Companions of the Way (Morning)Henceforth I call you not servants, but I have called you friends.
IT is lowness and imperfection in Religion, to drudge in it; and every Man drudges in Religion that takes up Religion as a Task, carries it as a Burden; and doth it, because he must do it, or because his Superiors require it of him, or because time, and place, and custom calls for it; because the Day requires it, or because it is such an Hour, because he is now up, or because he must now go to bed. If this be the best Motive a Man hath, his Religion is a Burthen. But they who are come to any growth in Religion, are free-spirited in it, and do it with inward Satisfaction, Pleasure and Content; they harmonise with it.
