doe unto their Parents whether good or bad they doe it unto Christ when they please their Parents they please Christ and when their Parents are justly angry with them Christ is angry with them neither is it possible for them to come into Christs favour againe no though all the Angels in Heaven should pray for them untill they have submitted and reconciled themselves to their Parents againe and so have I also done with the duties of Children towards their Parents Brad Goe on I beseech yov to shew the duty of Masters to wards their Servants Tind The Apostle saith ye Masters doe even the same things unto your Servants that is be a Master after the example and Doctrine of Christ put away threatnings give them fayre words and exhort them kindly to doe their duties yea and nurture them as thine owne Children with the Lords nurture that they may see in Christ a cause why they ought lovingly to obey doe unto them that which is just and equall remembring that you have a Master in Heaven give them food rayment and learning be not bitter to them raile not on them nor give them a cruell countenance but deale kindly with them and when they labour sore cherish them pray heartily to God for them and if they have need of correction let Gods word be by and doe it after such a good manner that they may see you doe it onely to amend them and to bring them into that way which God would have them walke in and not to avenge your selves or to wreck your malice on them and if at any tyme through passion you exceed measure in correcting them recompence it in pardoning them another time and be sure you have a speciall care of the good of their soules and thus you see also the Masters duties to their servants Brad. Conclude then I beseech you in shewing the duty of Servants to their Masters Tind The Apostle saith Servants obey your Masters according to the flesh with feare and trembling in singlenesse of heart as unto Christ not with eye service as men pleasers but as the Servants of Christ doing his will from the heart wherefore let Servants in what respect or degree soever they are during the time of their covenants know for a surety that their Master is unto them in the stead and roome of God and that God through him feedeth thee cloatheth thee ruleth thee and learneth thee his Commandements are Gods Commandements and thou oughtest to yeeld obedience unto him as unto God and in all things to seeke his pleasure and profit for thou art his goods and possession as well as his Oxe and Horse therefore Paul the Apostle though he had need of Onesiemus to minister to him in his bondes yet would he not retaine him without the consent of his Master if thou be a Christian servant thou must doe thy duty to thy Master for conscience sake as having an eye to Christ his will and Ordinance not for by respects as for that thou wouldest be bountifully rewarded or that thy Master may praise thee nor yet to avoyd correction but have thou an eye unto Christ and his acceptation and this thou must not onely doe to a good and courteous Master but also to the froward though he take no notice of it nor reward thee for it and thus my sweet brother according to your desire I have declared the duties both of Superiors and Inferiors in a Christian Common-Wealth Brad. Well then deare brother I will now speedily send my Angell to my deare Native Country England even to that famous City of London where I shed my bloud for the love of that truth which now is there powerfully Preached and he shall tell them good newes from Heaven yea from the Lord saying O England if ye walke in these Ordinances and keep these Commandements and doe them I will send peace in the Land and ye shall sleep and none shall make you afraid and I will walke among you and I will be your God and ye shall be my people Amen FINIS The Kings duty Subjects Duty If Christians must be thankfull for a Tyrant then surely England hath cause to be thankfull for a Christian King Husban●s duty Parents duty Childens duty Masters duty Servants duty Lev. 26.3.6.12
