’Tis Good to be sure, where our Salvation is at Stake; and to run no more
Risque of the Main Chance, then of Necessity Must. What needs any Man
make his Court to the Servant, when his Access is Open to the Master? And
especially when that Master is as ready to Give, as the Petitioners to
Ask. A Wise Man will take the Nearest and the Surest Way to his Journey’s
End; and Commit no Bus’ness of Importance to a Proxy, where he may do’t
Himself.
