1For his wife, you have a notable example of love and gentleness to Sarah in bearing with her passion and distemper, and imperiousness, as you have it noted, Gen. 15.5, 6. when she flew upon Abraham with a false and vehement reproof, saying, my wrong be upon thee, that is, thou art in blame, the fault is thine, it is long of thee that I am slighted by my maid, she bears her self bold of thee, thou holdest her up in it, and so concludes with calling God to be judge betwixt them. He doth not answer her again with words as hot and testy as hers, but in gentle manner yieldeth to her, saying, thy maid-servant is in thine hand, do with her what thou wilt. This is an honour to him, if he had been put into a rage by her rage then had he been overcome of evil, but now he is a right conqueror and overcomes evil with good, when he continued meek and passed by her distemper and yielded to her passion.
