What Caesar once said of his wife, That it was not enough for her to be without fault, but she should be without all suspicion of fault. may well be applied to Ministers, who of all men in the world should be most free from the very appearances of evil. The lives of Ministers oftentimes do convince more strongly, then their words; their tongues may persuade, but their lives command.

Talk not of a good life (said the Heathen) but let thy life 1speak. God appointed that both the weights and measures of the Sanctuary, should be twice as large as those of the Common-wealth, to show, that he expects much more of those that do wait upon him in the Sanctuary, then he doth of others. Ministers should be like Musk among linen, which casts a fragrant smell; or like that box of Spikenard, which being broken open, filled the house with its odour.
