1 Tim. 6.1. Let the servants that are under the yoke, count their own Masters worthy of all honour; that the Name of God, and his doctrine be not blasphemed. Let Christian servants honour their unchristened Masters; lest their rebellion be laid as •n imputation upon God, and as a blasphemy upon religion. And the same Apostle says that even servants may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things, •it. 2.10. The lowest condition, blessed with an honest conversation, may grace the Gospel. Often it is true, that mundo infimus may be Deo intimus: the lowest in the worlds eye, the highest in Gods estimation. While superstition dwelt in this land, •ow was it adorned! the garments of an Idol cost hundreds; and the appurtenances to some, thousands: men gave their estates, as the Israelites their ear-rings and •ost precious Jewels, to make a golden calf. Now the Truth is advanced among •s, we are so far from adorning it, that we shame it.
