And as the same water in the flood, preserved 1Noah in the Ark; and destroyed all the old world: so the same blood, and death of Christ, and his sufferings, it kills all our spiritual enemies: (they are all drowned in the red Sea of Christs blood,) but preserves his Children. There were three main waters, and deluges which did ⟨p. 171⟩all typify out Christ. The flood that drowned the old world, the passing through the red Sea, and the waters of Jordan, in all these Gods people were saved, and the enemies of Gods Church destroyed, whereunto Micah the prophet alludes when he saith, he s•al dro•ne •r sins in the bottom, of the Sea, he alludes to Pharaoh, and his host drowned in the bottom of the Sea, they •unck as lead, so all our sins, (which are our enemies) if we be in Christ they sink as lead.
