8 Whatsoever is written, for us it is written, and if it be written for us, and for our sakes,1 Let me hear (saith David) what the Lord will say concerning me, and so we must attend to hear the Lord: what he will say concerning us. As for me, although I do but sit and mend my nets, and have no part nor fellowship in this business, being unworthy to be matriculated into the high calling of the Ministry, yet feeling my soul hath chosen the tabernacle of the Lord, for his portion, and seeing the day may come, that I may keep a door in the same, as the Lord liveth, before whom I speak, he knoweth that in his fear I speak to this end, that by mine own mouth I may be stirred up to prepare my self to this calling: and that all you as Augustine said in his case (when it was as mine is now) hearing what my desire and purpose is, may pray to God for me, that I may have power and strength given me to perform it.
