in

,
but
haue
indured
as
great
a
storme
as
we
can
doe
.
Take
blessed
Abraham
the
Father
of
the
faithfull
for
an
example
,
and
see
how
the
volume
of
Scripture
setteth
forth
the
prints
of
his
piety
and
gracious
behauiour
,
as
also
describeth
at
large
his
life
,
and
the
many
occurrences
,
alterations
,
crosses
and
afflictions
,
which
hee
suffered
in
his
life
;
as
to
instance
in
some
particulars
.
First
,
he
is
constrained
to
forsake
house
and
home
,
kindred
and
friends
,
Gen.
12.1
.
Secondly
,
No
sooner
is
he
come
into
that
strange
land
,
but
he
is
inforced
away
from
thence
by
famine
,
Gen.
12.10
.
Thirdly
,
In
Aegypt
wonderfully
is
hee
perplexed
,
Gen.
12.12
.
whether
he
will
saue
his
life
,
or
hazard
his
wiues
chastity
.
But
what
need
I
recken
vp
more
?
for
wheresoeuer
he
went
,
he
found
neighbours
outragiously
barbarous
,
which
would
not
suffer
him
so
much
as
to
drinke
water
out
of
the
Wels
that
himselfe
had
digged
with
great
labour
,

haue
an
eye
to
a
better

But
to
shut
vp
my selfe
within
some
lists
and
limits
,
this
Chapter
spreadeth
it selfe
into
two
braunches
.
The
one
containeth
the
death
of
that
Noble
,
Vertuous
,
and
Religious
Lady
Sarah
.
The
other
,
the
gracious
behauiour
of
Abraham
her
Lord
at
her
death
:
namely
,
Luctus
,
he
mourneth
for
her
:
Secondly
,
a
godly
care
for
her
funerall
rites
,
and
decent
interring
of
her
corpes
,

