"No man can be the bondservant of two masters; for either he will dislike one and like the other, or he will attach himself to one and think slightingly of the other. You cannot be the bondservants both of God and of gold.

If we reach the fishing by this day twelvemonth we shall have done well." "I fear me the Adventurers of whom you speak so slightingly will hardly be of your mind," replied Winslow coldly. "Then let them come over here and collect their profits for themselves," retorted Standish.
