Like wise in the homely ges• of Noah / 1when he was drunk / and lay in his tent with his privy members upon / hast thou great edifying in the literal sense. Thou seest what became of the cursed children of wicked ham which saw his fathers privy members and jested thereof unto his brethren. Thou seest also what blessing fell on S•m and Japheth which went backward and covered their fathers members and saw them not. And thirdly thou seest what infirmity accompanieth Gods elect be they never so •oly / which yet is not imputed unto them. For the faith and trust they have in God swalloweth up all there since.2
