To take from me my rebuke among men. Barrenness was not without cause esteemed as a reproach, seeing that the blessing of the womb was accounted amongst the especial testimonies of gods favour & love. Some think that this did specially appertain to the people of the old law, because that Christ was to come of the seed of Abraham. But that belonged only to the tribe of Judah. Others more rightly affirm, that the increase of the people of GOD was prosperous and happy, for that it was said to Abraham, Gene. 13. 15. Thy seed shall be as the sand of the sea, and as the stars of the heaven: But the general blessing which reacheth unto all mankind, and the promise made unto Abraham, which is peculiar to the Church of God, ought to be joined together.

Let parents learn to be thankful to God for their children, but let them that want, learn by the same to humble them selves. Elizabeth accounteth that this reproach is but before men, because that it is but a temporal chastisement, by which we are nothing the further from the kingdom of heaven.
