1065. That 'these three were the sons of Noah' means these three kinds of doctrines which Churches in general possess has been stated just above.

19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
