1. Timothy's duty, Charge those that are rich. He doth not say, flatter them, nor please them, nor humour them, nor fawn upon them, or crouch to them; nay, he doth not say what sometimes he useth to do himself, Beseech them, entreat them, persuade them; but he giveth Timothy the same power towards them, as he used towards him.

The Levites and Priests were so, They served the Lord, and his people Israel, 2 Chron. 35. 3. The Apostles themselves were so, Our selves your servants for Jesus sake, 2 Cor. 4. 5.

And he who was the Apostle, the High Priest, [Greek or Hebrew], the great, the chief Shepherd, is pleased to be called by one of the lowest appellations [Greek or Hebrew], a Deacon, a Minister of the Circumcision, Rom. 13. 8.
