take_v away_o must_v be_v charge_v to_o they_o as_o occasion_v by_o their_o neglect_n though_o all_o servant_n be_v in_o some_o degree_n or_o other_o concern_v in_o this_o yet_o none_o more_o than_o apprentice_n who_o have_v the_o care_n of_o a_o shop_n leave_v to_o they_o and_o therefore_o if_o these_o by_o carelessness_n or_o by_o talk_v with_o companion_n or_o by_o leave_v the_o shop_n be_v the_o occasion_n of_o their_o master_n be_v defraud_v or_o rob_v they_o must_v answer_v for_o the_o wrong_n do_v since_o the_o care_n of_o good_n be_v entrust_v with_o they_o it_o be_v the_o same_o

nothing_o of_o this_o can_v be_v do_v without_o a_o evident_a injustice_n which_o though_o hide_v from_o man_n be_v know_v to_o god_n and_o will_v be_v severe_o punish_v by_o he_o even_o more_o than_o common_a theft_n since_o the_o trust_v repose_v in_o servant_n make_v their_o crime_n worse_o than_o that_o of_o robber_n five_o they_o be_v oblige_v to_o be_v just_o in_o whatever_o money_n they_o lie_v out_o for_o their_o master_n and_o never_o to_o make_v such_o bargain_n in_o which_o they_o themselves_o may_v be_v gainer_n by_o their_o master_n loss_n they_o must_v not_o therefore_o by_o

at_o another_o place_n which_o give_v no_o such_o encouragement_n if_o by_o their_o industry_n or_o art_n they_o have_v make_v a_o better_a bargain_n in_o buy_v or_o sell_v than_o their_o master_n expect_v the_o advantage_n be_v to_o be_v their_o master_n and_o not_o their_o own_o if_o he_o will_v reward_v they_o for_o it_o he_o may_v but_o they_o must_v not_o reward_v themselves_o by_o either_o set_n down_o more_o than_o what_o the_o thing_n cost_n in_o buy_v or_o reserve_v any_o part_n to_o themselves_o of_o the_o price_n receive_v in_o selling._n q._n be_v servant_n then_o to_o

the_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o be_v faithful_a in_o their_o service_n this_o god_n require_v of_o they_o and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v do_v for_o his_o and_o their_o own_o

the_o most_o harsh_a and_o froward_a temper_n q._n in_o relation_n to_o what_o you_o have_v say_v above_o pray_v tell_v i_o may_v not_o servant_n take_v any_o thing_n which_o be_v usual_o give_v by_o

they_o but_o this_o be_v a_o point_n in_o which_o servant_n ought_v to_o be_v very_o jealous_a of_o themselves_o because_o in_o the_o business_n of_o money_n every_o one_o be_v apt_a to_o judge_v too_o favourable_o of_o what_o be_v for_o their_o own_o interest_n and_o therefore_o if_o they_o do_v not_o often_o try_v the_o price_n of_o thing_n at_o other_o place_n i_o fear_v the_o hope_n of_o

the_o lord_n you_o shall_v receive_v the_o reward_n of_o the_o inheritance_n for_o you_o serve_v the_o lord_n christ_n but_o he_o that_o do_v wrong_a shall_v receive_v the_o wrong_n he_o have_v do_v for_o with_o god_n there_o be_v no_o respect_n of_o person_n here_o you_o see_v the_o full_a duty_n of_o servant_n as_o to_o this_o point_n first_o that_o there_o be_v a_o exact_a obedience_n due_a from_o servant_n to_o master_n in_o all_o that_o be_v not_o sinful_a 2_o dly_z that_o this_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v do_v upon_o the_o motive_n of_o human_a respect_n of_o hypocrisy_n flattery_n or_o

they_o be_v not_o to_o regard_v the_o fail_n weakness_n or_o ill_a humour_n of_o their_o master_n but_o the_o authority_n of_o jesus_n christ_n who_o they_o serve_v in_o he_o and_o by_o who_o authority_n he_o command_v 5_o thly_a that_o whatever_o they_o do_v upon_o command_n they_o be_v mindful_a to_o do_v it_o in_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o to_o hope_v for_o a_o recompense_n from_o he_o last_o that_o if_o the_o master_n deal_v unjust_o with_o they_o they_o be_v to_o desire_v no_o revenge_n but_o remit_v their_o cause_n to_o god_n who_o will_v

of_o servant_n you_o may_v observe_v first_o that_o servant_n offend_v god_n by_o disobey_v their_o master_n and_o by_o so_o do_v be_v guilty_a of_o sin_n 2_o dly_a that_o if_o they_o grumble_v and_o express_v a_o unwillingness_n to_o comply_v with_o their_o master_n command_n they_o fall_v short_a of_o what_o s._n paul_n require_v of_o they_o which_o be_v to_o do_v their_o service_n with_o good_a

they_o wrong_v their_o own_o soul_n and_o can_v expect_v the_o reward_n promise_v to_o those_o who_o do_v all_o their_o service_n hearty_o as_o to_o the_o lord_n q._n be_v there_o no_o exception_n in_o this_o obedience_n due_a to_o master_n what_o if_o they_o require_v that_o of_o servant_n which_o they_o never_o undertake_v and_o in_o reality_n belong_v not_o to_o they_o to_o do_v a._n

possible_a they_o shall_v escape_v be_v in_o a_o perpetual_a fret_v within_o and_o a_o perpetual_a war_n without_o the_o case_n therefore_o of_o servant_n be_v not_o so_o particular_a in_o this_o

may_v be_v as_o great_a a_o direspect_n in_o this_o stubborn_a silence_n as_o there_o be_v at_o other_o time_n in_o be_v too_o forward_o in_o answer_v it_o may_v likewise_o be_v allow_v they_o in_o any_o reproof_n to_o make_v their_o plea_n in_o short_a by_o declare_v the_o truth_n and_o if_o this_o be_v not_o accept_v then_o to_o submit_v in_o silence_n and_o patience_n rather_o than_o
