Wherefore let us obey his excellent and glorious will; let us fall before him as suppliants of [*](Examples of obedience)his mercy and goodness; let us turn to his pity, and abandon the vain toil and strife and jealousy which leads to death.

Let us fix our gaze on those who have rendered perfect service to his excellent glory.

Let us take Enoch, who was[*](Enoch) found righteous in obedience, and was translated, and death did not befall him.

Noah was found[*](Noah) faithful in his service, in foretelling a new beginning to the world, and through him the Master saved the living creatures which entered in concord into the Ark.
