VVHen men are a∣bout to bind their children to any Trade, they will commonly be carefull to know that profession wherein they may be admit∣ted with less charge, where the Professor is of good name and credit, the calling honest, and gainfull, and whereby in the end, they shall be sure to come to great preferment. Christianity is the best profession of all; and such a calling that the poorest man may be admit∣ted unto without charge.
Who is of greater credit than God? And who can choose a better mast••r to serve than his Maker? The calling is most honest and gainfull: For what greater honesty, than to do unto all men, as I would they should do unto me? And what greater gain than godliness? Lastly, having served out the time, what greater free∣dome can any have, than to be a free-man of Heaven? & what greater preferment can any wish, than to have a Crowne of glory, and life everlasting?
O Lord, this is onely my profession; I am bound to it since I was a child: How∣beit,
I have a thousaand times broken my Inden∣tures, and run away from thee, and thou hast still brought me back again and forgiven me. I am ashamed (L••rd) I have so often dis∣pleased so gentle a Master. Good Lord, forgive me for Jesus Christ's sake, Amen.
