Her benefits were these,1 she had a good husband and many children, and was matched into the Church, and we hope went to Heaven, for her carriage in respect of her children shows some goodness. Indeed she was faulty in imitating her sister, and giving Zilpah to Jacob; much more faulty in thinking that God gave her the next son for a reward of that fault. But so weak we are, and ignorant of sin sometimes, ⟨p. 106⟩that we verily think God is pleased with our sins, and recompenseth them with benefits.

But so weake we are, and ignorant of sin somtimes, ⟨p. 106⟩that we verily thinke God is pleased with our sins, and recompenceth them with benefits.

1And for her crosses, they were, want of her husbands love and comfortable cohabitation, and all the miseries she underwent with her husband besides, her Father was something unkind, as it may seem, for she saith, He counted them strangers; and she also had an imperfection in her visage, for she was blear-eyed. I hope you will all learn to imitate her virtues, fly her sins, be thankful for the like mercies, and patient under the like crosses, and then you shall not be losers of time by hearing her story.