.
together
with
that
which
may
seeme
strange
,
Emptio

,
The
purchasing
of
a
place
for
buriall
:
for
though
he
had
as
good
a
title
and
right
thereto
as
any
man
hath
to
his
possession
,
it
being
conueighed
vnto
him
by
indenture
,
and
confirmed
by
the
broad
seale
of
the
Couenant
Circumcision
,
yet
is
this
great
Lord
glad
to
crouch
to
the
sonnes
of
Cheth
.
Thirdly
,
there
is
specified
the
buriall
it selfe
,
vers.
19.
To
looke
backe
vnto
the
first
branch
of
the
Chapter
,
which
in
some
sort
may
not
vnfitly
be
called
Sarahs
Epitaph
,
is
contained
these
two
things
:
First
,
the
time
when
she
died
;
secondly
,
the
place
where
she
died
.
And
besides
,
the
time
and
place
whereof
wee
presently
will
speake
,
shee
is
honored
with
a
double
honour
aboue
all
other
women
.
First
,
that
she
is
the
onely
woman
whose
whole
age
is
mentioned
in
the
Scripture
,
If
they
continue
in
faith
,
and
loue
,
and
holinesse
with
modesty
.
The
second
priuiledge
is
,
that
shee
is
the
first
for
whose
death
mourning
and
weeping
is
mentioned
,
an
other
note
of
no
small
honour
:
Gen.
50.9
.
And
it
is
a
great
and
fearefull
iudgement
,
and
signe
of
Gods
wrath
,
to
haue
the
buriall
of
an
Asse
,
to
haue
none
to
lament
,
none
to
mourne
for
them
,
Ieremy
22.18.19
.
To
come
to
the
words
themselues
,
because
the
yeares
of
Sarah
are
distinctly
numbred
,
and
the
Hebrewes
reade
thus
:
And
the
liues
of
Sarah
was
an
hundred
yeares
,
and
twenty
yeares
,
and
seuen
yeares
:
the
Iewish
Rabbins
collect
that
here
is
commended
her
beauty
and
her
chastity
:
viz.
That
she
was
as
faire
at
an
hundred
,
as
at
twenty
;
and
as
chaste
at
twenty
,
as
at
seauen
.
That
Sarah
was
pulchra
,
&
casta
,
cannot
without
impudency
bee
denied
.
Pulchra
,
well
featured
,
well
fauoured
,
the
currant
of
Scripture
is
pregnant
for
it
,
Gen.
12.11
.
And
the
holy
Ghost
maketh
her
a
figure
of
the
new
Testament
,
and
of
the
heauenly
Ierusalem
,
the
mother
of
vs
all
,
Gal.
4.24.26
.
The
spouse
of
Christ
is
faire
,
Cant.
4.1
.
Casta
,
well
nurtured
,
sweet
natured
,
pure
and
chast
,
is
no
lesse
euident
,
1
Pet.
3.6
.
in
that
the
Apostle
setteth
her
forth
for
all
women
to
behold
,
and
as
a
glasse
for
them
to
looke
into
,
and
an
example
to
follow
in
their
liues
and
conuersations
:
But
neuerthelesse
that
which
the
Iewish
Rabbins
would
gather
is
not
from
the
words
warrantable
,
such
idle
dreames
affoord
little
or
no
edification
.
But
from
the
words
we
safely
may
collect
for
our
comfort
and
consolation
,
viz.
that
the
Lord
doth
number
all
our
yeares
,
&
whether
they
be
few
or
many
he
hath
noted
them
down
in
his
booke
of
remembrances
:
The
Scripture
sheweth
that
the
Lord
doth
very
carefully
take
a
reckning
of
our
life
;
here
Sarahs
dayes
are
precisely
numbred
.
And
Iob
14.5
.
mentioneth
moneths
and
dayes
,
how
that
our
dayes
exactè
praefiniti
sunt
,
are
exactly
determined
,
and
the
number
of
the
moneths
which
man
hath
to
liue
,
are
in
the
Lords
owne
hand
.
Wherefore
no
good
man
need
make
any
question
,
but
that
the
Lord
hath
a
care
of
him
,
and
that
the
thread
of
his
life
doth
not
depend
vpon
the
skill
of
any
Aesculapius
,
but
on
the
good
pleasure
of
our
God
:

the
quantity
of

,

The
word

is

.
And
it
is
so
named
in
the
forme
plural
,
Chaijee
,
liues
,
for
diuers
reasons
.
First
,
to
note
,
that
in
the
life
of
euery
man
are
many
operations
,
many
changes
and
chances
,
many
occurrences
and
alterations
,
risings
and
fallings
,
ebbings
and
flowings
:
Mel
&
fel
,
but
more
of
the
one
then
of
the
other
.
Mans
dayes
are
euill
dayes
,

.
Dayes
full
of
labour
,

Because

.
his
griefe
;
and
euery
night
suum
terrorem
,
his
terror
,
Psal.
91.5
.
in
so
much
that
the
life
of
man
is
rather
calamity
then
life
.
A
good
hint
to
put
vs
in
memory
of
the
fal
in
Paradise
,
and
of
the
transgression
against
Gods
precept
,
Gen.
3.16
.
Multiplicabo
aerumnas
tuas
;
I
will
greatly
increase
thy
sorrowes
.
Secondly
,
to
point
backe
vnto
the
History
going
before
,
which
well
eyed
and
carefully
obserued
will
shew
that
this
good
Lady
led
a
carefull
life
all
the
dayes
of
her
life
.
First
,
if
she
were
the
daughter
of
Haran
,
which
is
the
currant
and
receiued
opinion
of
all
the
Iewes
,
then
was
she
an
Orphan
and
fatherlesse
almost
as
soone
as
she
was
borne
:
Gen.
11.27
.
No
sooner
borne
but
subiect
to
the
crosse
.
Secondly
,
when
she
came
to
womans
estate
,
then
is
she
likewise
made
subiect
to
affliction
,
she
is
barren
&
childlesse
,
a
great
crosse
,
yea
in
those
dayes
reputed
a
curse
,
that
she
cannot
bear

