that_o your_o money_n wages_n and_o provision_n may_v be_v a_o supply_n for_o their_o indigency_n and_o their_o work_n and_o service_n a_o supply_n for_o your_o inability_n to_o discharge_v your_o

servant_n be_v more_o necessary_a than_o those_o in_o country-village_n other_o wear_v fine_a livery_n feed_v high_o and_o lie_v easy_o but_o the_o labour_n of_o the_o country_n servant_n be_v of_o

there_o be_v a_o text_n that_o seem_v to_o oppose_v the_o servant_n call_v and_o the_o lawfulness_n thereof_o it_o be_v 1_o cor._n 7.23_o you_o be_v buy_v with_o the_o price_n be_v you_o not_o the_o

frequent_o call_v servant_n to_o their_o duty_n and_o instruct_v they_o better_a in_o it_o and_o though_o we_o be_v tell_v that_o believer_n be_v all_o one_o in_o christ_n jesus_n gal._n 3_o 28._o
