godly_a seruamt_n for_o the_o liberal_a disposition_n of_o a_o child_n be_v easy_o spill_v with_o the_o lewd_a manner_n of_o a_o servant_n hence_o it_o come_v that_o almost_o their_o first_o word_n

day_n so_o we_o have_v our_o duty_n to_o perform_v on_o the_o week_n day_n also_o for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o any_o man_n to_o give_v his_o family_n victual_n and_o provision_n one_o day_n in_o the_o week_n and_o let_v they_o fast_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o week_n after_o for_o so_o he_o shall_v soon_o make_v a_o lean_a household_n but_o we_o must_v deal_v with_o our_o servant_n

of_o sanctimony_n and_o godliness_n here_o i_o think_v it_o needful_a for_o every_o one_o of_o we_o as_o we_o be_v yet_o servant_n to_o know_v our_o duty_n also_o that_o we_o may_v demean_v ourselves_o agreeable_o to_o our_o present_a condition_n duty_n servant_n duty_n first_o then_o we_o be_v to_o follow_v the_o counsel_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o be_v obedient_a unto_o our_o bodily_a

not_o only_o to_o carry_v a_o reverend_a estimation_n of_o they_o count_v they_o worthy_a of_o all_o honour_n but_o to_o perform_v our_o duty_n and_o service_n unto_o they_o not_o to_o the_o eye_n as_o man_n pleaser_n but_o as_o the_o servant_n of_o christ_n do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n himself_o singly_o and_o from_o the_o heart_n labour_v continual_o to_o please_v they_o and_o submit_v

for_o if_o a_o master_n command_v his_o servant_n to_o speak_v a_o lie_n or_o to_o swear_v his_o commodity_n cost_v so_o much_o when_o they_o cost_v much_o less_o or_o to_o break_v the_o lord_n sabbath_n in_o such_o a_o case_n we_o ought_v rather_o to_o obey_v god_n then_o man_n but_o in_o all_o just_a and_o lawful_a imposition_n not_o cross_v their_o royal_a commandment_n we_o be_v to_o

thankworthy_a say_v saint_n peter_n if_o a_o servant_n for_o conscience_n towards_o god_n endure_v smart_n suffer_v wrongful_o but_o it_o be_v a_o great_a fault_n in_o we_o that_o be_v servant_n that_o if_o correction_n be_v give_v we_o though_o with_o justice_n and_o discretion_n we_o will_v say_v most_o common_o we_o deserve_v it_o not_o this_o be_v not_o the_o say_n of_o the_o holy_a

himself_o who_o never_o sin_v neither_o be_v there_o guile_n find_v in_o his_o mouth_n yet_o he_o be_v revile_v and_o revile_v not_o again_o he_o suffer_v beyond_o all_o degree_n of_o patience_n &_o

both_o we_o and_o they_o and_o not_o to_o answer_v sir_n i_o deserve_v it_o not_o for_o if_o correction_n shall_v not_o be_v give_v to_o the_o most_o of_o we_o till_o we_o confess_v we_o deserve_v it_o it_o shall_v never_o be_v give_v us._n here_o i_o can_v keep_v silence_n but_o i_o must_v needs_o make_v know_v how_o good_a and_o gracious_a the_o lord_n have_v show_v himself_o in_o this_o
