1First, God vouchsafed to save him in the Ark from the Deluge of waters, so that he perished not with the world, but escaped with his Father and Brethren. It was a special and singular favour, to make him one of the few, that is, eight persons that were delivered from the raging waves, and enjoyed the benefit of a miraculous preservation of that little handful of men, whereof the Church visible did then consist. We see that one was an Hypocrite, a dissembler, a wicked unsanctified man, who though he continued a professor of the true religion, and worshipper of the true God with his Father and Brethren, yet was destitute of true piety and continued graceless, a servant of sin, void of due reverence and charity towards his aged Father, Gods Minister and the most holy man of all those times, and served God with them alone in outward form and fashion. For had he been truly good he would not have run into so foul a sin, at least he would not have persisted in it without repentance as he did.
