6. A servant is satisfied with his Masters §6allowance; he doth not say, I will have such provisions made ready, if he hath short commons he doth not find fault; he knows he is a servant, and is at his Masters carving: In this sense a godly man is Gods servant; he is willing to be at Gods allowance; if he hath but some leavings he doth not grumble. Paul knew he was a servant, therefore whether more or less fell to his share, he was indifferent, Phil. 4. When Christians murmur at their condition, they forget that they are servants, and must be at the allowance ⟨p. 46⟩of their Heavenly Master: Thou that hast the least bit from God, wilt die in his debt.
