SECONDLY, We must obey our parents, or them that be in their rooms, and be careful for our households, that they be provided for and fed, not only with bodily, but much rather with spiritual food, which is the word of God.
SECONDLY, We must obey our parents, or them that be in their rooms, and be careful for our housholds, that they be provided for and fed, not only with bodily, but much rather with spiritual food, which is the word of God.
THIRDLY, We must serve our neighbours by all means we can, remembering well the saying of Christ, "Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye likewise unto them, for this is the law and the prophets."
FOURTHLY, We must diligently exercise the necessary work of prayer for all estates: knowing that God therefore hath so much commended it, and hath made so great promises unto it, and doth so well accept. After these works, we must learn to know the cross, and what affection and mind we must bear towards our adversaries and enemies, whatsoever they be, to suffer all adversities and evils patiently, to pray for them that hurt, persecute, and trouble us; and by thus using ourselves, we shall obtain an hope and certainty of our vocation, that we be the elect children of God.
