Davantage de bonheur

Ne serait-ce pas un encouragement pour un sujet, d'entendre son prince lui dire : "Tu m'honoreras et me plairas beaucoup, si tu vas à cette mine d'or, et si tu en extrais autant d'or que tu peux en emporter" ? Ainsi, que Dieu dise : "Va aux ordonnances, obtiens autant de grâce que tu peux, creuse autant de salut que tu peux ; et plus tu auras de bonheur, plus je me compterai glorifié ! »

Would it not be an encouragement to a subject, to hear his prince say to him, “You will honor and please me very much, if you will go to yonder mine of gold, and dig as much gold for yourself as you can carry away”? So, for God to say, “Go to the ordinances, get as much grace as you can, dig out as much salvation as you can; and the more happiness you have, the more I shall count Myself glorified!”
