Now at last see what good Noah did after the flood,1 he built an ⟨p. 74⟩Altar to God and offered sacrifice in thanks for his deliverance, and in a desire to frame his household to true piety, and to establish the worship of God amongst them. O let each of us learn carefully to acknowledge Gods goodness in great deliverances, and to offer him the sacrifice of praise, if he have safe guarded us from the raging floods of adversity and calamity. And let us be careful to establish and set up the worship of God in our families, and amongst our people publicly and privately every way. Build Gods altar, offer Gods sacrifices, I mean exercise Gods religious worship, pray, hear, read, meditate, come to the Sacraments: set not Gods ordinances at variance. Do not pick quarrels with anyone of them, exalt not one to depress another, let them all go together in their times, and especially perform the true meaning of these sacrifices. Offer up the sacrifice of Christ in a perpetual renewing of the memorial thereof in your souls to God and renewing of your faith in it, offer up the sacrifice of a contrite spirit and broken heart, sighing daily for daily sins and infirmities, offer the sacrifice of earnest prayers for all good things, and of hearty praises for what we have received already, and offer up your selves to God by him to be sanctified to do him faithful service in all holy obedience to all his holy laws. Be truly, heartily, uprightly religious and devout in your whole lives.
