And as God hath given you this knowledge▪ so do you most diligently bestow it upon Gods people committed unto you▪ that you may not be found like to that idle & unprofitable servant, which hid the talent, that his Lord committed unto him, in the ground: but rather like to that good and diligent servant, which with five talents, that his Master delivered him, won other five.1 and therefore heard of his Masters mouth this most sweet and comfortable voice: Well thou good and faithful servant: Thou haste been faithful over few things. I will make thee ruler over many things.2 Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.