Thirdly
,
constrained
to
forsake
her
house
and
home
,
kindred
and
country
;
Gen.
12.1
.
and
for
the
space
of
62.
yeares
to
liue
a
Pilgrime
.
Fourthly
,
in
this
pilgrimage
she
felt
the
smart
of
want
and
famine
,
Gen.
12.10
.
Fiftly
,
in
Aegypt
Gen.
12.15
.
as
also
in
Palestina
,
Gen.
20.4
.
she
was
in
hazzard
of
her
honour
,
the
woman
Iewell
,
Chastitie
.
Sixtly
,
her
Lord
goeth
to
a
dangerous
war
against
foure
mighty
Monarches
:
Gen.
14.14
.
Seauenthly
,
she
was
incumbred
with
domesticall
dissentions
,
ouertopped
by
her
owne
seruant
,
no
small
vexation
,
Gen.
16.14
.
Where
by
the
way
in
a
short
passage
obserue
,
that
domesticall
dissentions
are
not
alwayes
a
curse
though
euer
a
crosse
.
Eightly
,
shee
was
not
free
from
spirituall
temptations
,
long
did
faith
and
frailty
wrastle
and
striue
,
whether
the
God
of
heauen
who
is
faithfull
and
true
and
cannot
lye
,
were
true
of
his
word
concerning
the
promised
Seed
.
So
that
with
Moses
she
might
truely
say
:
Psal.
90.10
.
Optimum
in
vita
labor
&
dolor
.
The
best
day
she
saw
dawne
was
full
of
labour
and
sorrow
.
From
all
which
learne
this
lesson
,
and
yee
may
write
on
the
truth
thereof
;
Nulla
calamitas
sola
,
No
misery
is
alone
:
but
(
like
the
waues
of
the
Sea
)
one
followes
in
the
neck
of
another
:
neuer
let
vs
look
for
rest
in
this
miserable
life
,
till
wee
come
to
rest
with
Christ
Iesus
in
the
world
to
come
.
To
conclude
this
point
,
because
that
they
who
in
their
life
see
and
feele
many
sorrowes
,
are
accustomed
to
obserue
the
time
best
,
and
(
as
it
were
)
tell
the
houres
thereof
;
Iob
7.2.3
.
Therefore
Moses
doth
not
set
down
her
yeares
in
grosse
,
but
draweth
them
out
at
length
:
q.
d.
Sarahs
life
and
dayes
were
not
so
short
,
that
she
forgat
them
,
but
God
did
so
remarkeably
marke
them
forth
with
one
misery
or
another
,
that
she
might
easily
count
them
on
her
fingers
ends
.
That
which
hapned
to
Sarah
is
or
may
be
likewise
incident
to
all
the
godly
:

In
the
booke
of

chapter
the
15.
verse

there
is
this
passage
,
Ibi

Ther
God
made
the
Israelites
an
ordinance
and
a
Law
.
Ibi

&
quod

Hitherto
of
the
quality
of
Sarahs
dayes
,
now
of
the
quantity
&
continuance
of
the
same
namely
,
127
Although
this
noble
and
vertuous
Lady
endured
many
a
sharpe
shower
,
yet
neuerthelesse
the
Lord
continued
the
thread
of
her
life
for
many
a
faire
yeare
:
To
make
manifest
to
all

