And because some are this date to be admitted into this office, let us pray unto God for them that god will allow them, that he will give them hearts to conceive, and tongues to speak the trueth of God, that they may be the servants of Christ, and disposers of the mysteries of God: that they may be the salt of the earth, and the light of the world: that they may lay out the Lords money to his advantage: and 1so it may be said unto them: Thou hast been faithful in little, I will make thee ruler over much, enter into thy masters joy.
