And thus we have the three motives that moved in Noah this Reverence of God: the consideration first of his great Judgement on the sinful world: 2. Of his great mercy in saving him: 3. Of his admirable power and wisdom, showed both in the Judgement and the mercy.

Hitherto of the first effect. It followeth; Prepared the Ark.

The 2. effect of Noah's faith, whereby it is commended, is, that he upon a commandment received from God (as we heard before) doth make & build an Ark, wherein to save himself & his family. Concerning this Ark, much might be spoken out of the book of Gen: but it is not to our purpose: which is no more ⟨p. 120⟩in this Chapter, but to show the obedience and practice of faith, and therein the excellency of it. Now the point here to be spoken of, is not the matter, nor the measure, nor the proportion, nor the fashion, nor the uses of the Ark; all which in the 6. Chapter of Genesis, are fully described: but the action and obedience of Noah in preparing it, as God bad him: whereof the holy Ghost (in Genesis 6.22.) saith, Noah did according to all that God had commanded him, even so did he.
