"FEAR the Lord, ye saints▪ for they that fear him lack nothing.
"WHEN the righteous cry, the Lord heareth them, and delivereth them out of all their troubles: but misfortune shall slay the ungodly, and they that hate the righteous shall perish.
"HEAR, O my people. I assure thee, O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me, there shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any other God. Oh that my people would obey me: for if Israel would walk in my ways, I should soon put down their enemies, and turn my hand against thine adversaries.
OUR Saviour Christ saith, "The disciple is not above the master, nor yet the servant above his lord. It is enough for the disciple to be as his master is and that the servant be as his lord is. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household […] fear not them therefore."
