a_o foundation_n of_o it_o if_o to_o a_o servant_n let_v love_n and_o mildness_n so_o proceed_v as_o may_v not_o lose_v its_o distance_n for_o too_o much_o rigour_n lose_v the_o servant_n and_o too_o

go_v beyond_o enforcement_n if_o to_o a_o master_n let_v the_o stile_n be_v such_o as_o may_v demonstrate_v all_o obsequy_n and_o duty_n this_o i_o speak_v in_o respect_n of_o servant_n as_o servant_n in_o general_a not_o but_o that_o i_o know_v as_o there_o be_v difference_n and_o diverse_a degree_n of_o master_n so_o ought_v there_o several_a respect_n to_o be_v have_v to_o servant_n according_a to_o their_o place_n and_o manner_n of_o service_n for_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o think_v that_o gentleman_n in_o those_o place_n that_o may_v befit_v their_o rank_n and_o fortune_n though_o subject_a to_o their_o master_n call_v shall_v be_v tie_v to_o the_o obsequious_a term_n of_o every_o pedantic_a groom_n as_o first_o he_o that_o wait_v voluntary_a and_o at_o his_o own_o expense_n then_o

respect_n i_o say_v ought_v the_o servant_n to_o consider_v the_o relation_n or_o respect_n to_o be_v have_v according_a to_o his_o master_n rank_n his_o own_o person_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o

extraordinary_a though_o as_o i_o say_v some_o be_v tie_v to_o term_n more_o incomparable_o strict_a than_o other_o if_o we_o write_v to_o a_o parent_n our_o stile_n and_o manner_n of_o writing_n must_v be_v such_o as_o may_v show_v all_o dutiful_a respect_n and_o obedience_n exact_v from_o a_o child_n to_o a_o parent_n by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n if_o to_o a_o father_n or_o mother_n in_o law_n that_o be_v by_o marriage_n we_o will_v tender_v ourselves_o in_o such_o term_n as_o may_v profess_v service_n and_o obedience_n but_o not_o duty_n at_o least_o not_o equal_a to_o the_o former_a though_o i_o grant_v we_o ought_v to_o think_v ourselves_o tie_v in_o a_o firm_a obligation_n of_o civil_a and_o more_o than_o common_a respect_n if_o to_o a_o child_n love_n and_o care_n but_o the_o passionate_a expression_n of_o tender_a affection_n better_o fit_v a_o mother_n than_o a_o father_n for_o man_n ought_v to_o govern_v their_o affection_n by_o the_o rule_n of_o reason_n lest_o otherwise_o they_o chance_v to_o set_v a_o bad_a example_n of_o let_v loose_a the_o reins_n of_o passion_n of_o itself_o too_o apt_a to_o run_v out_o of_o one_o error_n to_o another_o in_o a_o word_n if_o to_o a_o friend_n friendly_a if_o to_o a_o adversary_n harsh_a as_o you_o think_v good_a according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o offence_n and_o quality_n of_o the_o person_n
