To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I say not this to make servants remiss, but to chide our supineness, to rouse us from our sloth, that we may serve our God with as much zeal as servants do their master; our Maker, as faithfully as our fellow-creatures ^ serve us, from ^ •V«»'''- whom they have received no such gift. For they too are free by nature. To them also it was said, Let them have^^-^t dominion over the fishes. For this slavery is not from nature : it is the result of some particular cause, or circum- stances. Yet, notw...ithstanding, they pay us great honour ; and we with great strictness exact services from them, whilst to God we hardly render the smallest portion, though the advantage of it would redound to ourselves. For the more zealously we sers^e God, the greater gainers we shall be. Let us not then deprive ourselves of such important benefits. For God is self-sufficient, and wants nothing ; the recom- pense and the advantage reverts altogether to us. Let us therefore, I beseech you, be so affected, as serving not God but ourselves, and with fear and trembling let us serve Him, that we may obtain the promised blessings, through Jesus Christ our Lord, with Whom, &c.
