Secondly, Sarah had a godly husband,1 and did partake with him of his riches, honours, credit and all the good things which he enjoyed. This is a great favour to a wife, if she be married to a good and holy man, and a man also of convenient estate and good esteem, that she may be comforted by his goodness, showing it self in good carriage towards him, and may taste the sweetness of his good and of his credit. To have an yoke-fellow that can patiently bear with ones wants, that is diligent and trusty, and so provideth for his family that nothing is wanting to her self and family, that lives in so good repute as she for his sake is better respected; in a word, such a one as is a comfort and credit to her, a saviour of his body as indeed the husband should be, is a singular benefit. She hath a great blessing that hath such a husband, and must not forget to be much and often thankful, yea though in some things he may be faulty, to the hurting, and hazarding, and bringing crosses both upon himself and her, as twice Abraham did though an excellent man. Take notice of his favour, and learn to be careful in doing your duties, so much the rather, because your husbands be virtuous.
