Paul & the other Apostles in all their Epistles call them selves the servants of God, because unto the uttermost of their power they ever fulfilled those thin ⟨image 73⟩ges that were enjoined them of god. For it becometh a servant to fulfil his masters commandment, & not to work after his own fancy, so may he be bold to appear in his masters sight, when so ever he be called, & to ask that which his master hath promised him. In like man ner if we will be counted & so proved the servants of God unfeignedly, we must earnestly consider every man according to his call lynge, what God hath commanded us in his holy law, and that we must labour unto the uttermost of our power for to fulfil, or else we are no true servants of God.

For not every 2one that saith unto me, Lord Lord shall enter into the kingdom of he uē, but he that doth the will of my father, which is in heaven.
