For the first, the Lord speaketh to young men and saith, Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth. Lo God desireth to have you come unto him in the prime of your age. There be some persons so young, that scarce any man will entertain them for his servants, for they be not sufficient yet to do service: but God who entertaineth servants, not to gain by their service, but to make them gainers, he will admit them into his house, and make them his servants, that are willing to be his Apprentices, as it were at 7, 8, 9 years; he rejecteth none, because they be yet but children: nay you shall see how desirous he is to be served with such, for when his disciples prohibited those that brought young Children, he reproved them, and commanded to suffer young Children to come unto him, because of such, (meaning not alone of those that be like young children, in humility, but even of young Children themselves) is the Kingdom of Heaven. Why should you be so unwilling to serve so great a Master, who is willing to accept you so young into his service?

Again, the Lord Jesus in Baptism hath made a Covenant with you, and taken you into a Covenant with himself, so that you are, as I may so say, even bound unto him as covenant servants; do not now prove run agates and breakers of your covenant.
