A. Gods will is to be preferred before all others. Thisa Joseph, bDaniel, andc his three Companions, thed Apostles and many others well observed, when they refused to yield to mans will against Gods: and eDavid, fPaul, andg Christ, when they submitted their own wills,8 to Gods, in such things as if it had been the will of God, they could have desired to have been otherwise. Among others, the example of Christ is to be observed, because he was a Son, and we are but servants. If the Son yielded to do the will of his Father, how much more ought the servant to yield to do the will of his Master.
