In Noah's days all Flesh had corrupted it self, (the old World was drowned in sin before it was drowned in water:) now at this time, Noah was perfect in his Generation, and Noah walked with God, Gen. 6.9. He was the Phoenix of his age. Athanasius stood up in the defence of the Truth, when the World was turned Arian*. The more outrageous others are in Sin, the more courageous we should be for Truth. When the Atheists said, 'tis Vain to serve God, Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another.
