THE NINTH EXAMPLE.
OF SARAH, HAGAR.
AS Abraham is called the Father of the faithful, so it is also said to Godly women concerning Sarah, 1whose daughters ye are as long as ye do well, &c. So that she is honoured with this title of being the mother of believers, as he was the Father. Having therefore set before you the example of Abraham, we proceed to consider the example of Sarah his wife. Let us see 1. Her birth, 2. Her life, 3. Her death.
