if you would shewe what masters they should be hereafter After the care of their soules they must care for their bodies for if the labourer is worthie of his hire which laboureth but a day what is the seruant worth which laboureth euerie day Therefore Paule is so earnest with Philemon to make much of Onesimus his seruant that he desireth Philemon to receiue him as he would himself Therefore because cruell greedie Masters should not vse them too hardly God remembred them in his creation and made euerie weeke one day of rest wherein they should be as free as their Masters so God pitieth the poore labourer from heauen and euerie Saboath lookes downe vpon him from heauen as if he should say one day thy labours shall haue an ende and thou shalt rest for euer as thou restest this day By this wee see as Dauid did limit Ioab that hee should not kill Absalom so God hath bound masters that they should not oppresse their seruants Shall God respect thine more than thou Art thou made fresher to thy labour by a little rest and is not thy seruant made stronger by rest to labour for thee How many beasts and sheepe did Laban lose onely for hardly intreating of a good seruant Therfore that is the way to lose but not to thriue He which counteth his seruant his slaue is in an error for there is difference betweene beleeuing seruants and Infidel seruants the Infidels were made slaues to the Iewes because GOD hated them and would humble them but their brethren did serue theÌ„ like helpers which should be trained by them It is not a base nor a vile thing to be called a seruant for our Lord is called a seruant which teacheth Christians to vse their seruants well for Christs sake seeing they are seruants too and haue one master Christ. As Dauid speaketh of man saying Thou hast made him a little lower than the Angells so I may say of seruants that God hath made them a little lower thaÌ„ children not children but the next to children as one would say inferiour children or sonnes in lawe and therefore the householder is called Paterfamilias which signifieth a father of his familie because he shoulde haue a fatherly care ouer his seruants as if they were his children and not vse theÌ„ onely for their labour like beasts Beside the name of a seruant doth not signifie suffering but dooing therefore masters must not exercise their hands vppon them but set their hands to worke and yet as God laieth no more vppon his seruants than he makes them able to beare so men should lay no more vppon their seruants than they are able to beare For a good man saith Salomon is mercifull to his beast and therefore he will be more mercifull to his brother That man is not worthie to bee serued which cannot affoord that his seruants should serue God as well as himselfe Giue vnto God that which is Gods and then thou maiest take that which is thine He which careth not for his familie saith Paule is worse than an Infidel because Infidels care for their familie But as Agur praieth Giue me not too much nor too little but feede me with foode conuenient So their care should not be too much nor too little but conuenient or els they are worse than Infidells too because Couetousnes is called Idolatrie which is worse than Infidelitie for it is lesse rebellion not to honour the King than to set vp another King against him as the Idolaters doo against the King of heauen Next vnto seruants instruction and labours must bee considered their corrections As Paule saith Fathers prouoke not your children to wrath So I may say Masters prouoke not your seruants to wrath that is vse such reproofes such corrections that you do not prouoke them but mooue them that you doo not exasperate them but win them for reuiling words and vnreasonable fiercenes doth more hurt than good And therefore the law of God did charge the Master that hee should not inflict aboue fourtie stripes vppon his seruant least hee should seeme despised in his eyes For while a childe or scholler or seruant dooth thinke that hee is reprooued for loue or beaten with reason it makes him think of his fault and be ashamed but when he seeth that he is rebuked with curses and beaten with staues as though hee were hated like a dogge his heart is hardened against the man which correcteth him and the fault for which he is corrected after he becommeth desperate like a horse which turneth vppon the striker and therefore thinke that GOD euen then chides you wheÌ„soeuer you chide in such rage For though there be a fault yet some things must bee winkt at some things forgiuen and some things punished with a looke for he which takes the forfeit of euery offence shall neuer rest but vexe himselfe more than his seruant Further I haue heard Experience say that in these punishments it is most meete and acceptable to the offender that the man should correct his men and the woman her maides for a mans nature skorneth to bee beaten of a woman and a maides nature is corrupted with the stripes of a man Therefore wee reade that Abraham would not meddle with his maide but committed her to his wife and saide Doo with her as it pleaseth thee As if he should say it belongeth not to me but to thee Lastly we put the duetie toward children because they come last to their hands In Latin children are called Pignora that is pledges as if I should say a pledge of the husbands loue to the wife and a pledge of the wiues loue toward the husband for there is nothing which doth so knit loue between the man and the wife as the fruite of the wombe