An aged man, whose youth hath been indifferently well ordered, hath great cause to bless Gods name that gave him not over to the licentiousness of that age. And all you that be servants, must pray to God that he would make you good and conscionable servants, that not alone out of love to your own reputation, and a desire to thrive in the world, that you may be painful and trusty, but out of a desire and intention to please God in your places and callings; for S. Paul would have servants to remember, that They serve the Lord Christ, and To look unto the immortal inheritance, with which he will reward them, as well as those that serve him in higher callings.
