(a) Noah preach∣ing and building the Ark that 120. years, the people believed not the spirit of GOD preach∣ing in Noa: for the which, as their bodies were drowned in the ••••ood; so their soules nowe remaine in the Prison of God his wrath, 1. Pet. 3. 18, 19, 20. That water was a fi∣gure of Baptisme: for as by that water Noah and his Familie (the faithfull, for Cham was not then seene-wicked) were saved from Iehouahs wrath: even so by Baptisme, the Faithful are saved, and the lurking hypocrite for the time fareth not the worse. But as all without the Arke, were vtterly destroyed by the same water: even so shall Baptizing water be but a Sacrament of condemnation vnto such as receiue it vnworthelie: whether they be within the Ark (the visible Church) as was Cham, or baptized in the Church of the World, or visible worldlings, such as is that great Citie. Revel. 17. 18.
