King Saul though he was a wicked man in his end, yet he was made a great hinge of god: for what was his father: No very great man I tell you, and Saul his son went to seek his fathers asses, and so by chance because he could not find the asses he came to the Prophet Samuel, which by and by, before he departed from him, anointed him to be king over Israel, GOD commanding him so to do. Now this Saul he seeketh not for it, it came never in his heart to think that he1 should be king: in so much that he […] himself when Samuel would proclaim him king, before the whole congregation: yet for all that, he could not hide himself so, but GOD spieth him out, and so finally brought him to the kingdom.

Here ye see most manifestly that when GOD will have a thing to be done, he can send such means, whereby it must needs be done. Wherefore should now any of us go about to thrust themselves into offices without the calling of GOD? And no doubt they that […] so, they show themselves to have no saith in GOD at all, they trust not GOD, they think they shall bring all matters to pass by
