19. Aristides 'tis said was never the prouder for any honour, nor thought himself disgraced by any overthrow, b•ing always of this mind, that it was the duty of an honest Citizen to be ever ready to offer his body and life to do his Country service, without respect and hope of reward of money, or for honour and glory. 'Tis good to live above encouragements and discouragements, and to mind nothing so much as our duty.

20. A poor Scholar (Aeschines) having nothing to give his Tutor ⟨p. 283⟩(Socrates) for his pains taking with him; when others gave gifts, Sir, said he, I have nothing to give you, but if you will take me, I will bestow my self upon you. Wilt thou so, said Socrates, nay, then I will give thee thy self better, and so instructed him in Philosophy. Christ hath taken more pains for and about us, and shall we not give our selves to him? Who will give us our selves better again, and instruct us in Divinity to the saving of our souls.
