do_v it_o not_o principal_o because_o his_o master_n command_v but_o because_o god_n command_v not_o because_o his_o master_n eye_n be_v upon_o he_o but_o because_o god_n pure_a eye_n behold_v he_o either_o to_o punish_v he_o if_o he_o do_v not_o his_o duty_n or_o to_o reward_v he_o if_o he_o do_v it_o faithful_o this_o be_v the_o cheese_n point_n at_o which_o servant_n must_v aim_v commandment_n ephes_n 6._o 5._o in_o singleness_n of_o your_o heart_n as_o unto_o christ_n and_o there_o be_v a_o reason_n why_o one_o must_v chief_o seek_v to_o please_v god_n and_o not_o man_n for_o if_o one_o do_v so_o this_o will_v follow_v that_o one_o shall_v not_o do_v it_o in_o eye_n service_n that_o be_v this_o when_o the_o master_n look_v on_o to_o be_v so_o nimble_a and_o ready_a to_o do_v as_o much_o as_o two_o or_o three_o but_o no_o soon_o the_o master_n eye_n be_v turn_v away_o but_o all_o be_v give_v over_o and_o the_o time_n spend_v idle_a and_o nothing_o be_v do_v or_o if_o it_o be_v it_o be_v naughty_o and_o negligent_o but_o where_o this_o be_v not_o that_o one_o chief_o respect_v god_n his_o obedience_n can_v never_o be_v constant_a it_o be_v but_o by_o sit_v and_o start_v and_o hang_v upon_o the_o master_n eye_n take_v away_o that_o and_o all_o be_v do_v second_o if_o one_o serve_v not_o god_n than_o he_o be_v straight_o discourage_v at_o unkindness_n here_o be_v no_o reward_n for_o one_o pain_n no_o respect_n have_v of_o one_o labour_n indeed_o if_o oneserue_v his_o master_n only_o he_o may_v true_o say_v so_o of_o time_n but_o if_o one_o serve_v god_n and_o do_v it_o in_o obedience_n to_o god_n he_o can_v at_o any_o time_n say_v here_o be_v no_o consideration_n have_v of_o one_o diligence_n it_o be_v impious_a to_o say_v so_o &_o to_o make_v god_n a_o liar_n &_o unfaithful_a but_o there_o be_v sufficient_a consideration_n and_o reward_n if_o one_o serve_v god_n for_o than_o if_o his_o master_n do_v not_o recompense_v he_o he_o who_o he_o serve_v will_n as_o the_o example_n of_o jacob_n show_v he_o serve_v a_o covetous_a master_n one_o that_o make_v no_o conscience_n of_o his_o promise_n to_o a_o poor_a man_n as_o this_o be_v always_o the_o trick_n of_o a_o covetous_a man_n he_o care_v not_o what_o promise_n he_o break_v to_o a_o poor_a man_n yet_o jacob_n make_v conscience_n of_o his_o duty_n and_o endure_v his_o covetousness_n for_o twenty_o year_n space_n and_o serve_v he_o to_o with_o all_o his_o might_n so_o that_o he_o be_v pnicht_v by_o heat_n in_o the_o day_n by_o cold_a in_o the_o night_n and_o if_o sleep_v depart_v from_o his_o eye_n and_o if_o ever_o any_o thing_n be_v spoil_v by_o wild_a beast_n he_o make_v it_o good_a yet_o laban_n all_o this_o while_n do_v nothing_o but_o seek_v to_o eat_v he_o up_o and_o to_o raven_n all_o from_o he_o that_o he_o can_v then_o god_n come_v and_o tell_v he_o that_o though_o laban_n be_v thus_o churlish_a yet_o he_o can_v have_v wage_n enough_o and_o because_o he_o serve_v god_n god_n will_v pay_v he_o though_o man_n do_v not_o and_o so_o he_o do_v and_o that_o thorough_o and_o full_o for_o by_o god_n own_o hand_n and_o providence_n most_o of_o laban_n best_a cattle_n be_v turn_v to_o jacob_n and_o so_o he_o grow_v far_o more_o wealthy_a &_o have_v a_o large_a recompense_n than_o ever_o he_o look_v for_o so_o that_o if_o on_o serve_v two_o master_n he_o shall_v common_o have_v double_a wage_n for_o god_n will_v incline_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o master_n to_o favour_v he_o when_o he_o be_v faithful_a and_o himself_o also_o will_v full_o reward_v he_o with_o