Genesis 6:22

Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

Ver. 22. Thus did Noah, according to all, &c.] The wicked world could not flout him out of his faith; but that "moved with fear," Heb 11:7 he preacheth, and buildeth, and finisheth; every stroke upon the ark being a real sermon (as Nazianzen hath it) to forewarn them to flee from the wrath to come; a which yet they did not, - no, not the very shipwrights that made the ark, - but were all buried together, in one universal grave of waters.

a He preached without preaching, saith Basil of Selucia.
