even_o to_o the_o care_n of_o their_o servant_n soul_n so_o far_o at_o least_o as_o to_o see_v they_o perform_v their_o duty_n to_o god_n in_o do_v good_a and_o avoid_v evil_a as_o far_o as_o fall_v within_o family-disciplin_n first_o then_o they_o be_v to_o examine_v whether_o they_o say_v their_o prayer_n and_o be_v present_a at_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n the_o ignorance_n or_o careless_a temper_n of_o too_o many_o servant_n be_v proof_n enough_o of_o the_o necessity_n of_o this_o inspection_n and_o concern_v in_o master_n and_o the_o omission_n of_o this_o enquiry_n be_v enough_o to_o draw_v upon_o they_o the_o guilt_n of_o their_o servant_n neglect_v second_o they_o be_v to_o see_v they_o have_v time_n to_o perform_v these_o duty_n and_o therefore_o be_v to_o take_v care_n they_o be_v not_o so_o oppress_v with_o business_n as_o to_o have_v no_o opportunity_n or_o leisure_n for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n excess_n of_o business_n may_v be_v sometime_o a_o real_a hindrance_n and_o if_o it_o be_v general_o so_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o consider_v how_o it_o may_v be_v moderate_v necessary_a work_n can_v be_v omit_v but_o how_o many_o thing_n be_v there_o in_o a_o family_n which_o be_v the_o command_v only_o of_o pride_n excess_n humour_n or_o niceness_n and_o be_v it_o not_o more_o reasonable_a in_o a_o christian_a that_o some_o of_o these_o at_o least_o shall_v be_v retrench_v than_o that_o servant_n for_o give_v attendance_n to_o they_o shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o live_v as_o heathen_n if_o the_o thing_n be_v consider_v faith_n can_v have_v there_o no_o influence_n where_o the_o decision_n be_v not_o in_o favour_n of_o servant_n for_o allow_v they_o so_o much_o time_n at_o least_o that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v force_v to_o renounce_v the_o practice_n of_o christianity_n in_o compliance_n with_o the_o weakness_n or_o vice_n of_o those_o who_o they_o serve_v this_o enquiry_n again_o aught_o to_o be_v make_v because_o many_o make_v excessive_a business_n their_o excuse_n for_o not_o pray_v and_o perform_v other_o spiritual_a duty_n when_o in_o reality_n it_o be_v nothing_o better_a than_o neglect_v and_o sloth_n be_v at_o the_o root_n of_o all_o their_o omission_n for_o which_o reason_n master_n ought_v to_o examine_v their_o servant_n that_o so_o they_o may_v confound_v the_o slothful_a with_o their_o neglect_n and_o help_v to_o contrive_v for_o those_o of_o better_a inclinaons_n who_o have_v a_o good_a will_n but_o for_o want_v of_o management_n can_v find_v time_n to_o pray_o three_o this_o enquiry_n ought_v to_o be_v make_v with_o a_o strict_a eye_n as_o to_o sunday_n and_o holiday_n to_o see_v if_o they_o take_v care_n to_o sanctify_v they_o according_a to_o their_o institution_n the_o great_a liberty_n in_o profane_v these_o day_n or_o at_o least_o in_o pass_v they_o over_o without_o any_o concern_v for_o answer_v the_o purpose_n for_o which_o they_o be_v ordain_v aught_o to_o press_v christian_a master_n to_o call_v their_o servant_n to_o a_o account_n and_o a_o principal_a care_n ought_v to_o be_v on_o their_o own_o part_n to_o see_v that_o by_o unnecessary_a business_n they_o be_v not_o hinder_v in_o the_o duty_n of_o those_o day_n nay_o more_o they_o ought_v to_o contrive_v thing_n so_o and_o exact_v so_o little_a service_n from_o they_o that_o have_v their_o time_n at_o command_n the_o master_n may_v be_v in_o no_o danger_n of_o their_o servant_n neglect_v be_v charge_v upon_o they_o hence_o it_o can_v but_o be_v advisable_a on_o these_o day_n to_o dispense_v with_o that_o niceness_n which_o on_o other_o day_n may_v be_v exact_v in_o clean_v of_o room_n dinner_n may_v be_v so_o order_v as_o to_o excuse_v a_o great_a part_n of_o their_o usual_a drudgery_n in_o prepare_v it_o and_o of_o the_o attendance_n in_o wait_v unreasonable_o at_o table_n visit_n may_v be_v exclude_v till_o a_o fit_a time_n and_o go_v abroad_o with_o retinue_n put_v off_o till_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o day_n be_v over_o by_o this_o and_o other_o like_a management_n those_o who_o have_v the_o care_n of_o family_n may_v show_v the_o best_a kind_n of_o compassion_n to_o their_o servant_n in_o give_v they_o great_a opportunity_n for_o save_v their_o soul_n and_o take_v all_o excuse_n out_o of_o their_o hand_n but_o since_o no_o part_n of_o the_o duty_n of_o these_o day_n can_v be_v well_o perform_v without_o due_a instruction_n in_o the_o christian_a doctrine_n hence_o be_v master_n to_o see_v that_o their_o servant_n have_v all_o necessary_a convenience_n for_o be_v teach_v what_o they_o be_v oblige_v to_o know_v many_o be_v so_o unhappy_a either_o in_o their_o education_n or_o the_o dulness_n of_o their_o temper_n that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o little_a help_n will_v serve_v for_o their_o instruction_n this_o circumstance_n be_v therefore_o to_o be_v well_o consider_v and_o provision_n must_v be_v make_v for_o every_o one_o according_a to_o their_o want_n if_o some_o service_n be_v excuse_v for_o accomplish_v this_o so_o necessary_a work_n the_o master_n will_v be_v no_o loser_n in_o the_o end_n since_o beside_o the_o

