4 O prize God's faithful Servants then, Who do enrich your Souls! O value them above all Men, And be no longer Fools
4 O prize God's faithful Servants then, Who do inrich your Souls! O value them above all Men, And be no longer Fools
5 To grieve them, and to wear them out By any means, if ye Would ever, in the Judgement-day Christ's face with comfort see;
6 For as you 'steem or dis-esteem True Preachers of God's Word, Christ looks upon't as done to him, Like measures will award;
7 And you whom God doth Vessels make His Treasure to retain, See that you seek his Praise always, And don't his Glory stain.
