Another cross was, that she was slighted by her maid,1 yea that she bare the cross somewhat impatiently, must be reckoned in the number of her sins. Doubtless it is a trying affliction to be assaulted with rude saucy and contemptuous words and gestures of a disobedient and undutiful servant. Hardly shall the spirit of a governor be able to hold it self in patience, when it shall see a servant or inferior to look too disdainfully or arrogantly, or hear them utter surly and scoffing words. Pride in an inferior shows it self by undutifulness, and it will prove an hard thing to the superior not to think it equal that pride should encounter pride again with passionate resistance of it. You must learn that have servants most times (as most times Hagar was) dutiful, to be thankful for it, and must take heed of doing any thing, by which you may give your servants occasion to sleight and contemn you, for their corruption will quickly lay hold upon any occasion of such misdemeanour.

Hardly shall the spirit of a governour be able to hold it selfe in patience, when it shall see a servant or inferiour to looke too disdainefully or arrogantly, or heare them utter surly and scoffing words. Pride in an inferiour shewes it selfe by undutifulnesse, and it will prove an hard thing to the superiour not to thinke it equall that pride should encounter pride againe with passionate resistance of it. You must learne that have servants most times (as most times Hagar was) dutifull, to be thankefull for it, and must take heede of doing any thing, by which you may give your servants occasion to sleight and contemne you, for their corruption will quickly lay hold upon any occasion of such misdemeanour.
