Read the passage.

that murmur, soon replies, “god doth not need
either man’s work or his own gifts; who best
bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. his state
is kingly. thousands at his bidding speed
and post o’er land and ocean without rest:
they also serve who only stand and wait.”

third person

explanation:

note the usage of names and pronouns, "james" & "the old man". this alone can confirm it as third person, as first person uses "i" and the like, while second person uses "you" and the like.
