But another weakness of Sarah is,1 that she was somewhat too rough with Hagar, insomuch that Hagar could not endure it, for if she was so violent in words with Abraham, what do you think her carriage was to the maid, yea she was something too earnest against Ishmael and her too, when nothing would serve her, but that she must have them both together cast out of doors. For though God bad Abraham do according to her words, it followeth not thence, that ⟨p. 144⟩she was not overpassionate in it. God for a mystery would have it done, and yet Sarah might offend in doing it. So good people are apt to be overharsh to them that wrong them, and exercise too much bitterness against them.
