Excerpt from The Whole Works of the Right Rev. Jeremy Taylor, D.D, Vol. 5 of 15: Lord Bishop of Down, Connor, and Dromore: With a Life of the Author, and a Critical Examination of His Writings
My lord, your great nobleness and religious charity hath taken from me some portions of that glory which I designed to myself in imitation of St. Paul towards the Corinthian church, who esteemed it his honour to preach to them without a revenue: and though also like him I have a trade, by which as I can be more useful to others, and less burdensome to you: yet to you also, under God, I owe the quiet and the opportunities and circumstances of that, as if God had so interweaved the support of my affairs with your charity, that He would have no advantages pass upon me but by your interest; and that I should expect no reward of the issues of my calling, unless your lordship have a share in the blessing.
