Lastly, in that Noah a faithful man, is here warned of God of the dangers ensuing, that so he may avoid them; we may learn the loving care that God hath over them, who have a care to fear and serve him. Thus dealt he with his children in all ages, for their comfort and preservation, to encourage all men to serve God in truth and uprightness, as here Noah did: for, so doing, they may assure themselves of Gods care and providence over them, even then, when his wrath smokes against the sins of the world: and that furthermore in all exigents and extremities, he will •each them, either from his word, or by the counsel of some others of his children, or else by his own secret inspiration, what they are to do, and what course to take, for their safety and deliverance.

How often shall a Christian man find in the course of his life, that God put into his mind, to answer thus or thus, or to foresee this or that; by which his so doing, he escaped some great danger: so that (though not in the same manner as Noah was) all faithful men do daily find, that they are warned by God of such things as do concern them.
