Now Sarahs obedience to Abraham was eminent in two things especially.
1 In doing what he required of her; for when on a sudden ⟨p. 141⟩there came three men to Abraham, 1and he was desirous to entertain them, he bid his Wife make such and such provision with all possible speed, and accordingly she did.
