To hate thy self, that shalt thou get, if thou considerest thine own sins and the deep damnation that long thereto, with due repentance. And to love, that thou shalt obtain, if thou behold the great and infinite mercy of God with strong faith.

Thou must bring all under obedience whether by fair means or foul. Thou must have obedience of thy wife, of thy servants, and of thy subjects: and the other must obey.
