swerve_v if_o we_o hold_v close_o thereunto_o 4._o it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a rule_n it_o will_v give_v every_o one_o and_o among_o other_o servant_n direction_n how_o to_o carry_v themselves_o in_o

gather_v two_o proposition_n to_o add_v force_n to_o this_o motive_n 1._o that_o servant_n obey_v their_o master_n be_v no_o arbitrary_a matter_n but_o a_o necessary_a duty_n not_o leave_v to_o his_o will_n whether_o he_o will_v do_v it_o or_o no_o but_o a_o thing_n whereunto_o he_o be_v bind_v and_o that_o not_o only_o by_o civil_a constitution_n of_o man_n but_o also_o by_o a_o divine_a institution_n of_o god_n so_o as_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o matter_n of_o civil_a policy_n but_o also_o of_o conscience_n to_o be_v do_v for_o conscience_n sake_n 2._o that_o no_o creature_n can_v dispense_v with_o servant_n so_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v exempt_v from_o do_v their_o duty_n to_o their_o master_n if_o they_o can_v they_o be_v great_a than_o god_n and_o their_o will_n above_o god_n will_n among_o creature_n master_n themselves_o be_v to_o be_v reckon_v now_o because_o it_o be_v god_n will_v that_o servant_n shall_v be_v in_o subjection_n their_o master_n can_v exempt_v they_o from_o it_o master_n may_v let_v they_o go_v free_a but_o retain_v they_o as_o servant_n they_o can_v exempt_v they_o from_o a_o servant_n subjection_n wherefore_o though_o master_n be_v careless_a in_o exact_v duty_n yet_o let_v servant_n be_v conscionable_a in_o yield_a duty_n because_o it_o be_v god_n will_n §._n 43._o of_o the_o four_o reason_n the_o reward_n of_o good_a service_n the_o four_o reason_n be_v plain_o and_o large_o express_v in_o these_o four_o word_n know_v that_o whatsoever_o good_a thing_n any_o man_n do_v the_o 24._o same_o shall_v he_o receive_v of_o the_o lord_n whether_o he_o be_v bond_n or_o free_a the_o general_a sum_n whereof_o be_v a_o declaration_n of_o the_o reward_n of_o good_a service_n to_o which_o purpose_n say_v the_o apostle_n to_o servant_n in_o another_o place_n of_o the_o lordye_o shall_v receive_v a_o reward_n this_o first_o be_v to_o be_v note_v to_o add_v force_n to_o the_o former_a reason_n for_o if_o any_o ask_v what_o if_o master_n stand_n in_o christ_n stead_n what_o make_v that_o to_o the_o purpose_n sure_o it_o make_v much_o to_o move_v servant_n because_o master_n stand_v in_o his_o room_n who_o will_v reward_v that_o which_o be_v do_v for_o his_o sake_n if_o again_o they_o ask_v what_o benefit_n be_v it_o to_o be_v christ_n servant_n it_o may_v be_v answer_v very_o great_a for_o christ_n will_v reward_v all_o his_o servant_n if_o further_o it_o be_v ask_v what_o be_v get_v by_o do_v god_n will_v answ_n even_o that_o which_o all_o aim_n at_o reward_n for_o service_n as_o this_o add_v weight_n to_o all_o the_o other_o reason_n so_o be_v it_o in_o itself_o a_o weighty_a reason_n as_o weighty_a as_o any_o can_v be_v to_o our_o corrupt_a nature_n hope_v of_o reward_n be_v it_o which_o make_v all_o sort_n of_o people_n to_o take_v the_o pain_n which_o they_o do_v in_o their_o several_a place_n but_o have_v 127._o before_o handle_v this_o general_a point_n of_o reward_n i_o will_v here_o more_o distinct_o show_v what_o kind_n of_o reward_n it_o be_v wherewith_o the_o lord_n will_v recompense_v the_o good_a service_n of_o faithful_a servant_n god_n reward_n be_v both_o of_o temporal_a and_o eternal_a blessing_n the_o temporal_a blessing_n which_o heretofore_o god_n have_v bestow_v servant_n on_o faithful_a servant_n and_o which_o on_o that_o ground_n other_o like_a servant_n
