4. Conclusion of this Chapter.

By that which is sayd, it euidently appeareth, how dangerous & pernicious this folly is, not to know wherfore we liue, and that it is a most necessary wisedome an instruction for a man to know himselfe well, and the end wherefore he was borne. And therefore we must learne, that the principall end of our life should be to encrease more and more in the knowledge of God, that in knowing him, we may glorifie him, and obtaine vnto our selues, eternall life: wherein consisteth our onely soueraigne good. And further, that euery one in his particular vocation, should bend his mind to serue God, in seruing men, whereby wee shall be induced to walke before him, in a good conscience; and as those that are bound to yeeld an accompt vnto him of al our actions, and not as before men, to please them or to get and reap vnto our selues, humane profits and commodities. If we liue in this manner, we shall bee in the way to heauen, which the effect and meaning of the diuine law of God teacheth vs, that is; to loue God, with all our hearts, and our neighbour (in God, and for the loue of God,) as our selues.
