Godliness, Nay, pray be not offended with me, I seek your profit▪ I will do you no wrong; you shall not lose any thing by me, if you will let me have a Lodging with you, though possibly you may lose something for my sake, but if you do, I will repay you again an hundred *fold in this World, and in the World to come you shall have Life Everlasting. And what though not many Mighty, and not many Noble* ones do love me, or will entertain me: 'Tis not because I do not deserve esteem from them, but because they are incensed against me by the Devil, and are so in love with Vice, my Mortal Enemy. Sir, I am abused, and rendered very odious by wicked men, as if I were a *factious, restless, and seditious Fellow, and this is one Reason why I am so slighted and contemned.
