Matthew20:27

Verse 27. Let him be your servant] This is the ready way to rise. Neither may any think himself too good to serve the Saints, to wash their feet, to minister to their necessities. Christ came out of the bosome of his Father to fetch them to heaven. The holy Ghost disdains not to dwell in their hearts. Angels are desirous to do them any good office. Prophets think not much to minister to them, 1 Pet. 1. 12. Paul and Apollo and Cephas are theirs, publike servants to the Church; accounting it a far greater matter prodesse quàm praeesse, to seek mens salvation, then to exercise dominion.
