37 'Tis greater honour for any to be Gods servants, than 'tis that a great many, and many great men are at their service. When David would have built the Temple, saith God to the Prophet, Go tell my servant David, 2 Sam. 7.5. but when David had sinned in the matter of Uriah, 'tis only said, the Lord sent Nathan unto David, 2 Sam. 12.1. the Title of honour my servant is left out. Our honour dies when we live in and unto sin: God will not honour them with the Name of his servants, who dishonour him by serving their own lusts, Rom. 6.16, — 20.