abundant_a blessing_n in_o his_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o conscience_n and_o name_n and_o posterity_n after_o he_o for_o no_o man_n ever_o serve_v god_n in_o a_o call_n but_o he_o may_v as_o well_o pray_v for_o god_n blessing_n and_o as_o sure_o look_v for_o it_o be_v the_o work_n never_o so_o mean_a and_o base_a that_o he_o go_v about_o as_o the_o minister_n when_o he_o preach_v or_o pray_v or_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n or_o do_v any_o work_n of_o his_o call_n the_o last_o duty_n of_o servant_n be_v to_o pray_v for_o their_o governor_n and_o for_o good_a success_n upon_o their_o labour_n in_o their_o governor_n business_n this_o be_v command_v 1._o tim._n 2._o where_o it_o be_v command_v that_o not_o every_o place_n of_o authority_n one_o be_v in_o the_o inferior_a

these_o grace_n likewise_o when_o servant_n go_v about_o matter_n of_o weight_n concern_v their_o master_n they_o must_v pray_v to_o god_n for_o direction_n and_o success_n as_o when_o abraham_n trust_v his_o servant_n with_o a_o great_a matter_n namely_o to_o fetch_v a_o wife_n for_o his_o son_n he_o go_v about_o with_o prayer_n to_o god_n to_o direct_v he_o and_o give_v he_o a_o good_a proceed_n and_o event_n and_o where_o god_n have_v bless_v he_o he_o give_v thanks_n to_o god_n and_o praise_v he_o as_o he_o will_v not_o trust_v his_o own_o strength_n but_o call_v to_o god_n for_o assistance_n so_o have_v obtain_v assistance_n he_o let_v god_n have_v the_o praise_n and_o then_o when_o he_o be_v entreat_v to_o stay_v ten_o day_n and_o may_v have_v have_v all_o courteous_a and_o liberal_a entertainment_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o but_o tell_v they_o that_o see_v god_n have_v bless_v he_o and_o his_o master_n expect_v his_o come_n they_o shall_v not_o now_o hinder_v he_o and_o nothing_o can_v contain_v he_o from_o his_o master_n that_o look_v for_o he_o this_o confute_v those_o that_o never_o pray_v god_n to_o give_v a_o blessing_n to_o their_o governor_n and_o to_o bestow_v grace_n upon_o their_o master_n and_o hence_o it_o just_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o want_v many_o good_a thing_n from_o their_o master_n which_o they_o shall_v have_v because_o they_o perform_v not_o all_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o good_a servant_n in_o that_o they_o call_v not_o upon_o god_n for_o their_o master_n and_o those_o be_v also_o reprove_v that_o will_v be_v desirous_a to_o be_v employ_v in_o their_o master_n affair_n and_o to_o have_v deal_v in_o business_n commit_v to_o they_o but_o they_o be_v so_o presumptuous_a in_o a_o carnal_a confidence_n of_o their_o own_o ability_n that_o they_o run_v boy_n strous_o and_o rude_o upon_o matter_n not_o entreat_v the_o help_n of_o the_o great_a god_n in_o thing_n of_o great_a moment_n and_o then_o it_o be_v just_a that_o god_n shall_v cross_v they_o because_o they_o take_v away_o that_o he_o never_o sanctify_v and_o if_o they_o will_v not_o ask_v a_o blessing_n be_v not_o it_o righteous_a that_o he_o shall_v turn_v their_o wit_n into_o folly_n and_o though_o they_o go_v about_o it_o prudent_o cross_a and_o overturn_v all_o their_o policy_n because_o they_o trust_v more_o in_o policy_n then_o in_o his_o blessing_n the_o servant_n therefore_o must_v crave_v god_n assistance_n that_o he_o may_v use_v good_a mean_n after_o a_o good_a manner_n and_o with_o good_a success_n and_o a_o other_o use_v here_o be_v to_o be_v make_v of_o those_o which_o have_v be_v servant_n but_o now_o be_v not_o this_o be_v their_o duty_n