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.

21. A great man having injured a Philosopher, se•t his servant to entreat or charge him that he would not write against him; by whom •e returned this answer, that he was not at leisure to think of him. Oh sweet living, when injuries intermeddle not with the soul, but it can enjoy it self, and employ it self without disturbance.
