Only thus much we find, that when the whole world was over-grown with wickedness; (d All flesh had corrupted their ways:) And the Church of God it self was grown to a ⟨p. 83⟩general Apostasy, by ethe falling away of the Sons of God; not the fAngels, (as gTertullian out of the forged Enoch, and hsome others, though the iAngels also be in some places so termed) and much less Devils (as *some other have absurdly conceited;) nor †the Sons of Gods, that is, Princes and Potentates (though in Scripture “sometime so called;) but kthe posterity of Seth, matching with the daughters lof Men, and so contracting affinity with Cain's cursed race, which proved the ruin of the whole world: mIt repented God that he had made man, that is, nhe purposed to destroy man, whom before he had made; for such is Gods repentance, a ochange not of his will, but of his work; prepentance with Man is a change of the will; repentance with God is the willing of a change.
