1Let us serve, brethren, with all diligence our good Lord, as soldiers who serve under orders.
2Let us consider the soldiers who serve under our generals, with what discipline, readiness and submission they fulfill orders.
3Not all are prefects, nor commanders of a thousand, nor of a hundred, nor of fifty, nor so on; but each one in his own position fulfills the orders of the king and the generals.
4The great cannot exist without the small, nor the small without the great.
