And therefore should serve him, by whose will we are placed in that standing. Let every man consider, who placed me here? God; if a hair cannot fall from my head without his providence, much less can the disposing of my calling which is a greater matter: therefore I will seek his glory, and frame my self and courses answerable to the will of him, by whose will I am in this place.
And therefore should serve him, by whose will we are placed in that standing. Let every man consider, who placed me here? God; if a hair cannot fall from my head without his providence, much lesse can the disposing of my calling which is a greater matter: therefore I will seek his glory, and frame my self and courses answerable to the will of him, by whose will I am in this place.
Men have not their callings, only to get riches, and to get preferment, those are base ends of their own to serve themselves. God placeth us in our particular callings, not to serve our selves, but to serve him: and he will cast in those riches, honour, preferment, dignity, and esteem, so much as is fit for us in the serving of him in our places.
