It was before the Lord In his presence and service, which, though contemptible to thee, is and ever shall be honourable in my eyes. Who chose me before thy father Who took away the honour from him and his, and transferred it unto me, whereby he hath obliged me to love and serve him with all my might. I will yet be more vile than thus The more we are vilified for well-doing, the more resolute therein we should be, binding our religion the closer to us, for the endeavours of Satan's agents to shame us out of it. And will be base I will always be ready to abase myself before God, and think nothing too mean to stoop to for his honour. Of them I shall be had in honour So far will they be from despising me on this account, that they will honour me the more.