be_v due_a according_a to_o the_o common_a rate_n which_o custom_n and_o practice_n have_v set_v upon_o it_o but_o i_o speak_v not_o here_o of_o those_o who_o particular_a art_n as_o in_o paint_v carve_v &c._n &c._n can_v be_v thus_o rate_v but_o must_v be_v different_o value_v according_a to_o the_o rarity_n of_o the_o work_n second_o if_o they_o do_v not_o take_v due_a pain_n that_o the_o

not_o to_o answer_v the_o contract_n it_o be_v evident_a they_o overreach_v their_o neighbour_n and_o take_v money_n for_o what_o they_o have_v not_o do_v since_o the_o price_n of_o slight_a work_n be_v very_o different_a from_o that_o which_o be_v more_o substantial_a in_o this_o be_v concern_v all_o sort_n of_o work_a trade_n and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o principal_a part_n of_o honesty_n belong_v to_o their_o profession_n to_o finish_v their_o work_n according_a to_o agreement_n both_o as_o to_o the_o goodness_n of_o material_n and_o due_a care_n in_o make_v it_o up_o so_o it_o be_v a_o

if_o by_o neglect_v to_o finish_v their_o work_n according_a to_o agreement_n or_o in_o due_a time_n they_o considerable_o injure_v those_o who_o employ_v they_o this_o may_v be_v in_o many_o case_n and_o be_v most_o evident_a in_o what_o belong_v to_o plough_v plant_v and_o garden_v where_o neglect_n prove_v the_o loss_n of_o the_o season_n four_o if_o the_o material_n or_o ingredient_n be_v

this_o be_v a_o method_n of_o many_o work_a trade_n but_o particular_o of_o those_o who_o make_v up_o clothes_n but_o how_o to_o excuse_v it_o from_o fraud_n i_o can_v tell_v since_o be_v pay_v for_o

down_o and_o consider_v by_o such_o as_o employ_v they_o for_o time_n be_v valuable_a to_o such_o as_o work_v for_o bread_n but_o however_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v their_o own_o pay_n master_n
