and the like Paul required in such as are called to the ministry, besides other like furniture: 1which giveth us great cause of mourning, when we see the contrary: and of rejoicing, where these virtues are to be seen and found in them, who are put in trust. And such should executors of wills, and schoolmasters be, into whose hands men are constrained to put their children, and goods; and comprimitters of cases betwixt neighbours, should be like unto them, who are trusted with much oftentimes. And this honour, honest and 2faithful men have with many, that in judging of matters, they will, if their case be good, desire to have such to give their sentence, and judgement for them in their doubtful causes rather then others, though they set not greatly by religion themselves. And this ought to encourage us all, to labour for Gods graces, seeing they make a man stand before the honourable: though money, favour, or other respects are the chief gifts which most obtain great places by.
