A10770	An exposicion in Englishe vpon the Epistle of .S. Paule, to the Colossians wherin the letter is purely declared, with many good exhortations to flee vice, and to take vertue, as shall appere clerely to the faithfull reader throughout all this epistle: written by Lancelot Ridley of Cantorbury. Anno salutis humanæ M.D.XLVIII.; Exposicion in Englishe upon the Epistle of. S. Paule to the Colossians.	Ridley, Lancelot, d. 1576.	1548 (1548)	STC 21039; ESTC S104540	65,741	282

of his wife and of hymself to prouoke his wife to anger to greue or vexe her or otherwise to dooe not his duetie to her to put her awaie and take an whore and vse company with a drabbe and a harlot contrary to Gods lawe and will whiche thyng God wil not suffre long vnpunished bee thei neuer so stoute or hye in the world But of the duetie of man and wife one to another I haue babled very largely accordyng to Gods woorde Ephe. v. as I truste and therefore I passe it lightly here in this place Children obeye youre fathers and mothers in all thinges this pleaseth God Fathers discorage not your children not to muche least thei be amased and can geue you no answere for feare He teacheth the duetie of childreÌ„ to their parentes and again of parentes that is of fathers mothers to their childreÌ„ It perteineth to childreÌ„ to be humble lowly gentle and obedieÌ„t to fathers and mothers in all thynges lawfull and honest and in all thynges that be not contrary to Goddes law and in nowise to resist to speake again theÌ„ except pareÌ„tes require vnlawful thynges it is the duetie of children to honor their fathers and mothers to help succour them and releue theim if thei maie better then father or mother when any occasion shal bee geuen to their children to be an helper and coÌ„forter to their fathers and mothers and this thyng pleaseth God better then al pilgrimages makyng giltyng of Images ye better then all the Bishoppe of Romes liyng Pardons for this is the commaundement of God the other bee not of God but of members of Goddes aduersary that is of the deuill 2 Fathers discorage not youre childreÌ„ to muche It is the duetie of fathers mothers not to discorage their childreÌ„ to muche or by their threatenyng wordes beatyng bunchyng knockyng vpon them to dawe their childreÌ„ and to make theim dawe pates so fearfull and amased that thei dare not speake a woorde nor geue a right answere and all for feare of their parentes to fearse ouer their children For as to muche pamperyng cherishyng of parentes bee the destruccion to their children so bee destruccion to children to muche fearsenes of parentes to their childreÌ„ therefore fathers and mothers must vse a moderate meane not to fearse nor yet to softe but if their children do offende theim or do a faute let them be corrected with admonicions and promises of rewardes if thei will amende and faute no more for if children should not be corrected for their fautes thei would be to wanton to shrode curssed and vnhappie and full of all euill therefore it is true that Salamon saieth Qui parcit uirge odit filium He that spareth the rod hateth the child And the Philosophier saith that an euil in the beginnyng maie sone bee remedied but if it haue long continued oft tymes it is vncurable therefore resist an euil at the beginnyng of it and so it maie the soner be healed but of these dueties that is of the parentes to their children and of children to their parentes I haue shewed my mynde more largely in the Commentarie to the EphesiaÌ„s Ephe. vi Seruauntes obey by al thynges them which are Masters after the fleshe not with seruice lowely before their iyes as you studie to please men but with simplenes of harte fearyng God And what soeuer you shall do do it of an hartines as you serued God and not manne knowyng that you shall receiue of God a reward of inheritaunce for you serue our Lorde Christe Furthermore he that hath synned shall beare his synne and there is no respect of persones before God Masters geue equitie and equalnes to your seruauÌ„tes knowing that you haue a Lorde in heauen In the former parte of this texte is taught the duetie of seruauntes to their Masters whoÌ„ thei serue in this life whom thei serue whether it bee for meate drynke apparell and wages or for those for learnyng of some honest science or for other necessary causes And in this latter part is declared thoffice of Masters to their seruauntes The duetie of seruauntes is to obeye their Masters in all lawful and honest thynges to vse them lowly and mekely to their Masters and to haue their Masters in reuerence with all diligent seruice studie to please theim not onely in their iye sight with faithfull trustie and profitable seruice studie to please their Masters but also in their absence when their Masters dooe not ouer see them This place reproueth many negligent seruauntes which will bee faithfull iuste true and diligeÌ„t in their Masters labors and busines as long as their Master is preseÌ„t and doth loke on them but if their Masters be absent or awaie from theim or do not ouer se them thei care not how litle worke thei do thei care not who dooe more then thei ye thei will bee pickyng and stealyng and liyng all suche be here reproued by the holy ghost speakyng here in saincte Paule and Ephe. vi More at large suche negligente seruauntes deceiue not onely their Masters but also theimselfes for thei displease GOD highly for seruauntes should serue their Masters here in this worlde as faithfully iustely and truely as if thei serued God for in deede thei serue God that serue their Masters as here is commaunded that is to serue theim in all veritie and truthe faithfulnes and iustice with all diligence in all humblenes of harte and mynd in woorde and deede fearyng GOD and their Masters dooyng alwaie their Masters busines to the mooste profite pleasure of their Master in GOD knowyng surely that thei so doyng serue GOD and if thei dooe not so that thei displease God when thei do not their busines as thei should do but parauenture will murmure and grudge to dooe that their Master commaundeth theim or will geue hym again a froward answere and make ouerthwarte wordes froward and stubburne or when thei go from their Masters with a dogs pater noster murmuryng with theimselfes I cannot tell what against their Master patteryng thynkyng their Master to put theÌ„ to great peines labors suche euill seruauÌ„tes there be with other that will picke steale and lye haue many naughtie coÌ„dicions whiche all are to be amended in seruauntes that seruauntes might serue and please GOD doyng their Masters lawful commauÌ„dementes and receiue of God areward better then any gold or siluer landes or possessions life eternal Whiche God geueth as well to seruauntes as Masters without respecte of persones 2 For you serue youre Lorde God This thyng should make all seruauntes to thynke all labors or peines that thei bee put to in their Masters seruice to be easy that thei seruyng their master and doyng with al gladnes and faithful diligeÌ„ce their Masters commaundement that thei serue God the father of our lord Iesu Christe what tyme soeuer it bee by daie or by nighte And who should bee werie in the seruice of God this is his true seruice as for the other

seruice of God called Goddes seruice diuised by manne let other iudge whether it be Goddes seruice or no this I am sure that the seruaunte occupied faithfully and iustely is occupied in Gods seruice And again thei that do not their Masters lawful commauÌ„demeÌ„t shall be punished of God whiche both rewardeth and punisheth without respecte of persone Let euery seruaunt do his duetie to his Master and so is God pleased 3 Masters do you equitie and al equalnes to your seruauÌ„tes You Masters doo your dueties to your seruauÌ„tes let them haue sufficient meate and drynke and other necessaries let them not be idle but set theim to some honest woorkes laye not to muche lode vpon their backes more then thei are able to beare remember that thei with you shal bee felowes in the heauenly inheritauÌ„ce Se more if you please Ephe. vi Â¶ The .iiij.
