the odde one which was a Male was ordained for that sa∣crifice which Noe was to offer presently after the flood: which was rather a Male then a Female, because the Male is perfecter, and so all that we offer to God must be perfect.
