godlie man: yet what doth the Lorde leaue to his wisedome, when as he appointeth the matter, the forme, the length, the breadth, the height, the wood, the kynd and sorte of wood?
Io. Whitgifte.
All men knowe howe vncertaine a reason it is that is grounded vpon figures and types, excepte the application therof may be founde in the Scriptures. For a man may applie them as it pleaseth him, euen as he may doe allegories, and yet was there manie things required to the Arke whereof there is no expresse mention made, and namely nayles or pinnes to ioyn it together, neither is it expressed whether the win∣dow was of glasse or of chrystal, or of neyther. Moreouer he is not prescribed to make a couer for it, and yet it had one as is declared cap. 8. The ouerseers and maisters of the woorke lykewyse are not there appoynted, but lefte to the discretion of Noah. There are many other thinges required to the making of suche an Arke, whereof there is no expresse mention in that place. To conclude, Noah beeing in the Arke, did thinges which the Scripture dothe not expresse that he was commaunded to do, as when he sente out the Rauen and the Doue. &c. cap. 8. Wherefore I say with M. Caluin: Arcam fuisse Ecclesiae imaginem certum est, teste Petro, verùm singulas eius parteis ad ec∣clesiam aptare minime consentaneum est. It is certaine that the Arke was a figure of the church by the testimonie of Peter, but it is not mete to applie euerie parte thereof vnto the Churche.
