Further it was a fault in him,1 that he carried himself over churlishly to Abraham, and in a kind of revengeful passion and chiding of him, for calling her sister and not wife, and so hazarding him to adultery, and in that passion sending him packing out of his country. In anger and displeasure to take a man up for a fault, and drive him away, make him be gone, is surely too great an yielding to that distemper, which receiving of injuries doth work, even a kind of heat and unlovingness against the doer of them. Take you heed of giving your selves so far over to wrath. That he did reprove Abraham was well, that he did it over angerly and so dispatched him out of his country, this was not well. Shun what was evil in him, and if you follow any thing, follow that was good.
