Happy, I say, were it for Great-men, could they with themselves thus weigh well and seriously rconsider, what might stand not with the might of their power, but with the majesty of their places: and abhorring all such base and unworthy courses as may any way disparage them, endeavour so to resemble him in their whole carriage, whose person they represent, that those that see and observe them, as they cannot but be seen and are as sure to be observed, may truly say of them, as the Apostle speaketh in an other case, sCertè Deus est in vobis; Surely God is in these men: They are not unworthily termed gods and Sons of God, that in all their courses carry themselves so like unto him.
