answerable_a to_o their_o calling_n so_o here_o he_o appoint_v servant_n their_o duty_n towards_o their_o master_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n and_o although_o such_o kind_n of_o service_n as_o

they_o do_v nothing_o for_o their_o bodily_a master_n pleasure_n against_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n fourthlie_o because_o servant_n be_v wont_v for_o the_o most_o part_n to_o serve_v to_o the_o