,
that
the
Lord
preserued
her
life
in
the
midst
of

,
Psal.
23.4
.
If
euer
any
afflictions
could
haue
hastned
the
death
of
any
,
then
might
they
haue
hastned
hers
,
who
for
the

lesse

was
continually
subiect
to
one
calamity
or
another
:
In
so
much
that
it
may
seem
the
worlds
wonder
;
how

was
able
so
long
to
endure
.
But

To
conclude
,
though
Sarahs
life
was
replenished
with
a
world
of
woes
,
yet
did
it
not
want
some
singular
comforts
.
For
this
vertuous
Lady
liued
after
the
birth
of
her
sonne
Isaac
(
as
appeareth
Gen.
17.17
)
the
space
of
36.
yeares
.
The
Lord
Gods
good
pleasure
was
,
that
for
some
good
space
shee
might
fol
ce
her selfe
with
that
childe
so
greatly
wished
,
so
long
expected
,
and
so
often
promised
.
Thus
the
good
God
of
heauen
suffereth
not
his
seruants
to
depart
out
of
this
life
without
some
especial
comfort
,
which
sweetneth
and
mitigateth
all
other
sorrowes
.
The
currant
of
the
Scriptures
is
plentifull
to
proue
this
point
,
Psal.
42.11
.
In
the
multitude
of
the
sorrowes
that
were
in
my
heart
(
saith
Dauid
)
thy
comforts
(
Lord
)
haue
refreshed
my
soule
.
Shewing
that
as
the
world
had
a
multitude
of
sorrowes
to
assault
Dauid
,
so
God
had
a
multitude
of
comforts
to
refresh
his
heart
.
As
our
sufferings
abound
,
so
consolations
abound
,

At
Hebron
the
dayes
of
misery
haue
an
end
.
And
to
take
a
suruey
of
this
Hebron
.
This
City
had
three
names
:
At
the
first
it
was
called
Mamree
of
the
name
of
the
first
founder
and
builder
of
it
,
Gen.
13.18
.
Afterwards
it
was
called
Kiriath-arba
,
of
one
Arba
a
great
man
among
the
Anakims
,
who
repaired
the
same
,
Iosh.
14.14
.
and
15.14
.
Lastly
it
was
called
Hebron
of
the
nephew
of
faithfull
Caleb
,
1
Chro.
2.4.2
.
It
is
most
certaine
that
at
this
time
it
was
the
Metropolitan
and
Lady
City
of
the
whole
land
,
hauing
vnder
it
many
other
Cities
,
Iosh.
10.37
.
As
it
is
said
of
Sion
,
Psal.
87.3
.
So
it
may
in
some
sort
be
said
of
Hebron
,
glorious
things
are
spoken
of
it
.
First
,
Antiquity
,
Num.
13.23
.
it
was
an
ancient
City
,
seauen
yeares
ancienter
then
Zoan
in
Aegypt
.
Secondly
,
it
was
a
Princely
City
,
euen
a
mansion
for
a
King
,
Io.
10.3
.
Thirdly
,
it
was
for
Calebs
worthy
seruice
giuen
to
him
for
an
inheritance
,
Iosh.
14.14
.
Fourthly
,
it
was
appointed
for
one
of
the
Cities
of
refuge
,
and
giuen
for
the
Leuites
to
dwell
in
,
Iosh.
20.7
.

