They are also very much worthy of praise, which do for this cause only travail into other countries to profit others, and to help and deliver them from the miseries wherewith they be oppressed. After which sort the Poets have said that Hercules wandered through the world,1 by his might to destroy wicked and hurtful men, which miserably afflicted mankind. Neither did the Apostles travail throughout the whole world for any other cause, than to deliver men out of the mouth of the devil, and by the preaching of the Gospel to loose them from their chains of errors. Christ also for this self same cause would travail and journey among men, that by his doctrine and death he might deliver mankind from eternal destruction. Wherefore the Kenites may be numbered with these: for they also adjoined them selves companions with the Israelites, to help them through the desert. For (as it is said) they having good knowledge of those places, might stand the Jews in great stead. These counsels are plainly judged good and honest, for whose causes peregrinations which are taken without compulsion, are honest and praise worthy.
