Wherefore also, when Sarah\r\nwas jealous at Hagar being preferred to her, Abraham, as choosing only\r\nwhat was profitable in secular philosophy, said, “Behold, thy maid is\r\nin thine hands: deal with her as it pleases thee;”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_860\" id=\"FNanchor_860\">[860]</a> manifestly\r\nmeaning, “I embrace secular culture as youthful, and a handmaid; but\r\nthy knowledge I honour and reverence as true wife.” And Sarah afflicted\r\nher; which is equivalent to corrected and admonished her. It has\r\ntherefore been well said, “My son, despise not thou the correction of\r\nGod; nor faint when thou art rebuked of Him. For whom the Lord loveth\r\nHe chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_861\" id=\"FNanchor_861\">[861]</a> And\r\nthe foresaid Scriptures, when examined in other places, will be seen\r\nto exhibit other mysteries.