21.11.12
.
Fiftly
,
in
it
Dauid
first
reigned
ouer
Gods
people
,
2
Sam.
2.1.11
.
Sixtly
,
to
this
came
the
blessed
Virgin
the
mother
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
to
visit
Elizabeth
,
Luke
1.39
.
Lastly
,
it
became
a
place
of
buriall
for
many
worthy
persons
,
2
Sam.
4.12
.
Here
was
buried
Abraham
and
his
Sarah
,
Gen.
23.2
.
Isaac
and
his
Rebecca
,
Iacob
and
his
Leah
,
Gen.
49.31
.
The
first
letters
of
the
principall
of
all
their
names
,
who
were
buried
in
one
graue
,
are
contained
in
that
one
name
of
Israel
.
And
in
this
place
some
affirme
was
buried
great
Adam
the
first
Father
of
vs
all
.
The
obseruation
which
I
collect
is
,
that
sinne
and
sinners
staine
,
pollute
and
defile
all
things
,
Gen.
6.7
.
Rom.
8.20
.
yea
maketh
each
place
where
they
come
a
hell
,
What
hath
the
spirit
of
God
obserued
concerning
the
death
of
this
worthy
personage
?
Here
is
neuer
a
word
of
the
disease
whereof
she
dyed
:
not
a
word
of
the
last
words
which
she
spake
,
which
questionlesse
were
comfortable
,
holy
,
and
heauenly
.
But
the
holy
Ghost
windeth
vp
all
in
three
or
foure
words
,
Mortua
est
in
Hebron
,
leauing
the
rest
to
our
further
consideration
.
These
words
,
Mortua
est
,
shee
died
in
Hebron
wisheth
vs
to
meditate
vpon
the
precedent
history
:
It
is
well
knowne
to
all
such
as
are
conuersant
and
exercised
in
the
holy
Story
,
the
blessed
Bible
and
booke
of
God
;
that
the
mother
of
the
faithful
,
Sarah
bare
her
sonne
Isaac
at
Beersheba
,
thirty
seauen
yeares
before
her
death
,
Gen.
17.17
.
compared
with
Gen.
21.2
.
As
also
that
at
Beersheba
,
Abimelech
made
a
league
with
Abraham
,
the
tenure
whereof
was
:
That
the
one
should
not
hurt
the
other
,
Gen.
21.23
.
Hereupon
Abraham
supposing
hee
should
set
vp
his
staffe
,
rest
for
euer
,
and
lay
his
bones
,
did
there
plant
a
groue
,
Gen.
21.33.4
.
And
when
the
Lord
by
especiall
commandement
sent
him
to
mount
Moriah
to
offer
his
sonne
,
for
tryall
of
his
faith
and
obedience
,
Gen.
22.2
.
he
returned
backe
to
Beersheba
,
and
there
dwelt
,
Gen.
22.19
.
Yet
for
all
this
,
Sarah
dyeth
not
there
,
but
dyeth
at
Hebron
,
certaine
miles
distant
from
it
.
It
is
very
probable
that
after
the
death
of
Abimelech
that
good
and
moderate
King
,
the
inhabitants
brake
the
league
before
made
,
&
troubled
Abraham
,
in
so
much
that
now
in
his
old
age
,
when
more
then
one
foot
was
in
the
graue
,
this
godly
aged
gray-headed
man
,
with
his
aged
wife
,
are
constrained
to
seeke
a
new
seate

The
profitable
vses
we
are
to
make
,
are
:
First
,
if
the
like
happen
to
any
other
,
that
the
Lord
vouchsafe
them
not
to
die
in
their
own
country
,
or
among
their
owne
nearest
and
dearest
friends
,
wanting
them
to
close
vp
their
dying
eyes
,
and
performe
the
duties
and
offices
of
loue
,
let
it
not
be
imputed
as
any
signe
of
Gods
heauy
and
fearfull
wrath
,
for
though
friends
be
absent
,
yet
the
best
friends
,
God
and
his
Christ
,
to
the
faithfull
are
euer
present
:
And
when
all
forsake
,
yet
they
neuer
forsake
,
Psal.
27.10
.
and
heauen
is
no
more
remote
from
one
place
then
from
another
.
Againe
the
consideration
of
that
which
hath
bin
deliuered
,
may
be
vnto
all
a
continuall
memoriall
of

:
It

left
(

)
the

carrie
me
beyond

out

standing

that

haue
the

shew

who
was
no

glory
to

So
from
my
heart
I
wish
,
that
in
the
performance
of
this
last
duty
,
she
might
haue
beene
honoured
with
the
paines
of
some
graue
godly
Augustine
,
some
powerfull
preaching

