We must learn therefore whosoever mindeth to follow Christ and be his Disciple, learn to love him above all persons, yea as himself teacheth us, to hate Father and Mother, even to hate them I say; that is, to be willing to part with them, as if we hated them for Christs sake. And as here the Lord so provided for Abraham, that he wanted no friend in any place where ever he came, a foreign country afforded him as much welfare as his native soil could have done, so whosoever shall loose any such thing for Christs sake, shall be sure to receive in this life an 100. fold, that is, an hundred times more good and comfort, then those things or persons could have afforded, yea many times also a larger measure, and greater number of outward things and outward friends.
