the_o begin_n of_o the_o church_n many_o believe_a servant_n have_v unbelieved_a master_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n no_o less_o than_o other_o if_o their_o yield_v to_o that_o exact_v of_o their_o

of_o any_o labour_n for_o that_o heathen_a master_n will_v exact_v of_o christian_a servant_n their_o ordinary_a labour_n and_o service_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o well_o as_o on_o other_o you_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o doubt_v except_o you_o think_v that_o heathen_a man_n will_v tender_v and_o respect_n more_o the_o religion_n of_o their_o servant_n that_o religion_n which_o themselves_o esteem_v to_o be_v superstition_n &_o folly_n than_o their_o own_o profit_n and_o then_o if_o christian_a servant_n shall_v have_v withdraw_v their_o obedience_n that_o day_n reject_v and_o resist_v their_o master_n commandment_n whereas_o their_o unbelieve_a servant_n willing_o obey_v they_o and_o labour_v for_o their_o profit_n have_v they_o not_o cause_v the_o name_n of_o god_n which_o they_o

you_o of_o that_o god_n i_o say_v which_o command_v and_o that_o doctrine_n which_o instruct_v servant_n to_o disobey_v their_o master_n &_o by_o deprive_v they_o of_o their_o service_n cause_v their_o hindrance_n the_o apostle_n know_v full_a well_o this_o be_v not_o the_o way_n to_o propagate_v the_o gospel_n and_o enlarge_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n he_o know_v it_o be_v christian_a meekness_n &_o obedience_n &_o humility_n &_o patience_n that_o must_v do_v it_o &_o therefore_o he_o command_v christian_a servant_n to_o give_v their_o master_n all_o honour_n to_o obey_v they_o in_o all_o thing_n &_o to_o please_v they_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o so_o their_o master_n see_v they_o more_o serviceable_a &_o profitable_a servant_n &_o withal_o more_o virtuous_a than_o other_o be_v may_v soon_o be_v draw_v to_o like_v of_o the_o religion_n that_o make_v they_o such_o whereas_o the_o contrary_n will_v have_v be_v manifest_o a_o scandal_n and_o grievous_a impeachment_n to_o the_o propagation_n of_o the_o gospel_n &_o defame_v it_o for_o a_o doctrine_n of_o contumacy_n and_o disobedience_n and_o for_o a_o seminary_n as_o it_o be_v of_o disturbance_n and_o sedition_n of_o family_n and_o commonwealth_n and_o not_o only_o alienate_v the_o affection_n of_o master_n from_o their_o christian_a servant_n but_o inflame_v all_o man_n with_o indignation_n &_o hatred_n against_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o the_o professor_n of_o it_o such_o therefore_o evident_o be_v the_o importance_n and_o intendment_n of_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n as_o unpartial_a man_n who_o

to_o servant_n for_o this_o effectual_a and_o general_a obedience_n you_o will_v not_o reply_v i_o hope_v as_o some_o have_v do_v that_o at_o first_o indeed_o it_o be_v permit_v for_o the_o good_a
