That he came to the Grave as a Shocke of Corne cometh in his season Abraham before he dyed was a good old Man his goodness stands upon record in these four particulars First In his meek and peaceable disposition towards men as appeared in that he would rather remit of his right than stand to contend with his Cousen Lot Gen. 13.9 And this disposition was in our Friend I know it in one particular my selfe Secondly Abraham acknowledged that of whatsoever he possessed God was the Lord by paying into the hands of his Priest his tribute of Tythes Gen. 14.20 And this Reverence to God the Lord had taught this Son of Abraham here departed He never would dare to rob God of what he claimed as peculiar to himself He alwayes made a conscience of paying that to the Stewards of the mysteries of God which the Apostle cals 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1.
