3. Further, they declare that the arrangement made with respect to the ark in the Deluge, by means of which eight persons were saved,[Genesis 6:18] most clearly indicates the Ogdoad which brings salvation. David also shows forth the same, as holding the eighth place in point of age among his brethren.
