1First, it was a great virtue in her, that all the time of her dwelling with Abraham before, she carried her self very dutifully and respectively to Sarah, else she would never have given her into Abraham's bosom. Let all servants learn of her to show all reverence and dutiful behaviour to their governors, and not only to the rich and wealthy, but to the poor also, nay as S. Peter saith, not only to the good and courteous, but also to the froward, for so is Gods commandment to them expressly, Ephes. 6. Col. 4. 1 Pet. 2. and if any servant do otherwise, they do not garnish and adorn, but disgrace and discredit true religion. The servant is no further godly then he or she shows reverence and honour to the master and governess. Look therefore that you set your selves to please and content your governors with all obedience and duty, if you will have God and your own consciences to approve of you.
