loss_n of_o their_o good_n be_v more_o than_o the_o loss_n of_o their_o health_n but_o this_o thing_n do_v not_o arise_v nor_o happen_v of_o the_o good_n or_o money_n itself_o but_o because_o some_o

householder_n when_o they_o go_v about_o to_o hire_v any_o servant_n will_v be_v no_o less_o careful_a and_o inquisitive_a of_o their_o honesty_n godly_a conversation_n and_o how_o they_o have_v

have_v all_o the_o office_n of_o christ_n for_o he_o must_v rule_v and_o teach_v and_o pray_v rule_n like_o a_o king_n and_o teach_v like_o a_o prophet_n and_o pray_v like_o a_o priest_n to_o show_v how_o a_o godly_a man_n 10._o shall_v behave_v himself_o in_o his_o household_n when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v of_o the_o conversion_n of_o 16._o any_o housekeeper_n common_o he_o say_v that_o the_o man_n believe_v and_o all_o his_o household_n as_o peter_n be_v convert_v must_v convert_v his_o brethren_n so_o the_o master_n be_v a_o protestant_n and_o a_o good_a christian_a must_v

it_o be_v note_v of_o cornelius_n 2._o that_o he_o himself_o fear_v god_n with_o all_o his_o household_n these_o example_n be_v write_v for_o householders_n as_o other_o be_v for_o magistrate_n and_o

revile_v and_o reproachful_a word_n and_o immoderate_a fierceness_n do_v much_o more_o hurt_v then_o good_a and_o therefore_o the_o law_n of_o god_n do_v charge_v the_o magistrate_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o cause_v above_o forty_o stripe_n to_o be_v inflict_v upon_o any_o offender_n lest_o he_o shall_v seem_v despise_v in_o his_o eye_n much_o less_o than_o may_v a_o master_n exceed_v that_o