even_o to_o go_v back_o and_o see_v wherein_o they_o have_v fail_v in_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n and_o for_o that_o ask_v mercy_n at_o god_n hand_n and_o crave_v pardon_n else_o they_o shall_v be_v liable_a to_o these_o two_o evil_n first_o that_o god_n may_v just_o plague_v they_o now_o for_o their_o former_a sin_n and_o second_o that_o as_o they_o fail_v in_o their_o duty_n to_o their_o master_n so_o their_o servant_n shall_v fail_v in_o duty_n to_o they_o whereas_o if_o one_o have_v repent_v he_o may_v look_v and_o have_v some_o hope_n that_o god_n in_o mercy_n will_v so_o order_v his_o servant_n heart_n as_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o recompense_v his_o own_o evil_a unto_o he_o because_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n have_v wash_v it_o away_o but_o such_o as_o will_v pilfer_v &_o deal_v wicked_o with_o their_o master_n &_o not_o repent_v for_o it_o and_o make_v some_o repentance_n it_o be_v most_o just_a from_o god_n that_o they_o themselves_o shall_v be_v spoil_v and_o rob_v without_o any_o amends_n thus_o much_o concern_v the_o duty_n of_o servant_n the_o duty_n of_o the_o master_n follow_v for_o as_o god_n bind_v the_o inferior_a to_o his_o duty_n so_o he_o require_v that_o the_o superior_a be_v careful_a in_o his_o place_n and_o call_v too_o now_o the_o master_n duty_n consist_v in_o two_o main_a point_n namely_o in_o choose_v they_o with_o wisdom_n and_o
sabbath_n day_n when_o he_o come_v home_n either_o his_o master_n or_o dame_n allow_v he_o in_o it_o or_o else_o they_o be_v mute_a and_o say_v nothing_o to_o he_o or_o if_o they_o do_v begin_v to_o reproove_v he_o it_o be_v do_v so_o cold_o so_o careless_o with_o so_o little_a vehemency_n that_o the_o servant_n may_v well_o perceive_v it_o come_v from_o the_o tooth_n outward_a his_o master_n be_v not_o great_o sorry_a within_o it_o never_o vex_v his_o hart_n for_o the_o matter_n and_o therefore_o he_o care_v not_o for_o such_o chide_n he_o will_v to_o it_o the_o next_o sabbath_n again_o then_o second_o this_o serve_v for_o the_o instruction_n of_o all_o householder_n that_o desire_v to_o be_v indeed_o as_o well_o as_o to_o be_v account_v christian_n that_o they_o shall_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o their_o servant_n in_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o sabbath_n even_o as_o one_o the_o week_n day_n they_o will_v call_v they_o up_o and_o see_v that_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o their_o business_n so_o on_o the_o sabbath_n call_v they_o up_o in_o the_o morning_n &_o see_v that_o they_o be_v ready_a for_o the_o work_n of_o god_n especial_o since_o the_o work_n of_o their_o call_n be_v such_o as_o they_o may_v do_v without_o any_o great_a preparation_n a_o man_n may_v rise_v out_o of_o his_o bed_n and_o go_v straight_o and_o hold_v the_o plough_n or_o drive_v the_o cart_n as_o well_o as_o if_o he_o have_v a_o hour_n consideration_n but_o unless_o one_o have_v sometime_o to_o disburden_v his_o hart_n of_o worldly_a thought_n and_o to_o fit_v himself_o by_o prayer_n &_o holy_a meditation_n to_o hear_v the_o word_n he_o can_v never_o do_v it_o well_o nor_o so_o as_o the_o word_n will_v be_v profitable_a unto_o he_o therefore_o they_o must_v be_v stir_v up_o that_o they_o may_v have_v time_n to_o make_v ready_a their_o heart_n that_o they_o come_v before_o god_n with_o a_o quiet_a a_o empty_a mind_n now_o in_o this_o duty_n many_o of_o god_n child_n fail_v that_o even_o themselves_o and_o their_o whole_a family_n take_v liberty_n to_o