Q. Shall there be no Raine-bow as some haue thought, fortie yeeres before the last iudgement?
A. If this were true, then the time of the last iudgement should bee knowne; but of that houre and day knoweth no man: se∣condly, if in that space there should bee no Bow, then there should be neither raine nor clouds: but famine, miserie and mortalitie, but Christ testifies the contrarie, for men shall be eating and drinking, marrying, &c. and therefore there shall be great ioy and plentie: thirdly, the Raine-bow is the signe of that couenant which God made, not only with Noah, but with all his posteritie, and therefore shall continue till the end of the world.
