1. Ans. I answer; As touching that Covenant God made with Noah and his Family, it was not only made with him and his Family, but with all the World, for they were the Representatives of all that should live on the Earth; nay, and not only Mankind, but with Fowls of the Air and Beasts of the Field. See Gen. 9. 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons, Verse 8. And I, behold I will establish my covenant with you, and your Seed after you, Verse 9. And with ⟨p. 190⟩every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you, from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth, Ver. 10. And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood: neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth, Verse 11.

Now to what purpose do you mention this Covenant, or the temporal Salvation of Noah's Family in the Ark? May be Noah's Family, or some of them, were saved with that external Salvation for his sake; yet this proves not that his Faith extended to the Spiritual Salvation of the Souls of his Children, for he had a cursed Ham to one of his Sons, his Faith could not save him.