sleep_v out_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o morning_n and_o think_v it_o enough_o to_o rise_v and_o go_v to_o church_n not_o regard_v any_o time_n of_o preparation_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o exercise_n be_v so_o uncomfortable_a and_o unprofitable_a to_o they_o and_o then_o secondlie_o the_o master_n must_v be_v careful_a to_o have_v his_o family_n come_v with_o he_o in_o good_a &_o due_a season_n to_o the_o house_n of_o god_n with_o the_o whole_a congregation_n not_o as_o many_o do_v that_o be_v so_o negligent_a as_o much_o be_v past_a before_o they_o come_v the_o wife_n come_v at_o the_o second_o lesson_n &_o he_o drop_v in_o at_o the_o end_n of_o prayer_n and_o the_o servant_n follow_v when_o half_o be_v do_v they_o will_v not_o do_v thus_o to_o harvest_n work_n but_o he_o will_v make_v they_o get_v all_o thing_n ready_a that_o they_o go_v together_o to_o get_v in_o his_o corn_n and_o not_o come_v drop_v one_o now_o and_o another_o anon_o why_o shall_v not_o one_o therefore_o be_v as_o careful_a for_o the_o food_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o to_o eat_v of_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n to_o come_v joyfullie_o himself_o and_o his_o wife_n and_o bring_v their_o family_n with_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v at_o the_o beginning_n and_o tarry_v out_o till_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v have_v the_o whole_a fruit_n and_o not_o as_o some_o do_v be_v go_v before_o the_o sermon_n end_n or_o at_o least_o run_v away_o before_o the_o prayer_n be_v make_v for_o a_o blessing_n and_o the_o blessing_n pronounce_v by_o the_o minister_n which_o show_v they_o never_o feel_v the_o goodness_n of_o the_o blessing_n they_o be_v so_o loath_a to_o tarry_v the_o minister_n prayer_n because_o they_o want_v the_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n themselves_o and_o can_v tell_v the_o benefit_n of_o a_o faithful_a prayer_n for_o if_o the_o sweetness_n of_o god_n blessing_n have_v distil_v upon_o their_o soul_n or_o they_o have_v never_o feel_v the_o comfor_n that_o follow_v a_o prayer_n make_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n they_o will_v be_v more_o desirous_a of_o these_o thing_n than_o they_o be_v and_o not_o haste_v so_o from_o they_o as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o curse_n not_o a_o blessing_n and_o some_o thing_n tend_v to_o their_o hurt_n not_o a_o supplication_n to_o god_n for_o their_o good_a and_o as_o they_o must_v call_v they_o up_o in_o the_o morning_n so_o a_o other_o duty_n be_v to_o examine_v they_o after_o and_o call_v they_o to_o account_v how_o they_o have_v profit_v as_o if_o man_n servant_n be_v send_v to_o the_o market_n they_o will_v not_o let_v they_o go_v without_o take_v account_n how_o they_o have_v do_v their_o business_n and_o what_o market_n they_o have_v make_v so_o when_o they_o come_v from_o the_o church_n they_o come_v from_o the_o market_n of_o their_o soul_n they_o shall_v question_v with_o they_o to_o see_v what_o good_a bargain_n they_o have_v make_v for_o their_o soul_n what_o profit_n they_o have_v have_v by_o come_v to_o god_n ordinance_n and_o thus_o lay_v their_o store_n together_o to_o help_v one_o another_o this_o serve_v also_o for_o the_o instruction_n of_o servant_n that_o since_o god_n have_v lay_v such_o a_o charge_n upon_o their_o superior_n to_o look_v that_o they_o keep_v his_o sabbath_n therefore_o they_o shall_v willing_o be_v rule_v and_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v guide_v