And there are two general Destructions of the whole World; the one past by Water, the other future by Fire. ^gWater, say some, for the heat of lust ^hthat then was, and Fire, for the coldness of Charity ⁱthat shall be (though that may seem somewhat too curious:) And good warning hath been given of both. For of the former, ^kGod, you see here, gave warning to NOAH, and by NOAH to the World; For NOAH, saith S. Peter, was ^la Preacher of Righteousness: Yea the very building of the Ark, such a piece as it was, was ^ma proclaiming of the Flood, and a preaching of repentance: NOAH in making of the Ark did, as Basil speaketh, ⁿpreach without preaching. Every stroke that was struck, every nail that was driven in the framing of it, was a fore-telling of the Flood, and ^*a real Sermon of repentance. And of the latter both ^oChrist himself, and his Apostles ^pSaint Paul and ^qSaint Peter have in their Sermons and writings given warning.
