[ 1704] God onely to be served.

WHen the Souldiers had chosen Valentinian to be their Emperour they were consulting how they might joyn a Partner with him;* 1.1 To whom Valentinian replyed: It was in your power to give me the Empire, when I had it not; Now I have it, it is not in your power to give me a Partner. Thus if God be our God,* 1.2 Mammon must be our slave; He that is the servant of God must be Ma∣ster of his Money; If God be our King, he must be our King onely, for the Bed and the Throne brook no Rivalls,* 1.3 God must be our God alone:* 1.4 Aequum est Deos fingere, ac Deum negare, It is all one to chuse new Gods, and to deny the true God; No let the Heathens chuse new Gods, and forsake the true God, but let every good Christian say, Thou O Father of Mercy, and Lord of Heaven and Earth be my God, and my onely God for ever and ever.
