Q. Of what matter was this Altar made?
A. It is most like that it was made of earth, for this law was giuen after by Moses; Exod. 20. verse 24. An Altar of earth thou shalt make to mee: secondly, this kinde of Altar was most vsuall, euen amongst the Gentiles, Hic viuum mihi cespitem, hic verbe∣nas pueri ponite thuraque, Horat. lib. 1. od. 19. thirdly, by this Noah will teach vs, that God delights not in external pompe and splen∣dor; he loueth the giuer more then the gift, and the widdowes mite more then the rich mans sinnes. For nunquam est manus vacua à munere, si area cordis repleta sit bona voluntate.
