Say to the learned man, to the wise man, and to the man whom God hath endued with worldly power: what hast thou, that thou hast not received? be not high minded. It is the gift of God. It is not thine. Thou shalt give a reckoning of all that thou hast received. Abuse it not to the dishonour of God. It is of charity that I speak unto thee. Thou art my brother, God hath a care over thee: it is his will, that one of us should exhort an other. Oh why should thy life give offence to any man? why should the name of God be il spoken of through thee? He hath made thee to be a vessel of honour, thou belongest to his fold, why shouldest thou be lost, and perish in thy wilfulness?
