Youth, Your most Humble Servant; I must confess I have read and heard much of you, but why do you choose to take up your lodging in my House, there being many Grave and Ancient Gentlemen near? I know not but you seem to be one whose Company would better suit Men of Riper Years.
Godly. Sir, my Master gave me orders to commend his Princely Grace and Favour unto you (if ⟨p. 57⟩your Name is Youth,) besides, he hath chosen your House for my Lodging above others; nay and he hath made more Blessed Promises upon your kind and loving Reception of me, than he hath to any besides in the World. Have you not read that Word, I love them that love me, and they that seek me early, 1shall find me. And that Word, Seek first the Kingdom of God and his Righteousness, and all other things shall be added unto you, Matth. 6. 33.
