It is no less the Duty of a Minister, than of other Men, to provide for his Family,1 and (what lies in him) to take care of his Wife and Children, that they may not be exposed to a thousand Miseries and Temptations, when he is gone. I confess, of all Men in the World, a covetous, raking Temper worst becomes a Minister: But we greatly mistake, if we think he must devest himself of the due Affection of an Husband towards his Wife, or of a Father towards his Children; or, that those Fruits thereof, which are justly esteemed commendable in others, should be a Fault in him.
