servant_n be_v to_o be_v instruct_v out_o of_o the_o word_n observe_v 5._o thing_n general_o observe_v which_o reprove_v master_n that_o restrain_v servant_n from_o hear_v the_o word_n in_o god_n house_n and_o open_v not_o the_o book_n of_o god_n to_o they_o in_o their_o own_o house_n 2._o a_o question_n may_v here_o be_v move_v why_o shall_v the_o duty_n of_o servant_n be_v thus_o large_o in_o so_o many_o word_n set_v down_o answ_n 1._o because_o usual_o man_n show_v less_o compassion_n to_o servant_n therefore_o god_n take_v the_o more_o care_n of_o they_o many_o man_n will_v have_v some_o care_n of_o their_o child_n to_o see_v they_o teach_v in_o some_o manner_n but_o their_o servant_n they_o whole_o neglect_v therefore_o god_n who_o be_v a_o father_n to_o servant_n as_o well_o as_o child_n provide_v large_a instruction_n and_o comfort_n for_o servant_n if_o they_o will_v come_v to_o his_o book_n to_o be_v teach_v 2._o the_o careful_a apostle_n see_v that_o in_o the_o first_o conversion_n of_o man_n from_o gentilism_n to_o christianity_n there_o be_v great_a danger_n of_o disorder_n &_o scandal_n in_o servant_n partly_o out_o of_o weariness_n of_o their_o bondage_n and_o servile_a condition_n partly_o because_o man_n will_v less_o spare_v to_o tell_v of_o their_o fault_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n as_o most_o fearful_a of_o they_o spend_v many_o word_n in_o the_o teach_n and_o encourage_v of_o they_o 3._o we_o may_v note_v here_o the_o candour_n of_o the_o apostle_n he_o do_v free_o deliver_v his_o mind_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o servant_n with_o a_o full_a vent_n of_o word_n with_o great_a care_n without_o hold_v back_o any_o thing_n that_o belong_v unto_o they_o he_o be_v not_o of_o the_o mind_n of_o most_o preacher_n now_o adays_o that_o hold_v the_o discourse_n of_o family_n duty_n especial_o of_o servant_n too_o base_a a_o subject_n for_o their_o wit_n and_o learning_n to_o be_v employ_v in_o neither_o be_v the_o apostle_n of_o the_o humour_n of_o lawyer_n that_o seldom_o speak_v much_o but_o for_o great_a man_n or_o when_o they_o may_v have_v great_a gift_n the_o apostle_n speak_v as_o much_o for_o a_o servant_n that_o can_v do_v nothing_o for_o he_o as_o for_o the_o master_n 4._o in_o lay_v down_o his_o speech_n to_o servant_n he_o both_o teach_v and_o comfort_v they_o but_o for_o order_n he_o first_o teach_v they_o and_o as_o any_o be_v more_o ignorant_a this_o course_n be_v more_o needful_a to_o be_v hold_v the_o common_a people_n shall_v be_v in_o this_o manner_n deal_v withal_o they_o must_v first_o be_v rebuke_v convince_a exhort_v teach_v and_o then_o meet_a comfort_n to_o be_v apply_v and_o not_o before_o last_o the_o scope_n and_o drift_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o all_o these_o word_n be_v to_o keep_v servant_n in_o order_n and_o that_o first_o to_o hold_v servant_n in_o obedience_n that_o none_o under_o colour_n of_o liberty_n in_o christ_n shall_v break_v up_o their_o subjection_n to_o their_o master_n he_o be_v no_o anabaptist_n second_o to_o meet_v with_o the_o faulty_a obedience_n of_o such_o servant_n as_o be_v resolve_v to_o stay_v in_o service_n he_o meet_v here_o with_o five_o fault_n in_o servant_n servant_n five_o fault_n in_o servant_n 1._o the_o first_o fault_n in_o servant_n be_v half_a service_n or_o to_o obey_v in_o what_o they_o listen_v this_o he_o correct_v when_o he_o say_v in_o all_o thing_n 2._o the_o second_o fault_n be_v eyeservice_n 3._o the_o three_o fault_n be_v prophanesse_n most_o servant_n never_o respect_v piety_n and_o god_n fear_v but_o only_o to_o please_v their_o master_n this_o he_o meet_v with_o when_o he_o say_v not_o as_o man_n pleaser_n but_o fear_v god_n 4._o the_o four_o fault_n be_v hypocritical_a service_n this_o he_o meet_v when_o he_o add_v in_o singleness_n of_o heart_n 5._o the_o five_o fault_n be_v baseness_n of_o mind_n and_o discouragement_n this_o he_o will_v prevent_v in_o the_o two_o last_o verse_n thus_o of_o the_o general_a servant_n the_o servant_n in_o the_o apostle_n time_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n bondslave_n buy_v and_o sell_v as_o beast_n and_o their_o master_n be_v infidel_n and_o cruel_a to_o they_o and_o yet_o many_o of_o these_o servant_n be_v convert_v to_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n where_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o man_n slave_n may_v be_v god_n servant_n he_o have_v his_o elect_a among_o these_o the_o dear_a child_n of_o god_n in_o this_o world_n may_v be_v abase_v to_o most_o vile_a misery_n and_o a_o most_o servile_a condition_n the_o use_v be_v first_o to_o show_v that_o felicity_n be_v not_o in_o outward_a thing_n for_o god_n servant_n that_o have_v attain_v the_o chief_a good_a yet_o be_v in_o most_o base_a condition_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n second_o to_o teach_v we_o patience_n in_o lesser_a cross_n whatsoever_o thou_o be_v yet_o thou_o be_v not_o a_o bondslave_n therefore_o be_v patient_a such_o as_o have_v be_v dear_a in_o god_n sight_n have_v be_v worse_o use_v than_o thou_o be_v three_o to_o teach_v we_o compassion_n to_o the_o base_a sort_n of_o man_n for_o god_n elect_v may_v be_v among_o these_o last_o this_o be_v a_o great_a comfort_n to_o the_o abject_a but_o howsoever_o buy_v servant_n be_v most_o usual_a in_o the_o apostle_n time_n yet_o hire_v servant_n be_v use_v then_o too_o and_o be_v here_o mean_v aswell_o as_o the_o other_o yea_o all_o servant_n though_o they_o be_v noble_n serve_v in_o prince_n court_n be_v tie_v to_o the_o duty_n general_o here_o require_v and_o as_o any_o servant_n have_v
