9. The princes’ word should be unquestionable. They are noblest in rank and mightiest in power, and yet as a rule princes are not one whir more reliable than the rest of mankind. In many troubles they cannot help us to the least degree; for instance, in sickness, bereavement, or death; neither can they assist us one jot in reference to our eternal state. The favor of princes is notoriously fickle. He who puts his confidence in God, the great King, is thereby made mentally and spiritually stronger, and rises to the highest dignity of manhood; in fact, the more he trusts the more is he free, but the fawning sycophant of greatness is meaner than the dirt he treads upon.
