1But another good thing in Ishmael was, that he submitted himself to his Father to be banished out of his house, no question but Abraham that loved him, would inform him of the necessity which lay upon himself so to expel his son, and would furnish him with all good counsel, who then being some 16. years old was capable of good advice, and so did he without murmuring or wilful refusing to go yield himself to that punishment. It is a good thing in children to take quietly their parents chastisement, even though they should be somewhat severe. But to oppose them, or to rebel against them, ⟨p. 159⟩or fall to clamorousness and impatience is a great sin, even though the correction should be causeless and unjust, how much more if they be righteous and deserved. Learn of Ishmael this submission, how will you hope that you be Gods children, if you do not equal such a one as Ishmael in goodness?
