Thus long it continued; at last in the midst of wrath God remembers mercy: and as he corrected with hist Rod of affliction, so he upholdeth with his st•ffe of consolation. As in the Ark he kept some seed alive to replenish the earth, when the rest perished: so he ceased the deluge, and at last delivered them out.u God remembered Noah, and every living thing: he remembered the very beast.x O Lord, thou preservest man and beast.
