1But further, God did vouchsafe to deliver her twice out of that misery into which twice she had cast her self, by her own fault. If any one by their own unbelief, carnal fears, or other evil behaviour, have thrust themselves into the brambles, and God by his special providence and care hath granted them an happy issue and escape, they must even admire and applaud Gods goodness, that hath so undeservedly pitied them, and passing by their faults hath carried himself fatherly to them. Sarah by saying I am Abraham's sister, procured, that she was taken by Pharaoh to be his wife, God hindered Pharaoh from coming near her, and after by a dream warned him of the matter, and so he dismissed Sarah untouched. After she offended in like manner again, and again the Lord in like manner delivered her: what a graciousness of God was this? She knew not in the world what to do, she had entangled her self in a snare and could not get out, now God he sets in, he breaketh the snare and sets her at liberty. Without doubt Sarah and Abraham both were exceeding glad of this escape, and praised God for it.

After she offended in like manner againe, and againe the Lord in like manner delivered her: what a graciousnesse of God was this? She knew not in the world what to doe, she had intangled her selfe in a snare and could not get out, now God hee sets in, hee breaketh the snare and sets her at liberty. Without doubt Sarah and Abraham both were exceeding glad of this escape, and praised God for it.
