Q. Why is Sem called the brother of Iapheth here, and not also of Cham?

A. Some are called brethren by nature, as Iacob and Esau, some by nation, as the Iewes were Pauls brethren, some by affinitie as Christ and his kins-folkes. Matth. 12. and some by religion and affection as all Christi∣ans. Then Iapheth and Sem are called bre∣thren, because they were not onely so by na∣ture, but also in affection. So Si•…•…eon and Leui brethren for their affection in euill. Gen. 49. Then though Cham by nature were Sems brother, yet God accounts him not so, because he was not of his affection and reli∣gion, euen so wicked and prophane Christi∣ans though they are accounted our brethren in the iudgement of the world, yet they are not so in the iudgement of God.
