1A third virtue, Abraham had obedience, that is, his will was thoroughly subject to Gods will in all things, so that he held this resolution within himself, that whatsoever God bad him do that he would do, for which God praised him, saying, because thou hast obeyed my voice, and the Apostle, saying, he obeyed and went out. Obedience is a resolution and endeavour to do all that God bids, because he bids.2 Let us take some special acts of obedience, wherein Abraham did cross his reason, and his affection, and his credit, and his profit, and all to perform the will of God, even therefore only, because God bad him, whom he durst not out of fear and would not but out of love follow in all things.