Therefore when Leah began to conceaue she sayd now my husband will loue me as though the husband did loue for children If a woman haue many defects as Leah had yet this is the mends which she makes her husband to bring him childreÌ„ which is the right Wedding Ring that sealeth and maketh vp as it were the Marriage When their father and mother fall out they pert vp betweene them like little mediators and with many pretie sportes make truce when other dare not speake to theÌ„ Therefore now let vs consider what these little ones may challenge of their parents which staÌ„d theÌ„ in sted of Lawiers The first duetie is the mothers that is to nurse her childe at her owne breasts as Sara did Isaak therefore Esaiah ioyneth the nurces name and the mothers name both in one and calleth them nurcing mothers shewing that mothers should bee the nurces So wheÌ„ God chose a nurce for Moses he led the handmaid of Pharaohs daughter to his mother as though GOD would haue none to nurse him but his mother After when the Sonne of God was borne his

Thess. 4. where it is said Let no man defraude or circumuent his brother in any thing Some will not take Vsurie but they will lend out their money to occupiers vpon condition to bee partakers in their gaines but not in their losses so one takes all the paines and abideth al the venture the other which takes no pains reapeth halfe the profite This Vsurie is forbidden in 2. Thessa. 3. 10. where it is saide He which will not worke let him not eate Some will not take Vsurie but if he bee a Labourer or a Mason or a Carpenter which borroweth of him he will couenant with him for so many daies worke he shall labour with him so manie daies or so many weekes for no money but the lone of money This Vsury is condemned in Luk. 10. 7. where it is said The labourer is worthie of his hire Some will not take Vsurie but if you haue not present money to pay for their wares they will set a high price of them for the forbearing of the time and so they doo not onely sell their wares but they sell time too that is they doo not onely sell their owne but they sell Gods owne Therefore one saith of these When he selleth the day he selleth the light and when hee selleth the night hee selleth rest therefore when he would haue the light of heauen and the rest of Paradise it shall be said vnto him that he hath solde both alreadie For he solde light when he sold the day and he solde rest when he sold the night and therefore now he can haue neither light nor rest There be other Vsurers which will not lend themselues but giue leaue to their wiues and they play like hucksters that is euerie moneth a penny for a shilling which is one hundred for another in the yeare But that I was informed of theÌ„ since this Sermon was preached I had left out our capitall Vsurers which will not lend any money because they dare not require so much gaine as they would haue but if you would borrow an hundred pounde they will giue you wares worth three score pounde and you shal answer them an hundred pound for it These are the Vsurers generall which lurke about the Citie like Rats and Wesels and Fulmers of whom may bee said the same which is said of the diuels they seeke whom they may deuoure There be other Cosins to Vsurers which are not counted Vsurers such as take money for that which they shoulde giue freelie such as take as much for a counterfeit as for the best such as take a fee of a Client and doo him no pleasure such as take money for Masses and Dirges and Trentalls and Pardons and such like drugs which do no more good than fire out of the chimney This is a kind of Vsury and deceit beside which one day they will cast away as Iudas did his thirtie pence Now you haue heard the kinds of Vsurie you shall heare the arguments which are deuised for Vsurie Sinne is neuer complet vntill it bee excused this is the vauntage which the diuell getteth by euery sinne whensoeuer he can fasten any temptation vppon vs wee giue him a sinne for it and an excuse to boote as Adam our father did First he sinned and then he excused so first we sinne and then we excuse first an Vsurer then an excuser Therefore euerie Vsurer will defend Vsurie with his tung though hee condemne it with his conscience If the Image makers of Ephesus had not liued by Images they would haue spoken for Images no more than the rest for none stood for Images but the Image makers so if the Vsurers did not liue by Vsurie they woulde speak for Vsurie no more than the rest for none stand for Vsurie but Vsurers It is an easie matter if a man be disposed to speake something for euerie vice as some defende the Stewes some defende Nonresidencie some defende swearing by my faith some defend bowling vppon the Saboath and some defend Vsurie But will you pleade for Baal saith Ioash that is will you pleade for sinne which will pleade against you A sin is a sin when it is defended nay a sinne is two sins when it is defended for he which breaketh one of the least Commandements saith Christ and teacheth others to doo so is the least in the kingdom of heauen A Squire of low degree is a Squire of no degree so the least in the kingdome of heauen is none of the kingdome of heauen Who then is the least in the kingdome of heauen not he which breaketh the least of the Commandements but he which teacheth others to doo so that is he which by defending and excusing and minsing and extenuating his sinne incourageth others to sinne too To defend Vsurie they distinguish vppon it as they distinguish
