This should be a great cause that every calling should love, and not hate one another, and this I dare say, that they which do not diligently labour in some one necessary calling or other, when the day of reckoning shall come, which is the end of this life, as he lived without travel, so shall he want the reward of the Penny, the endless joys of Heaven, and be cast into Hell. Wherefore, if thou be a labouring man, do it truly; if thou be a Servant, be subject, & fear to displease thy Master for Christs sake; if thou be a Merchant, deceive not thy Brother in chaffering; if a King, defend the poor and needy; if a Judge, go not to the right hand for favour, nor to the left for hate. If thou be a Priest, instruct the ignorant, praise the obedient, and reprove the disobedient to God, for in the end of the world you shall every one have a reward, a good or a bad, then Christ will say to every of these three States, Come give a reckoning of thy Bailiwick: First, Priests that have cure of Souls shall be called, and they shall answer for themselves and others: The second is, Temporal Lords shall answer for themselves and others: The third Bailiff shall account but for himself, or at least, have less charge then the other, and every one shall answer three questions: How enterest thou? How rulest thou? How livest thou? To the Priest, how enterest thou? by Truth or Simony, God or the Devil, for that thou wouldst labour in thy calling, or for that thou wouldst be richly arrayed? Answer in thy conscience to thine offence now, or thou shalt ere it be long answer to GOD? and I ask the question, why men set their Children to school, whether for their worldly advancement, or to make them the better to know GOD and serve him? They set them to the Law, not to be Ministers of Justice, to defend the poor, but because it is a means to make them great men; therefore there be so f•w to learn the word of GOD to be Preachers, because there is no gains therein. Chrysostom ⟨p. 106⟩saith, Parents care for the bodies of their Children, but not for their souls; they desire their welfare in this world, but they pass not what they shall suffer in another; they will sore bewail the hurt of their bodies, but they reckon not much of the health of their souls, they are moved for their poverty, but not for their sin:

This should be a great cause that euery calling should loue, and not hate one another, and this I dare say, that they which doe not diligently labour in some one necessary calling or other, when the day of reckoning shall come, which is the end of this life, as he liued without trauell, so shall hee want the reward of the Penny, the endlesse ioyes of Heauen, and be cast into Hell. Wherefore, if thou be a labouring man, doe it truelie; if thou be a Seruant, be subiect, & feare to displease thy Maister for Christs sake; if thou be a Marchant, deceiue not thy Brother in chaffering; if a King, defend the poore and needy; if a Iudge, goe not to the right hand for fauour, nor to the left for hate. If thou be a Priest, instruct the ignorant, praise the obedient, and reprooue the disobedient to God, for in the end of the world you shall euery one haue a reward, a good or a bad, then Christ wil say to euery of these three States, Come giue a reckoning of thy Bayliwicke: First, Priests that haue cure of Soules shall bee called, and they shall answer for themselues and others: The second is, Temporall Lords shall answere for themselues and others: The third Baily shall account but for himselfe, or at least, haue lesse charge then the other, and euery one shall answere three questions: How entrest thou? How rulest thou? How liuest thou? To the Priest, how entrest thou? by Truth or Symony, God or the Deuill, for that thou wouldst labour in thy calling, or for that thou wouldst bee richly arrayed? Answere in thy conscience to thine offence now, or thou shalt ere it be long answere to GOD? and I aske the question, why men set their Children to schoole, whether for their worldly aduancement, or to make them the better to know GOD and serue him? They set them to the Law, not to be Ministers of Iustice, to defend the poore, but because it is a meanes to make them great men; therefore there bee so fw to learne the word of GOD to be Preachers, because there is no gaines therein. Chrysostome
