To me there are but two wayes known, by which
Men may speed well or ill, grow poor or rich;
To wit, by prosecuting Good or Evil,
By cleaving close to God, or to the Devil
And, they are two such Masterships, that, neither
Is pleas'd with him, who serves them both together;
Because, what is endeavour'd for the one
Obstructs what for the other shall be done.
Presuming therefore, you depend alone
On him, whom I serve, thus proceed I on.