,
or
some

tongued

that
as
shee
was

said
of
Othniel
a
good
Iudge
in
Israel
,
Iudg.
3.11
.
That
hee
died
,
because
(
saith
the
glosse
)
Indignus
erat

habere
talem
principem
,
Such
a
sinfull
and
vnthankfull
people
were
vnworthy
to
haue
so
worthy
a
prince
.
So
may
I
truely
say
,
we
haue
lost
a
worthy
peere
,
pulchra
,
prudens
,
pudica
,
pia
:
she
was
of
comely
personage
,
of
discreet
and
wise
carriage
,
she
was
loyall
to
her
Lords
bed
,
and
louing
to
his
friends
:
And
for
her
piety
,
I
know
most
certainely
,
that
shee
had
more
holinesse
inwardly
,
then
she
euer
shewed
outwardly
:
her
diet
was
moderate
,
her
apparell
modest
and
onely
needfull
for
her
estate
,
comely
it
was
rather
then
costly
:
all
yee
of
that
sexe

and
when
ye
haue
read
it

,
let
me
intreat
you
to
reade
it
ouer
againe
,
there
you
shall
see
what
vertues
the
Apostle
requireth
at
your
hands
,
and
if
you
desire
to
haue
an
example
to
illustrate
the
Apostles
doctrine
,
come
hither
and
behold
them
here
intombed
:
And
in
no
one
thing
did
she
more
excell
her selfe
then
in
the
religious
and
vertuous
education
of
her
noble
children
,
seasoning
them
to
the
great
good
I
hope
of
this
kingdome
in
the
flower

This
good
gracious
Lady
,
one
of
the
daughters
of
the
faithfull
,
was
for
all
the

like
Sarah
the

of

:
For
from

subiect
to

I
may
wel

truly
say
,
Ipsius

pertransiuit

:
Many
a
sharpe
sword
of
sorrow
pierced
through
her
heart
and
soule

Now
at
her
end
without
the
comfortable
presence
of
her
honorable
Lord
,
without
the
comfortable
presence
of
her
Isaac
,
her
sonne
of
ioy
and
comfort
,
whom
the
great
God
of
heauen
make
heire
of
all
his

vertues

graces
,
and
(
if
it
be
his

will
)
turne
from
him
all
their
miseries
and
calamities
,
and
make
his
name
more
famous
then
euer
theirs
was
.
But
will
some
say
,
thus
to
be
crossed
is
to
be
cursed
:
Cursed

To

bin
the
ruine
of
many
of
his
Maiesties
Subiects
,
the
wasting
of
their

losse

in
these
parts
:
I
wish
the
worshipfull
Iustices
would
be
pleased
to

eare
to
these
my
requests
:
First
,
That
no
Ale-house
be
suffered
vpon
the
edge
of
Commons
,
and
in
obscure
places
,
where
Rogues
,
and
Theeues
may
resort
.
Secondly
,
not
to
licence
any
in
a
village
,
when
the
Minister
thereof
and
all
the
whole
Parish
shall
think
it
vnfit
.
Thirdly
,
not
to
licence
any
,
who
hath
iustly
stood
for
misdemeanours
excommunicated
a
yeare
or
two
.
Fourthly
,
when
the
abuse
shall
grow
so
great
,
that
poore
women
out
of
the
anguish
of
their
soules
shall
craue
ayde
,
that
their
husbands
may
not
spend
all
at
the
pot
,
and
they
statue
,
that
then
there
be
made
some
redresse
.
Lastly
,
that
painfull
Preachers
or
other
Officers
may
be
heard
,
and
not
checked
,
when
they
iustly
complain
at
your
Benches
against
such
places
as
suffer
drinking
,
carding
and
fighting
vpon
the
Sabbath
dayes
in
the
time
of
Diuine
Seruice
.
If
these
requests
be
iust
and
good
,
I
request
you
harken
vnto
them
.
.
Consider
that
here
lyeth
a
Saint

which
was

I
will
make
now
the
conclusion
of

my
Sermon

Now
the
God
of

that
brought
again
from
the
dead

Lord
Iesus
,
that
great
Shepheard
of
the
Sheep

through
the

make
you
perfect
in
euery
good
worke
to
do
his
will

working
in
you
that
which
is
well
pleasing
in
his
sight

through

to
whom
be
