-Herman Bavinck’s Reformed Dogmatics, Volume 3, Chapter 5.5 (page 218)"Powerfully and copiously supplied with gifts, the world was, as it were, left to itself for a time; but it soon became evident that if God did not forcefully intervene, the world would perish in its own wickedness. With Noah, therefore, a new period begins. The grace that manifested itself immediately after the fall now exerted itself more forcefully in the restraint of evil. God made a formal covenant with all his creature. This covenant with Noah (Gen. 8:21-22; 9:9-17), though it is rooted in God's grace and is most intimately bound up with the actual covenant of grace because it sustains and prepares for it, is not identical with it. It is rather a 'covenant of longsuffering' made by God with all humans and even with all creatures. It limits the curse on the earth; it checks nature and curbs its destructive power; the awesome violence of water is reigned in; a regular alternation of season is introduced. The whole of the irrational world of nature is subjected to ordinances that are anchored in God's covenant. And the rainbow is set in the clouds as a sign and pledge."
What relationship if any is there between the Adamic covenant and the Noahic covenant? I can see that both are made with humanity as a whole but is there any overlap between the two?
