Q. How old was Abraham when he went from Charran?
A. Seauenty fiue yeares olde, and in this he deserueth singular commendations, that although now he was old and feeble, yet hee would not descest from going his iourney. Secondly, in that he went as the Lord spake vnto him, we doe learne how to guide our a∣ctions, for this is true piety, to vndertake no∣thing, but what God hath commanded, and▪ to doe it no other wayes, then as hee hath commaunded; this is onely true obedience, which God more regardeth then sacrifice, 1. Sam. 15. 22. Thirdly, in that Lot went with
him, we may see what his affection was to true religion, who beeing but a youth, and hauing Nachor in Chaldea his vncle, who like enough did diswade him from going, yet hee had rather goe with Abraham although hee knew not whether, then to remaine amongst idolatrous companie.
