First for himself,1 besides the common benefits of health and strength, and wit, and limbs and the like, which most men receive at the hands of God. He gave him first a good Wife, Sarah, 2who was obedient unto him as the Scripture noteth, and did show all respect and reverence to him, calling him Sir, or my Lord, 3and though she was a woman and had her frailties, yet she was a good and dutiful wife unto him, and in the main a comfort unto him. Abraham had his Sarah with whom he lived very comfortably in the state of matrimony, and there never fell out that we read of, but one alone discontent and brawl betwixt them, which yet by the wisdom and moderation of Abraham, was quickly made up and healed.
