If thou hast run with the footmen, (your equals) and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan? If you have not been equal to duty in sunny hours, and quiet places, how will it be with you when the streams ...
