1Another fault of hers was, that she ran away from her Mistress, which the Angel also shows to have been sinful by sending her back again. Let not the Devil make any of you play the fugitive by running away from your governors if they be somewhat sharp to you, rather strive to pacify them by submission, then to cast off the yoke by betaking your selves to your heels. These be her only faults, for I am loath to charge her with having an hand in Ishmaels mocking of Isaac, for Ishmael was then upon the point of sixteen years old, for Abraham was eighty six when Ishmael was borne, and 100 when Isaac was borne, and Isaac sucked some while, like enough above a year, and so Ishmael must be near about sixteen, that she may think he was so sensible of being Abraham's heir as to laugh at the stir made about the young child, as if by his coming into the world he should be dis-inherited.
