And there was prepared me daily an ox, and six chosen sheep, and birds, and once in every ten days a great sum of wine.

other unto rulers, as unto them that are sent of him, for the punishment of evil doers: but for the laud of them that well do. For so is the will of God, that ye put to silence the ignorance of the foolish men: as free, and not as having the liberty for a cloak of maliciousness: but even as the servants of God. See that ye honour all men. Love brotherly fellowship, fear God, and honour the King. Servants obey your masters with all fear, not only if they be good and courteous: but also though they be froward.
