1God cursed him in his son Canaan, not that himself in person was exempted, but that the curse should show it self most apparently upon Canaan, and that Israel might be more encouraged to go up against the Canaanites, a nation anciently cursed of God, and his curse standeth in this, that he should be a servant of servants, not so much to men, although that also in that was understood and fulfilled, but to Idols, to sin, to Satan. So Ham by discovering his Fathers fault gets a grievous curse upon himself and his posterity.

O learn to terrify your selves from this sin, by threatening your selves with this curse. Shall J provoke God to curse me and my children after me? shall I sow the seed of misery for my self and those that are to come of my body hereafter? Let Gods severity upon those whereof himself hath given us knowledge in the word, make us careful to preserve our selves from their offences, and to that let us both acknowledge our own aptness to the same crimes, and inability to deliver our selves from them, as also crave at the hands of God the gracious help of his Spirit to preserve us.
