But now let every man learn of these three wise men to make choice of godly men for friends, familiars and allies. If a man be not himself a worshipper and servant of God, yet let him at leastwise like and love those in whom goodness shineth.1 The Centurion Julius, by being courteous and friendly to Paul who was then his prisoner gate his life and the life of his soldiers for a reward, for God gave unto Paul all the prisoners that were in the ship with him. So many blessings as a natural man is capable of, he shall assuredly obtain from God by the prayers of his servants, who cannot choose according to the precept of our Saviour, but pray for their persecutors, much more for their friends and favourers.

1Now another good thing in these three brethren is this, that according to their covenant and confederation they did afford help to Abraham and joined their strength with him, to fight against the four Kings for the recovering of Lot Abraham's Cousin, and performed their part with so much courage, that Abraham got the victory and won his brother and all the spoil of Sodom, for which also Abraham was careful that they should have a full reward, in taking their part of the booty which himself forbore to take.
