Fourthly, thy Love to the Brethren is true and sincere, when it puts forth it self in all thy relations, when a man desires to choose a wife that fears God, and a woman desires to marry none who is not godly; when a Master seeks godly ⟨p. 275⟩servants, and a servant seeks a godly master; when a people choose godly Ministers, and godly Magistrates, godly Commanders and Officers of Armies, &c. And again, Magistrates, Commanders, Ministers, love, countenance, encourage and strengthen the hands of such under their Charge, as are godly: when a man if he be to choose a friend to consult with, yea if he were but to choose a Lodging where he is a sojourner, he desires and seeks after a godly Friend, a godly Family, &c.
