1Furthermore, Hagar received great mercies from God, for he gave her to conceive by Abraham, and when she ran away, met with her and directed her to go back again, which she acknowledged with great thanks, for he gave her also a heart to go back and submit to her Mistress. This is a great favour of God, if he find us in our out-strayings, and give us both direction and will to come into the right way again. Pray to God, that he would thus guide you and not suffer you to continue and perish in your out-strayings.

1Another mercy of God to Hagar was, that she had Ishmael, and a promise, that God would be with him and bless him, and make him a great man, and that he made Ishmael after dutiful to her, for he was guided by her in taking a wife which she had chosen for him. If children have not grace, yet if they prosper in the world and yield themselves dutifully to their Parents to be guided by them, they must acknowledge it as a great favour from Heaven.
