Gervase Babington reminds us that Moses’ exile to Midian was:
An example to teach us never to be ashamed either of banishment or any hard estate wherewith God shall exercise us for his glory, but rather to rejoice in it and comfortably to think of it, as Moses doth here. The shame is theirs that reproach us, the glory is ours, if we rightly endure it.
Gervase Babington, Comfortable notes upon the books of Exodus and Leviticus, as before upon Genesis Gathered and laid down still in this plain manner, for the good of them that cannot use better helps, and yet are careful to read the Scriptures, and very desirous to find the comfort in them. ... With a table of the principal matters contained in this book (London: Thomas Chard, 1604), p. 27.