by_o they_o in_o this_o point_n and_o as_o well_o obey_v they_o in_o the_o sabbath_n to_o be_v diligent_a in_o the_o work_n of_o god_n as_o in_o the_o week_n day_n to_o obey_v they_o for_o matter_n of_o their_o own_o call_n they_o must_v not_o say_v as_o many_o profane_a servant_n will_v if_o they_o call_v they_o and_o will_v instruct_v they_o in_o religion_n they_o will_v none_o of_o that_o but_o you_o hire_v i_o say_v they_o to_o do_v your_o work_n and_o take_v my_o wage_n and_o there_o a_o end_n what_o need_v all_o this_o do_v about_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n and_o come_v to_o the_o sermon_n let_v i_o look_v to_o that_o myself_o nay_o but_o if_o they_o be_v god_n servant_n and_o you_o god_n servant_n your_o master_n hire_v you_o to_o do_v god_n work_v and_o in_o the_o lord_n to_o do_v their_o work_n therefore_o this_o be_v a_o profane_a answer_n and_o these_o be_v ill_a servant_n but_o much_o more_o vild_a be_v they_o that_o will_v run_v abroad_o to_o wickedness_n to_o dance_v to_o swill_v to_o wantonness_n etc._n etc._n make_v that_o their_o sabbath_n day_n work_v which_o be_v unlawful_a at_o any_o time_n to_o plough_v and_o to_o cart_n be_v thing_n lawful_a and_o profitable_a in_o fit_a time_n but_o to_o dance_v and_o follow_v wantonness_n be_v naught_o every_o day_n but_o much_o more_o vild_a and_o abominable_a upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n therefore_o such_o servant_n must_v by_o force_n be_v constrain_v not_o to_o violate_v god_n sabbath_n or_o if_o no_o mean_n will_v serve_v a_o christian_n master_n must_v not_o have_v his_o house_n pester_v with_o such_o open_a rebel_n against_o god_n thus_o much_o god_n show_v the_o duty_n of_o christian_n householder_n that_o they_o must_v themselves_o and_o see_v that_o their_o servant_n abstain_v from_o all_o the_o work_n of_o their_o call_n and_o do_v only_a work_n of_o piety_n and_o mercy_n which_o work_v of_o mercy_n they_o must_v not_o do_v upon_o the_o lord_n day_n in_o love_n to_o their_o own_o commodity_n but_o in_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o compassion_n of_o the_o creature_n now_o the_o lord_n go_v further_a to_o show_v what_o course_n must_v be_v take_v with_o man_n of_o a_o other_o religion_n say_v nor_o the_o strange_a that_o be_v within_o thy_o gate_n here_o he_o show_v that_o if_o a_o stranger_n come_v within_o our_o jurisdiction_n that_o be_v christian_n though_o we_o can_v command_v he_o to_o come_v to_o the_o exercise_n of_o religion_n yet_o the_o magistrate_n must_v not_o suffer_v he_o to_o do_v any_o servile_a work_n to_o pollute_v the_o sabbath_n for_o by_o the_o gate_n here_o the_o lord_n mean_v authority_n and_o jurisdiction_n because_o in_o former_a time_n the_o place_n of_o judgement_n and_o where_o authority_n be_v exercise_v be_v in_o the_o gate_n hence_o then_o in_o that_o the_o magistrate_n must_v look_v to_o foreigner_n this_o general_a doctrine_n may_v be_v gather_v that_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n be_v christian_n not_o only_o to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n ourselves_o and_o to_o look_v to_o those_o that_o be_v belong_v to_o we_o but_o so_o far_o as_o we_o can_v even_o to_o stranger_n or_o to_o any_o other_o and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o be_v commend_v in_o nehemiah_n that_o when_o the_o man_n of_o

as_o a_o reason_n if_o they_o be_v your_o husband_n if_o god_n have_v set_v they_o over_o you_o as_o your_o head_n and_o governor_n you_o must_v submit_v yourselves_o to_o they_o for_o this_o cause_n
