1And now let us see his carriage to Abraham and Sarah. And first he doth admonish them both of their fault, and that not with a kind of discontent and frowardness (as before Pharaoh had done) showing rather that he was sorrowful he might not have Sarah then that he had attempted so far as he did, but in gentle and yet plain manner, saying, What hast thou done unto us? and again, Wat sawest thou that thou hast done this? His reproof is sharp enough, and yet as appeareth afterwards, it was mixed with gentleness. So, it is a good thing if our Brethren have sinned against us, to call for them or go to them, and to demand what ground they had or what inducement ⟨p. 201⟩to sin so, and to let them understand, that the things they have done were such as ought not to have been done, especially if they have gone about to draw us to sin, or to occasion us to rush unwittingly into sin, that so we may bring them to repentance, or at least free our selves from being partakers with them in their sins. So did he deal with Sarah too, but not with the like earnestness, for he considered the fault was chiefly Abraham's, who had confessed that she did it at his entreaty, and therefore he doth alone intimate a chiding to her, saying, thy brother, and adding good counsel, He is to thee a covering of the eyes to all that are with thee, and to all others, verse 16. and it is added, for she was reproved, meaning, that he intended to reprove her, and that she did take it and was touched with it as with a reproof.
1And now let us see his carriage to Abraham and Sarah. And first hee doth admonish them both of their fault, and that not with a kinde of discontent and frowardnesse (as before Pharaoh had done) shewing rather that he was sorrowfull he might not have Sarah then that he had attempted so farre as he did, but in gentle and yet plaine manner, saying, What hast thou done unto us? and againe, Wat sawest thou that thou hast done this? His reproofe is sharpe enough, and yet as appeareth afterwards, it was mixed with gentlenesse. So, it is a good thing if our Brethren have sinned against us, to call for them or goe to them, and to demand what ground they had or what inducement ⟨p. 201⟩to sinne so, and to let them understand, that the things they have done were such as ought not to have beene done, especially if they have gone about to draw us to sinne, or to occasion us to rush unwittingly into sinne, that so wee may bring them to repentance, or at least free our selves from being partakers with them in their sinnes. So did he deale with Sarah too, but not with the like earnestnesse, for he considered the fault was chiefely Abrahams, who had confessed that she did it at his entreaty, and therefore hee doth alone intimate a chiding to her, saying, thy brother, and adding good counsell, He is to thee a covering of the eyes to all that are with thee, and to all others, verse 16. and it is added, for shee was reprooved, meaning, that hee intended to reproove her, and that shee did take it and was touched with it as with a reproofe.
