Another good thing in her was that when she was commanded by the Angel of God to go and humble her self to her Mistress,1 she did so. Here all you inferiors must learn of her, nay rather of the Angel which taught her what you should do, if you have by frowardness or ill carriage provoked your Governors, so that they do use perhaps a little too much rigour towards you, yet you must submit and humble your selves, acknowledge your own faultiness, and patiently stoop to their words of reproof, yea or blows of correction. This submission is the best way to pacify wrath, and to settle peace. Afterwards, we read of no falling our betwixt Hagar and Sarah. Learn therefore all ye servants to stoop and be submissive, that will show humility and win favour with God and man.
