He that serves the Devil, serves his Enemy; and this is a miserable service. Sure it was a lamentable preposterous sight,1 that Solomon saw. Eccle. 10. I have seen Servants upon Horses, and Princes walking as Servants upon the Earth. And Agur numbers it among those four things,2 whereby the World is disquieted: A Servant when he reigneth, and a Fool when he is filled with Meat: an odious woman, when she is married, and a handmaid that is heir to her Mistress.
He that serues the Diuell, serues his Enemie; and this is a miserable seruice. Sure it was a lamentable preposterous sight,1 that Salomon saw. Eccle. 10. I haue seene Seruants vpon Horses, and Princes walking as Seruants vpon the Earth. And Agur numbers it among those foure things,2 whereby the World is disquieted: A Seruant when he raigneth, and a Foole when he is filled with Meate: an odious woman, when she is marryed, and a handmaid that is heire to her Mistres.
