And lastly, she took care of him afterwards,1 to provide him a convenient wife, for so it is said, Gen. 21.21. this is a duty of Parents to make fit provision for the timely bestowing of their children in marriage, whereof to be negligent is a part of one that regardeth not to keep his child in good order, and to make too much haste is ⟨p. 150⟩to make them hasten to misery. So Hagar was a good servant and a good wise Mother, and a good woman, her carriage except in a few things was good.

1See her faults now. First, she grew proud, because she was with child by Abraham and despised her Mistress. The Maidens of Leah and Rachel may shame Hagar in this, for neither of them is accused for any such misdemeanour. Take heed ye servants, that you grow not insolent and contemptuous against your governors, you see how much it distempered Sarah, and it is a grievous sin to put your rulers into passion by your ill carriage. When the Angel met Hagar he commands her to go and humble her self to her Mistress. It is apparent therefore her carriage to her was amiss. There be some servants that having been over-familiar with the Master, take occasion soon to sleight their Mistress. So they add sin to sin and are found double offenders; If any of you have offended in contempt, much more in so ill grounded a contempt, do that which the Angel bad Hagar, humble your selves before God, if not to your Mistresses. Follow what was good in Hagar not what was bad.
